Hilton Niagara Falls/Fallsview Hotel and Suites' North Tower is a skyscraper-style hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It was originally slated to rise 58 floors to a height of 177 metres (581 ft), but the building was subsequently reduced to 53 floors as verified by the hotel operator themselves and the new height has never been publicly released.[1] It has however clearly surpassed the Embassy Suites as tallest building in Niagara Falls and still has more than 500 rooms.[2] It is also the tallest hotel in Canada.[1][3][4]
