Niagara Falls, ON  January 23, 2010 — Today brings great news for the city of Niagara Falls and the Falls Avenue Entertainment Complex.

New Jobs For Niagara

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has renewed the lease of Casino Niagara at its current location on Falls Avenue. The lease extension is for an additional 15 years, showing the Provincial Government’s confidence in the future of Niagara Falls. This commitment creates stability and certainty on which economic development and job creation can be built.

“I am excited that we have this opportunity to bring hospitality & tourism jobs into the much needed private sector in Niagara Falls”, said Dino DiCienzo of the Canadian Niagara Hotels.

The 300 room 30 floor Hotel with a Falls view will be the first All-Suites Hotel in the Falls Avenue / Clifton Hill area.

The New Development will be physically connected to Casino Niagara, the Fallsview Indoor Waterpark, the Crowne Plaza Fallsview and other Falls Avenue venues including the many restaurants and attractions within the complex. This addition will bring new customers and growth opportunities to the existing businesses in the surrounding Niagara area.

“We will be moving quickly and expect to have shovels in the ground this year,” DiCienzo added. The new hotel is scheduled to open in 2012.

During its construction phase the new development is expected to involve many local construction firms, and other trade workers.  Once complete, the hotel will create 250 direct, permanent full-time hospitality & tourism related jobs.

Expressing his support for the project, Niagara Falls Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Kim Craitor stated, “it is now clear that by keeping his promise to maintain two casinos in Niagara Falls, Premier McGuinty has not just saved thousands of local jobs, he has actually helped create even more jobs and investment”.

“Today is a great day for tourism and jobs in Niagara,” Niagara Falls Mayor Ted Salci added.

Canadian Niagara Hotels Inc. is a Niagara Falls based family owned business. It’s operations include: The Sheraton on the Falls Hotel & Convention Centre, The Crowne Plaza Niagara Falls – Fallsview, Days Inn at the Falls, Skyline Inn, Hampton Inn by Hilton at the Falls and numerous restaurants including the Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood, the Rainforest Cafe, Perkins and three Starbucks as wells as retail establishments such as the Hershey’s Story, the World Wide Entertainment (WWE) Store, and MGM Studios Plaza.

Jonas Brothers visit Sheraton on the Falls

September 24th, 2009

jonas-brothers-muchmusic-1The Sheraton on the Falls has played host to many stars throughout the years, however an appearance by the Jonas Brothers has to be recognized as one of the most notable in recent memory.

Staff and management were pleased that the brothers chose the Sheraton on the Falls to host their first trip to Niagara Falls.  Nick, Kevin and Joe spent the weekend in Niagara as a break from filming of their new movie Disney’s Camp Rock 2.

The brothers enjoyed lunch at Elements Restaurant located at Niagara Parks, took a ride on the Maid of the Mist, and ended their day with dinner at our Fallsview Rainbow Dining Room at the Crowne Plaza Fallsview enjoying both the spectacular view from the restaurant and an exquisite meal

It was a pleasure to host the group, and I’d like to thank the staff for their professionalism and for hospitality they extended not only to the Jonas Brothers, but to all guests who grace the hotel.

Niagara Falls: A Golfing Destination

May 1st, 2009

Spring has arrived and it’s time to dust off the clubs and practice the swing.  Niagara’s abundant courses are open and ready for business and with greens designed to challenge every level of player.   With celebrity backed courses popping up including John Daly’s Thundering Waters, and courses designed by Rees Jones, Niagara has quickly become a golf destination.  Mark Twain once said “Golf is a good walk spoiled” but Niagara’s unique landscape of vineyards, escarpment and natural wonders provide scenery for a backdrop you couldn’t be disappointed in experiencing.

The Sheraton is proud to once again provide guests the opportunity to play at two expertly manicured courses, Legends on the Niagara and Whirlpool with our one night golf package that includes hotel accommodation, Fallsview breakfast for two, and green fees and cart for a round of 18 for two.

See you on the back nine,
