New hotels in Niagara Falls

We track two new hotels on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, Ontario: Hyatt Regency Niagara Falls Fallsview, which opened April 1, 2026 as a reflag of the former Embassy Suites, and The Toronto Power Hotel, a $200-million restoration of a decommissioned power station targeting 2028. Both sit within the Fallsview district overlooking the Horseshoe Falls rather than in Clifton Hill's entertainment strip or the Queen Street downtown core. Anyone planning a trip today has one open option; The Toronto Power Hotel is the one to watch for 2028.

What to do

A weekend in Niagara Falls, Ontario

Start at the brink of the Horseshoe Falls along the Niagara Parkway, then walk or take the People Mover to Clifton Hill, the city's entertainment strip of arcades, mini-golf and the Niagara SkyWheel. In the evening, head to Queen Street in the historic downtown core, a few minutes from Fallsview, for a quieter dinner away from the Falls-side crowds. A Hornblower boat tour or the Journey Behind the Falls tunnels are worth booking ahead for daytime, especially on summer weekends, and the Whirlpool Aero Car a few kilometres downriver is a quick add-on for anyone with a car.

A full week

With more time, an e-bike or cycling tour along the Niagara Parkway covers the stretch between the Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake (itself worth a full day for its 19th-century main street, theatre and surrounding wineries) and the Botanical Gardens and Butterfly Conservatory make an easy half-day away from the tourist strip. Wine touring in the Niagara Peninsula's wineries is a short drive from either Fallsview or downtown, the Niagara Glen's nature trails below the Whirlpool offer a quieter riverside walk than the Falls themselves, and the Welland Canal locks at Thorold are worth a detour for anyone interested in the region's shipping history. A river cruise or jet-boat tour is a common way to see the Whirlpool Rapids from the water rather than from the parkway above.

Where to stay

Fallsview

Hyatt Regency Niagara Falls Fallsview opened April 1, 2026 on the Canadian side of the Horseshoe Falls, a reflag of the former 611-room Embassy Suites into Hyatt's first hotel in the destination: the closest Canadian property to the cataract itself, with renovated rooms and suites aimed at both leisure travelers and the city's convention business. The Toronto Power Hotel is confirmed to open by 2028 inside the historic Toronto Power Generating Station on the Niagara Parkway, a Beaux-Arts landmark decommissioned in 1974 and dormant for 50 years, that Pearle Hospitality and Society Developments are converting into the destination's first five-star boutique hotel, pairing guest rooms with a museum, art gallery and theatre open to the public.

Which hotel for your trip

Travelers who want the closest possible view of the Falls

Hyatt Regency Niagara Falls Fallsview's 42 floors overlook the Horseshoe Falls directly, making it the practical choice for anyone visiting today who wants a room with a waterfall view.

Design and history-minded travelers watching the pipeline

The Toronto Power Hotel, once it opens, will be the destination's first genuinely five-star, design-led property: a former power station dormant for 50 years, reworked around a public museum and gallery rather than a conventional hotel program.

Convention and group travelers

Hyatt Regency Niagara Falls Fallsview's scale, 611 rooms and suites carried over from its Embassy Suites days, suits conference and group bookings better than the smaller, boutique-scale project still to come nearby.

Travelers crossing from the US side

Both properties sit within a short walk or drive of the Rainbow Bridge border crossing into Niagara Falls, New York, making either a workable base for a multi-day trip that covers both sides of the falls.
