Sheraton on the Falls is a 250 feet (76 m) hotel located on the Falls Avenue 20 acre entertainment complex in Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada.

History

The Sheraton site has housed guests to Niagara Falls for over 100 years. The first hotel at this location, The Parkside Inn, was built in the early 1890s. It was a three-story building, with an observatory. The grounds were well kept and amenities included hot & cold running water, electricity, and gas. In later years, the Parkside was enlarged by incorporating two adjacent buildings into the original structure. In 1923, Howard Fox purchased the hotel and changed its name to The Clifton Inn which was later shortened to The Inn. It became The Foxhead in 1926 after being remodelled into an old-style old English Inn.

During 1959, the western end of the Foxhead was converted into Tussaud's Waxworks, which still stands today. The rest of the building was demolished in 1964, where upon a new Foxhead Inn opened in 1966. After the amusement park's demise, this hotel became Sheraton Foxhead Inn. The 14 storey hotel was enlarged, and expanded upon in 2000 to become the 22 storey 4-Diamond Sheraton on the Falls Hotel.
