Fodor's Expert Review Victorian Villas

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

A breath of fresh air in Niagara-on-the-Lake, this lodging option offers ultramodern, beautifully appointed, and self-contained condolike properties right in the heart of the Queen Street shopping district. Choose from studio suites with kitchenettes or one- and two-bedroom condos with full kitchens; if you just need a place to sleep, you can opt for a deluxe room. The decor is all subtle grays and taupes, but luxurious with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops in the kitchens, L'Occitane toiletries in the bathrooms, and 42-inch HDTVs in all the bedrooms. In keeping with the independent vibe, self-parking and Wi-Fi are free and there's a grocery store next door; but there is a Clefs d'Or–trained concierge on duty to help out when needed.
