How the days go
- 1
Arrival in Old Town NOTL
Park at the hotel and step immediately into Niagara-on-the-Lake's historic Old Town — the Shaw Festival Theatre is directly across the street, the restaurants and galleries of Picton and Queen Streets within a five-minute walk.
- 2
Spa morning
The boutique spa is the wellness anchor — a Swedish massage or deep-tissue treatment before the day begins, or a facial and body wrap as the afternoon winds down. Personal and unhurried in scale.
- 3
Wine country touring
The concierge arranges the itinerary: a circuit of the Niagara-on-the-Lake wineries — Peller Estates, Stratus, Inniskillin, Two Sisters — with tasting appointments and, if desired, a cycling route along the Niagara Parkway through the orchards and vines.
- 4
Shaw Festival performance
Cross the street to the Shaw Festival Theatre for an evening performance — the Theatre concierge can arrange tickets for the full Festival season repertoire. Pre-theatre dinner at one of the Old Town restaurants follows naturally.
- 5
Old Town evening
Niagara-on-the-Lake's Old Town closes around its restaurants and shops as the evening settles — a walk along the Niagara Parkway at sunset, or a nightcap on a restaurant patio, is the natural end to the day.
