Fodor's Expert Review Harbour House

The closest hotel to the waterfront is this luxurious and romantic boutique hotel with a gently sloping gambrel roof and handsome cedar shingles. The maritime-theme rooms are individually decorated in taupes and creams, some with beadboard doors or ships mounted on the walls. Sample locally produced preserves and homemade pastries at breakfast and attend wine-and-cheese tastings in the afternoon for the full Niagara experience. Harbour House shares facilities (restaurants, spa, gym) with sister properties the Shaw Club and the Charles Hotel.
