The Tower Hotel,[1] opened in 1962, is located in the Fallsview district of Niagara Falls, Ontario and was the first of the contemporary observation towers built near the brink of the Falls. It features an indoor observation deck, restaurant, and hotel.[citation needed] The tower is 99 metres (325 feet) tall above street level and 160 metres (520 feet) above the falls.[citation needed] The tower assumed its present name in 2010 as a result of its most recent renovation;[citation needed] as Minolta was the longest-tenured sponsor of the building, tourists and locals may still call it the Minolta Tower.
