The Hilton Niagara Falls is the largest and the tallest hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario. It was built in two phases, separated by a span of ten years. The first phase of the hotel is 30 storeys high and was opened in 1999. The second phase was built in 2009. It has 50 storeys and is 550 ft (167 m) high at the roof-top. (That makes it even taller than the Skylon Tower which is 158.50 m at the very top).

The Hilton Niagara Falls is located on 6361 Fallsview Blvd. The Fallsview Casino Resort is located across the street and is connected to the hotel via an internal walkway. The Skylon Tower and the Queen Victoria Park are only a 5 minute walk form here.

On the menu is a Classic Breakfast of two eggs with bacon or sausage, served with home-fries and toast. Or you can go for pancakes, fresh fruits and greek-yoghurt.
