Fodor's Expert Review Pillar and Post
48 John St., Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, L0S 1J0, Canada Fodor's Choice
A two-story hotel six blocks from the heart of town, this building has been a cannery, barracks, and basket factory in its 100-plus-year history. The decor draws on this past: brick-lined corridors, latched barn-door-style room doors, and upper rooms with the original factory beams (now painted off-white) embedded in the vaulted ceilings. Rooms boast a more contemporary and casual design, with mahogany furniture, carved four-poster beds, and iron chandeliers, and many have fireplaces. The top-rated spa; the indoor saltwater pool (complete with real palm trees and faux birdsong); and the outdoor "hot springs" are the treasures of this property.
