A Bit of History

The distinctive stone building of The Old Stone Inn dates back to the beginning of the century. Built originally as a three-storey structure and one of the region’s leading flour mills, the foundation stone was laid on 4 July 1904.


"Throughout the years, the Old Stone Inn has entertained and accommodated distinguished patrons including Prime Minister Trudeau (his podium remains on property at the present time), Olympian Dorothy Hamil, Princess Diana and many others." - oldstoneinnhotel.com

Wonderful Experience

Fashion Studio Magazine spent two nights at Old Stone Inn in May 2015. Our trip to Niagara Falls was a delightful break from the hectic life and busy schedule in Toronto. 

Our room (314) was very spacious and featured elegant black and white design. Comfortable bed and modern bathroom with all necessary amenities (bathrobes, hairdryer, Molton Brown toiletries) made our stay pleasant and relaxing.

Convenient location (walking distance to the falls!) was definitely one of our favourite features of the hotel. We also enjoyed the stylish indoor swimming pool and fresh food at The Flour Mill Restaurant.

Dining In Style

"Dining in a Restaurant that has embraced its 1904 roots with rugged stone, warm woods, a natural burning fireplace, plush leather and velvet seating with textured wing backs all which exudes an opulent yet relaxing environment feels more like home than public place. If you are looking for quiet elegance, try signature private-dining venue, the chef's table. If it's night lift you are after, we have that too through the 1904 Bar or our outdoor lounge, Stone Square." - oldstoneinnhotel.com


The Flour Mill Restaurant, located on the ground floor, offers fresh, locally-sourced food in trendy surroundings. All meals are made to order using only the finest ingredients from hotel's favourite farmers and artisanal producers.

The restaurant is open daily for breakfast (8am to 11am), lunch (12pm to 3pm), and dinner (5pm to 10pm). Highly recommended!
