allow for site planning of the current Marriott hotel. The Waltzing Waters, a light and water show synchronized to music, disappeared altogether by 2000. The aquarium was dismantled in 1996 to allow for further site expansion. The 2000s boom in large hotel construction on Fallsview Boulevard, such as the Fallsview Hotel, Hilton Hotel, and Embassy Suites by Hilton, as well as the nearby Oakes Hotel and Radisson, has diminished the Tower Hotel's prominence as a landmark. All of these hotels strive to give their guests as good a view of the Falls as possible by taking advantage of their position of the height on land above the falls, once dominated solely by the Tower Hotel. In contrast, the airspace around the Skylon Tower remains fairly open, thanks to its position further down the Niagara River away from the American Falls and Horseshoe Falls. Naming The Tower Hotel was originally called the Seagram Tower, named after the House of Seagram business in Montreal, Quebec. Over the years, due to multiple bankruptcies and ownership changes, tower names changed between Heritage Tower (1969), Royal Inn Tower (1971), Royal Center Tower (1972), Panasonic Tower (1973), Minolta Tower (1984), and Konica Minolta Tower Centre (2003) with the merger of Konica and Minolta in 2003. The tower underwent renovations again in 2010, resulting in its colour reverting to the original white, the banner displaying Konica Minolta being replaced by the title Tower Hotel, and the removal of the exterior clocks. Features Observation deck Located on the 25th floor, this deck features a panoramic view of the falls and Niagara River in addition to floor-to-ceiling windows treated with a non-glare finish designed to enhance photography. There are many historical photos and news articles about the construction of the tower mounted around the deck in addition to pay-per-use telescopes. The observation deck is now closed and only available for weddings. Restaurants The restaurant has an International House of Pancakes location on the 26th floor, previously home to Marilyn's Bistro & Lounge, a restaurant themed after Marilyn Monroe in honour of the film, Niagara, in which she starred. The tower's original, award-winning gourmet Pinnacle Restaurant had been located there for many years. Weddings Marketed through Niagara Fallsview Weddings, the tower chapel provides fully serviced weddings including consultants, cake and flowers, an officiant, and photography.
