Hotel at a Glance: Niagara Falls Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa

Oscar Wilde once described Niagara Falls as “simply a vast amount of water going the wrong way over some unnecessary rocks.” But the falls’ millions of annual visitors tend to have a different reaction when they witness the spectacle. If you really want to prove the Irish playwright wrong, the four-star Marriott Niagara Falls may have the ideal vantage point—the Travel Channel says it’s “the closest hotel to the action and promises the best views.”

• Fallsview Casino: Enjoy an expansive 200,000 square foot gaming floor featuring over 3,000 slot machines and classic table games such as poker, roulette, and blackjack.
• Bonus fun: Hit the ice at Wayne Gretzky Estates skating rink (rental skates included). Then head over to the tasting room for a warming-up drink afterwards.
• Swirl and sip wines during the included wine tastings for two at Jackson-Triggs winery and Inniskillin winery.
• Where to eat at the brand new onsite Morton’s Grille. All options of this Getaway include a C$20 dining credit valid with minimum two-entree purchase for Morton’s Grille, as well as C$20 vouchers for Massimo’s Italian Fallsview Restaurant and Milestones on the Falls.
• Get pampered with massages, facials, and body treatments at Serenity Spa by the Falls.
• Grab a drink: Head to the Lobby Lounge for cocktails and even more great views.
• See the falling colors of fireworks flash over Niagara, the bursts painting the waters neons of blue and red.

Niagara Falls, Ontario: Panoramic Views of the Falls near Vegas-Style Casinos and Water Parks

At Niagara Falls, water thunders downward from a height of nearly 200 feet, crashing onto craggy boulders below. The falls straddle the border between Canada and the United States, but the Canadian side of the Niagara River is universally hailed as the finest vantage point to take in all three of Niagara Falls’ photogenic brinks: American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.

Year-round, Journey Behind the Falls grants a glimpse behind the curtain of Horseshoe Falls—visitors board an elevator that descends 150 feet into the bedrock, then stand at an observation deck steps from the cascading water. A 10-minute walk from the falls is the neon-lit Clifton Hill neighborhood. Its Fallsview Boulevard has plenty of Vegas-style kitsch, including glitzy casinos and indoor water parks.
