Gather Here. Discover More.
Think of St. Catharines as your home base for a Niagara gathering, with a little more room to breathe and a lot more to discover.
Tucked between Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment, St. Catharines is easy to get to and wonderfully easy to get around. It’s close enough to the action to make exploring a breeze, with wineries, breweries, restaurants, attractions and unforgettable Niagara experiences all just a short drive away. And with Toronto, Hamilton and the U.S. border within easy reach, getting your people here is just as simple.
When the meeting is over, the fun doesn’t have to be. Swap the boardroom for a wine tasting, take a stroll along the lake, catch a show, discover a new favourite restaurant or venture out to explore more of Niagara.
From polished meeting spaces and full-service hotels to waterfront, cultural, and one-of-a-kind venues, St. Catharines offers plenty of ways to gather, connect, and make an event memorable.
In St. Catharines, the meeting is just the beginning.
