St. Catharines Hotels
St Catharines is a city of contrasts, thanks to its reputation as a place of industry, and in recent years a hub for the communication industry, but one which combines this forward-facing innovation with a great swathe of parks and greenery. There's also plenty of water on hand, thanks to it being the entrance for the Welland Canal, and being home to water mills as well as call centers, museums, and vineyards as well as modern shops and offices.
Things to see
One of the best ways of soaking up some of the atmosphere, and history, of the area is with a visit to St. Catharine's Museum where you'll discover the role that the Welland Canal played in the region's past, and get up close and personal with some stunning artefacts. As well as exhibits based on shipping and marine relics, there's also plenty to see from the region's agricultural heritage and its rich wine industry. For a more open-air experience, the Rockway Conservation Area is a perfect place to dust off your hiking boots and hit the trail. Along the way you'll see plenty of plants, such as Witch Hazel and Sycamore, not to mention two pretty awe-inspiring waterfalls. If you're a fan of the grape, then a visit to Rockway Vineyards may be close to your idea of heaven, with stunning dining and a golf course to compliment the perfect bottle of wine.
Hotels in St. Catharines
There are a wide range of hotels in St Catharines, and you'll be able to find something to suit every budget. If you're looking for luxury, you should be able to find something up to your pampering standards in one of the spa resorts towards Niagara Falls where you'll be able to enjoy the on-site health clubs and service spas. Most of the hotels in St Catharines are more at the budget and mid-range end, but you'll find that complimentary WiFi, flat-screen televisions, and tea and coffee making facilities will tend to come as standard.
Where to stay
You'll want to stay in St Catharines city center to benefit from the rejuvenation going on among the downtown area, where there's been a real injection of money to transform it into a bustling, modern city where the performing arts and sports rub shoulders with thriving shops and other businesses moving into the region which was until recent years marked by a number of vacant properties. As well as being on hand to benefit from this upwardly mobile area, you'll be close to the rose gardens, arboretums, bird sanctuaries, and other open spaces of this green and pleasant city.
How to get to St. Catharines
St Catharines is well-connected to the rest of Canada thanks to St Catharines Station, where a number of regular and reliable train services operate from and to Toronto, as well as linking the city to Niagara Falls during the summer and at weekends. It's not just within Canada that there are handy connections, however, with the railway also running to New York City, meaning you can explore on both sides of the border.
