Our shortlist of hotels in Niagara Falls, New York: every qualifying property within 6 miles of the centre, with the reason behind each pick.
The American side of Niagara Falls is compact: Niagara Falls State Park sits directly at the edge of town, with the Rainbow Bridge crossing to Ontario. Fallsview rooms on this side are far less common than across the border, so what you are usually booking is proximity to the park entrance rather than a view.
Areas covered: Niagara Falls State Park, Downtown Niagara Falls, Rainbow Bridge, Lewiston.
Selection radius: properties within 6 miles of the centre of Niagara Falls, measured from coordinates in our source data.
2 qualifying stays reviewed. 2 made this shortlist.
We start from every hotel, inn, resort, lodge and bed & breakfast in our United States dataset that scores 8.5 or higher on Booking.com with at least 100 guest reviews. For this page we then looked only at properties in Niagara Falls. See how we select hotels.
Only 2 qualifying stays here. That is below the five-property minimum we set for a shortlist worth publishing, so this page is not in our search index. We are showing what we have rather than padding the list with properties we would not pick.
