Experience the Winter Festival of Lights

From mid-November through January, Niagara Falls transforms into a dazzling winter wonderland. The Winter Festival of Lights is Canada’s largest illumination festival, featuring millions of sparkling lights and breathtaking displays that stretch along the Niagara Parkway, Dufferin Islands, and the Fallsview area.

Stroll hand-in-hand through glowing tunnels, capture the perfect photo beneath shimmering light arches, and marvel at the nightly fireworks displays over the Falls. It’s a festive experience that truly captures the magic of the season — and it’s just minutes from Sterling Inn & Spa.

Unwind with a Luxurious Spa Experience

After taking in the sights, warm up and unwind with a visit to The Spa at Sterling Inn. Indulge in signature treatments designed to rejuvenate your body and soul — from tension-melting massages to soothing facials and body wraps.

What Our Guests Have to Say

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I’ve had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional boutique hotel three times thus far and each time swear I will return. The place is flawless, from the breathtaking accommodation’s, to the included gourmet breakfast in bed experience, to the professional and friendly staff. I have always been made to feel like an honoured guest. There is nothing typical or tired about this classy oasis in Niagara Falls. Each room is architecturally unique (the hotel is a renovated historical dairy) and furnished with style and quality. From the gigantic jetted tubs to the relaxing steam showers, and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve experienced, the stay could not have been nicer! There are simply too many positive points to list and I’d rather you experience each delightful highlight as a surprise. You won’t be disappointed!

Phineas F., TripAdvisor Review

What an underrated place. This place is a hidden gem. I recently stayed using the Wine and Dine package and had a great time. This is my first time staying in a hotel that gives you a steam shower as an option. Such a great experience. The restaurant, AG Inspired Cuisine, attached to the hotel is also 5 stars. The morning breakfast in bed is also fantastic. Would highly recommend the wine and dine package and for anyone to check out this amazing hotel.

Hardeek V., Google Review
One of the best overnight experiences we have ever had. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left the staff at the Inn was 5 Star. We had a beautiful Jacuzzi suite with extremely comfortable accommodations. Our breakfast was included every morning and was delivered in a timely manner and delicious. The restaurant was also 5 star. If you are looking for 5 star overnight stay this is your place.
Barb S., Google Review

Every year since we retired we plan a little getaway for a couple of days and pamper ourselves and this year we decided to go to Sterling Inn & Spa and had a very nice and relaxing stay. We took advantage of their Spa with a couples massage and my wife took advantage of another service that they provide and we were extremely happy with our spa treatment. The food from their restaurant was second to none. Who ever the Chef is they should be very proud of the quality of their craft. You cannot ask for a better staff to represent their establishment. Everyone was polite, helpful and very accommodating which is very hard to find today. I am sure that we will visit Sterling Inn & Spa in the future.
