As winter begins to fade and early signs of spring arrive, March offers a quiet window to slow down and reset. At The Scotsman Hotel, it’s a peaceful time to visit Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL) before the pace picks up and the town enters full bloom.
Whether you're planning a weekend away or simply need a change of scenery, March is a great time to experience the region without the crowds. With added value and a quieter town, it’s one of the best-kept secrets of the season.
Why March Works So Well
March in NOTL is calm and unhurried. The shops are open, the streets are walkable, and you’ll have time to enjoy things at your own pace. You can browse a few boutiques, stop for lunch by the fire, or take a walk along the water with hardly anyone around.
At the hotel, that same sense of ease carries through. Our suites are warm and inviting, and the service is always thoughtful. It’s the kind of trip where you can genuinely unwind.

Comfortable Suites for a Slower Season
This time of year is ideal for cozy mornings and early nights in. Each of our rooms is designed with comfort in mind, from plush bedding and soaking tubs to in-room coffee and fireplace ambiance.
You can start your day slowly, take your time getting ready, or spend the afternoon reading by the window. Some guests choose to explore the town, while others simply enjoy a quiet day indoors.
If you’re looking for a dinner spot or something to do nearby, our concierge is happy to help.
Things to Do in Early Spring
Even before the main season begins, there’s plenty to enjoy in and around NOTL:
1. Winery Visits
Local wineries are beginning to reopen, and tastings this time of year tend to be more relaxed. You’ll often have more time to chat with staff and enjoy a quieter experience.
2. Spa and Wellness
March is a good time for a bit of self-care. If you’re interested in a massage or spa visit, we can help connect you with one of our local partners.
3. Dining Indoors
Restaurants stay cozy in March, with fireplaces and hearty seasonal menus. It’s easier to get a table, and the atmosphere feels more relaxed.
4. Simple Exploring
A walk along the lake or through town offers just enough fresh air to clear your head. It’s also a great time to discover a new bookshop, gallery, or café without the rush.
