The mezzanine lobby at the Crowne Plaza Niagara Falls Fallsview makes a grand first impression with its crystal chandelier, inviting sitting areas, player piano, and sweeping staircase descending to the octagonal Falls Avenue entrance. Arrivals can get a glimpse of the Falls right from check-in.The Grande Dame of Niagara Falls, this hotel has for nearly a century marked the very center of town. Renovated in spring 2008 and formerly known as the Brock Plaza Hotel, it fronts Falls Avenue between the Rainbow Bridge and the Clifton Hill entertainment district and affords a full sweep of the Niagara River and the Falls. Impressive Falls panoramas and a prime location among the amusements and restaurants of Falls Avenue are two of the main draws. The top-floor restaurant offers some of the best views of the Falls anywhere. An indoor lap pool and spa tub are located on the third floor. The Crowne Plaza Niagara Falls Fallsview is linked to Casino Niagara by covered walkway.
