Rosli Hotel – The Rosli Hotel was located on Bridge Street at Cataract Avenue, between the Elgin House and Windsor Hotel. It was built in 1856 by Gaspard Rosli, who came to Canada from Switzerland in 1855. The hotel was destroyed by fire in 1869 and rebuilt; this structure is sometimes referred to as the "New Rosli." With its 21 rooms, the Rosli Hotel was considered to be the "coziest and most homelike hotel in Niagara Falls." It was called the Rosli Hotel until 1928, after which point it was known as the McAllister Hotel (after the then owner, W. C. McAllister), the Bridge Hotel, and the Munshaw. It was known as the Royal Inn Hotel from 1936, until November 30, 1995, when the hotel was heavily damaged by a fire which caused $500,000 worth of damage to the building. The building has since been demolished.
