Ranked as the top tourist attraction in Canada, Niagara Falls is an easy pick for a weekend getaway from Toronto. While there are plenty of places to stay, there’s only one hotel in Niagara that gives you an unparalleled view right from your hotel room window: The Tower Hotel. Once known as the Seagram Tower, this 1962 landmark was actually the first observation tower near the falls. But if I wanted to see the falls without leaving the building, I headed down to the 25th-floor observation deck. You can book your stay now through the Tower Hotel website.
