Prince Of Wales Hotel

Victorian Charm Meets Modern Comfort in Niagara-on-the-Lake

A timeless stay awaits at the Prince Of Wales Hotel, a luxurious Victorian-style retreat in the heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Just steps from Lake Ontario and a short stroll to the area's renowned performance venues, this elegant property blends historic character with modern amenities, including a full-service spa and gourmet dining. Each uniquely decorated room is adorned with antiques, tapestries, and creature comforts like flat-screen TVs and in-room coffee makers. Whether you’re in the main building or one of the charming annexes nearby, you’re never far from the action—or the relaxation.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just a 10-minute walk from the Shaw Festival Theatre and other live entertainment spots, this hotel is ideal for music lovers who want a quick, scenic walk back after a show. The atmosphere is peaceful, perfect for unwinding post-performance, and the late check-out at 11:00 AM means you can sleep in after a late night. While the hotel doesn’t offer 24/7 transport, its central location makes it easy to explore on foot or via local taxis.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want a stylish base close to theaters and wineries
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance in a scenic setting
• Couples looking to pair a concert with a romantic weekend getaway
• Fans seeking quiet after the show, with spa services and serene surroundings
• Budget-conscious music fans who value classic charm and walkability over chain-hotel rates

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Noble Restaurant offers a refined dining experience with French-inspired cuisine and global wines—ideal for a pre-show dinner. For something more relaxed, the Churchill Lounge in the library serves up casual fare and cocktails. While there’s no 24-hour room service or late-night menu, you’ll find several local eateries just a short walk away. Bonus: traditional English afternoon tea is served daily for a unique daytime treat.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans toward a tranquil vibe, you’re close to a handful of wine bars and lounges in the historic downtown area. Think less club scene, more cozy conversations over Niagara wines. Don’t miss the local craft tasting rooms nearby.

What People Say

Guests rave about the beautiful historic decor, the attentive staff, and the overall peaceful ambiance. Many note its fantastic location—just far enough from crowds, yet walkable to venues and restaurants. The spa treatments and gourmet dining also earn high marks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that because the rooms are spread across five separate buildings, it can be confusing on arrival. Also, while full of charm, the hotel may not suit those wanting ultra-modern interiors or round-the-clock amenities. A few reviewers wished for more nightlife options on-site.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a romantic, refined stay within walking distance of Niagara-on-the-Lake’s best live performances, the Prince Of Wales Hotel hits all the right notes.
