Top Views from Hotels in Niagara Falls

For more than a hundred years, the whole point of visiting Niagara Falls hotels has been to see the falls. Is there a better way to enjoy the falls than from bed? A Jacuzzi, maybe? Or a buffet? Let’s just say there’s no shortage of options when it comes to finding “the best view.” Many hotels have a best view guarantee, ensuring the ultimate vista of the mighty natural wonder.

Stay on the Ontario side for the best views. While some hotels on the New York side are in close proximity to the waterfalls, they only have views of the spray. For full-frontal action, a Canuck hotel is the way to go.

Don’t be fooled by the label: just because a hotel’s name contains the word ‘falls’ doesn’t mean it has a room with a view. New York’s Sheraton at the Falls is a 10-minute walk from a good vantage point. When booking make sure it directly states “fallsview room” on a higher floor to avoid disappointment of obstructed (or non-existent) views.

Here are the top views from hotels in Niagara Falls.
