Overview

Top-notch customer service, elegant rooms and tasty cuisine
Recent guests thought the rooms and restaurants were pricey
Occupying a former 19th-century factory, Pillar and Post oozes Old World charm from its lofty ceilings, wooden beams and terracotta tile flooring. Recent visitors say The Cannery Restaurant, the hotel's main dining venue, particularly captures the property's elegant country-style decor with its period style and intricate post-and-beam construction. The restaurant's tasty Canadian dishes also earns high marks from previous patrons, but if you're craving lighter cuisine, you can sit down at Vintages Wine Bar & Lounge for a cocktail and casual pub fare. After you've satisfied your appetite, travelers suggest indulging in a replenishing treatment at the 13,000-square-foot 100 Fountain Spa. At the end of the day, you'll curl up in comfortable, contemporary digs appointed with amenities like high-speed internet access, flat-screen TVs, and wooden furnishings. Another major selling point, according to previous visitors, is the hotel's gracious hospitality. Previous visitors claim the hotel's personalized customer service sets it apart from competitors. You'll find Pillar and Post perched in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.
