The King George Inn
The King George Inn The King George Inn in Port Colborne is located downtown in the old Post Office, 239 King Street. Over the course of history the building has been used for many purposes: City Hall, Council Chambers, police station, jail, and courtroom. The hotel retains a unique historic ambience by incorporating its past into the hotel. What used to be postal vaults and holding cells are now features in some of the sixteen individually themed suites, the restaurant, and conference centre which comprise the hotel. Other suites have nautical or heritage themes. Your stay in Port Colborne will be special, an experience that simply cannot be duplicated anywhere else. On the north shore of Lake Erie, Port Colborne is one of the gems of the Niagara Region: Rich in history but full of life, a tranquil spot with lots to offer. From Antique Shops to Arenas (we have 2) and a 200 berth marina. Themed suites include... The Judges Chamber The Postmaster General The Bankers Vault The Mayors Suite Conveniently located on highway 3 only 20 minutes west of Fort Erie & the Peace Bridge to Buffalo and the USA, 30 minutes from Niagara Falls, Port Colborne is a landmark city with a wealth of heritage. The King George is yards from the Heritage Museum, market square and West Street, home of Canal Days and the Tall Ships races. Clarence Street Bridge marks the entrance to the Welland Canal which links Lake Erie to Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence Seaway: You can watch the Lakers as they pass through one of the longest locks in the world, Lock Eight, from your room, or from our patio.

Golf is a more popular way to relax and we have that in abundance too. Within 20 minutes of these doors are 4 courses, all offering exceptional links and facilities. Whisky Run and Port Colborne Country Club are both excellent as well as being the two nearest but if you go further afield you can happily spend two weeks playing all the courses in the area. Those looking for a more sedate and relaxed way to spend your time may take advantage of our many fine civic amenities such as the Roselawn Centre for the Arts, Library and Showboat Theatre. Alternatively, our Heritage Museum chronicles the City from Founding to the present. There is a lot about Port Colborne which may surprise you. Browsing shelves is a fun way to spend a couple of hours and we have several antique shops, and lots of little back street places filled with curios, cameos and clothing. We have a Market Square which brings fresh produce and goods from across the region every friday. As the entrance to the famous Welland Canal, we are known in the Niagara Region as the Gate of Navigation. From here the Lakers depart to the USA and here they arrive before going on to Lake Ontario, Toronto and the St. Lawrence seaway. Everything comes through this canal, from personal craft to ocean going ‘oilers’. It is a truly dramatic sight the first time you witness the Clarence Street Bridge lift an entire section of road 100 feet above an oncoming ship, yards from your window here at the King George. The most obvious attraction to visitors to our area is of course Niagara Falls, only thirty minutes from here by car or cab. With the Falls themselves, two casinos and 24/7, 365 days a year entertainment there is too much happening to detail here. Which could be a problem. It’s a real party town and that can just be too much for some. With us, you set your own pace. The falls are close enough for a night out, but you’re not kept awake by the party next door. We love the Falls, it’s a fantastic and unique place to visit and we go there every couple of months. But for some true Canadian hospitality we are glad to come home to Port Colborne. We hope you will, too. A little about... Telephone (905) 834 8096 / (905) 834 9849 239 King Street West, Port Colborne, Ontario.

On the top floor it is now a bathroom in The Bankers Vault and, in the restaurant, one is now a small, intimate Dining Room. On the lower level the vault is now a Media Room with a computer for those who need use of a machine. Several years after the original construction, the rear of the building was modified and extended for use as a police station. The holding cells used at the time are now incoroprated into the lower level of the building, in what is now the Banquet and Conference Centre. The lower levels are separate from the main bar area on the ground floor, ensuring privacy and uninterrupted peace during functions and social events. In the 1950’s the City of Port Colborne bought the building and enlarged it to house all the City Staff and the Council Chambers, which also functioned as a Courtroom. Many of the rooms in the King George Inn reflect the various uses the building has been put to since it was built: The Judges Chamber, The Postmaster General, The Bankers Vault and The Mayors Suite.
