My Top Picks: Best Niagara Falls Hotels That Overlook The Falls (Canadian Side)

Quick Tips

• Most of the hotels mentioned in this post are located in the same area and are on a bit of a hill. You will need to use something called Falls Incline Railway (like a small cable car) if you don’t feel like walking up and down the hill on your own. One way costs CAD 3.50, a round trip is CAD 7 and an all-day pass is CAD 8. If you think you will need it more than twice it makes sense to get the all-day pass. It is the same price for all ages.
• Also, most of the hotels are similar to each other and even share some of the activities – casinos, waterparks etc.
• If you are on a budget but still want to stay in one of those hotels, book a city-view room. Which will be cheaper but you can go to one of the restaurants and enjoy the views from there. Some of the hotels even have free observation decks for guests.
• If you are set on having a falls-view room, make sure you double-check when booking the room as it can be a bit confusing the way they are listed.

FAQs: Niagara Falls Hotels That Overlook The Falls

Let’s take a look at some of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to Niagara Falls hotels that overlook the Falls.

What is the best time to go to Niagara Falls?

The best time to visit Niagara Falls depends on personal preferences and what you want to experience:

Summer (June to August): This is the peak tourist season due to warm weather. You’ll find long daylight hours, boat tours like Hornblower are operational, and many attractions and activities are available. However, it can be crowded and accommodations could be more expensive.

Fall (September to November): Fall offers beautiful foliage around the falls, especially in October. The weather is generally mild, and crowds start to thin out after Labor Day. This is a great time for hiking and enjoying the scenery.

Winter (December to February): Niagara Falls in winter is stunning with frozen landscapes, and you can experience winter festivals and events. Some attractions are closed, but you can see the falls illuminated at night. Dress warmly as temperatures can be extremely cold.

Spring (March to May): Spring brings the thawing of winter ice and the blooming of flowers. It’s a quieter time to visit before the peak summer season. Temperatures can be cool, so bring appropriate clothing.

Which side of Niagara Falls is prettier?

Both the Canadian (Horseshoe) and American sides of Niagara Falls offer stunning views and unique experiences, each with its own appeal:

Canadian (Horseshoe) Falls: The Canadian side has the more iconic and picturesque views of Niagara Falls.

The Horseshoe Falls, which is part of the Canadian side, is larger and more expansive than the American Falls.

From the Canadian side, you get a panoramic view of the falls and attractions like Journey Behind The Falls and Hornblower Niagara Cruises.

I recommend visiting the Canadian side, especially if it is your first visit.

American Falls: The American side provides closer views of the Bridal Veil Falls and American Falls.

The observation points like Prospect Point and Luna Island offer intimate perspectives of the falls.

Also, you can take the Maid of the Mist boat tour from the American side.
