Romance in Canada's Honeymoon Capital

MEDIA RELEASE

The iconic Niagara Falls is the ideal backdrop for Valentine’s Day

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont.—While Niagara Falls has gained a reputation as Canada’s Honeymoon City, you don’t need to be a newlywed to be captivated by the romance of the iconic Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls has hosted royalty, has drawn the Hollywood elite —power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are among the latest visitors — and served as the backdrop for several films, including Niagara, the film that vaulted Marilyn Monroe to fame, and Superman II. It all adds to the mystique and wonder that is waiting to fire up your love life in Niagara Falls.

“The combination of a quiet night for two in a luxurious room, an exquisite meal with the finest in Ontario wines and the backdrop of one of the world’s most recognizable natural landmarks is a package you can’t find anywhere else,” says Anthony Annunziata, Vice-President of Marketing at the Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa.

“Niagara Falls is synonymous with romance. It is your destination of choice this Valentine’s Day.”

The Niagara Falls is a natural draw for couples seeking an escape, but there is so much more for couples to do in Niagara Falls that will bring them together and strengthen their bond. An escape to a hotel room is an escape from the daily grind — away from the job and the kids — to a place where you can rediscover the magic of the time when you first fell in love.

The dining options in Niagara Falls are almost limitless, from sharing ribs or chicken wings at a roadhouse or pub to an intimate setting for chef-prepared gourmet cuisine matched with the perfect wine that will tantalize your palate and take your meal beyond a dinner to an experience.The night comes alive in Niagara Falls after dinner. Dance clubs and theatres complement the attractions of the Fallsview and tourist districts. The Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara are adult playgrounds where couples can catch a show or play some slots or cards all night long.

Niagara Falls is also in the heart of Niagara’s wine country, amidst world-class award-winning wineries. Share a sample of Ontario’s finest wines, tour the winemaking facilities and enjoy the tranquility of the vineyard.

The Marriott Fallsview has put together a special package for the month of February to help couples enjoy this particularly amorous time of year. The special Valentine’s package includes: luxurious accommodations for two with a spectacular view of the Falls, a special Valentine’s dinner for two at the Terrapin Grille Fallsview Restaurant, including a bottle of Jackson-Triggs Merlot or Chardonnay, and a fallsview buffet breakfast for two.

“Valentine’s Day is about passion, and we are passionate about making sure you have a memorable time,” says Annunziata. “Spoil your loved one by adding a visit to the Serenity Spa by the Falls for the ultimate in relaxation and sensuous romance.”
