The Niagara, hotel in New York
The Niagara is a twelve-story hotel built in the early 1900s that once served as a major lodging destination for visitors to the falls. The building stands on the National Register of Historic Places and is being restored to operate as a full-service hotel with 160 rooms, dining areas, and event spaces.
The hotel was built in the early 1900s and quickly became one of the leading lodging and event venues in the region. After decades of decline and neglect, it was purchased by USA Niagara Development Corporation in 2016 to begin restoration and revitalization efforts.
The hotel marks a place where travelers from around the world have gathered for over a century. Its role in the city centers on welcoming visitors and connecting them to the falls and local stories.
Access to the building is currently limited due to ongoing renovation work, with completion expected by late 2026. Visitors can view the exterior and explore the surrounding area where new parks and public spaces are being developed.
The hotel sat empty for years after its last operation as a Travelodge closed in 2007, making its revival a symbol of the city's commitment to honoring its past. The restoration project is part of broader efforts to create heritage spaces and public parks that connect visitors to Niagara Falls' layered history.
