Niagara Parks Incline Railway and the Embassy Suites Connection
The Embassy Suites by Hilton Niagara Falls Fallsview hotel offers a unique advantage for its guests - direct access to the Niagara Parks Incline Railway. This tram connects the hotel directly to the brink of the Horseshoe Falls, providing guests with unparalleled convenience and accessibility.
The Niagara Parks Incline Railway is a one-of-a-kind experience that allows visitors to easily reach the "Bridge of Flowers" pedestrian crossing over the Niagara Parkway and into the Table Rock Centre, home to many of Niagara Parks' top attractions. Open year-round and fully accessible, the incline railway saves guests the hassle of a long walk from the hotel to the Falls and the cost of parking.
Guests staying at the Embassy Suites can simply step out of the hotel and onto the incline railway, which will transport them directly to the edge of the Horseshoe Falls in just a matter of minutes. This direct access allows visitors to spend more time enjoying the sights and experiences of Niagara Parks, rather than navigating the area.
The convenience of the Niagara Parks Incline Railway, combined with the luxurious amenities and stunning views offered by the Embassy Suites, make it an ideal choice for those seeking a seamless and unforgettable Niagara Falls experience.
