The Brock Niagara Falls - Fallsview is a landmark hotel located within the 20-acre Falls Avenue Entertainment Complex in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
History
Originally opened on July 1, 1929, the Hotel General Brock was named in honor of Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, a celebrated figure from the War of 1812. The architectural design was crafted by Findlay and Foulis, and construction was carried out by The Pigott Company from Hamilton, Ontario at a cost of $1.5 million, featuring an initial total of 260 guest rooms.
In 1948, the building expanded with the addition of two extra floors. Following the acquisition of Cardy Hotels by Sheraton Hotels in 1950, the property was rebranded as the Sheraton-Brock Hotel. A convention wing valued at $500,000, which included the Crystal Ballroom, was appended in 1959. The hotel’s name underwent further changes: it became The Brock Sheraton in 1982 and later The Sheraton Brock in 1985. After parting ways with Sheraton in 1989, it adopted the name Skyline Brock, before transitioning to Brock Plaza Hotel in 2001.
On April 17, 2008, the hotel joined the ranks of InterContinental Hotels, operating as the Crowne Plaza Niagara Falls - Fallsview. Following a $15 million refurbishment, it was rebranded on April 1, 2025, as The Brock Niagara Falls-Fallsview, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, becoming part of the Hilton Worldwide portfolio.
In popular culture
