Niagara Falls is a beautiful place to visit but the hotel situation isn't the most fabulous. The Barton Hill Hotel & Spa seeks to change that. The hotel in Lewiston, New York will open in June 2007 and has already started taking reservations. The 78-room boutique hotel will have guest rooms with fireplaces and river gorge views and the spa will offer aromatherapy, body wraps and other treatments. Hotel owner Diane Finkbeiner sees the property as a chance to educate travelers about lovely Lewiston while delivering a luxe American vacation. Rates start at $179.
