A Shaw Festival Luxury Getaway: Theatre, Wine & The Scotsman Hotel

Plan a fun trip to Niagara‑on‑the‑Lake (NOTL). Watch world‑class plays at the Shaw Festival and relax in five‑star comfort at The Scotsman Hotel.  

Timing tip

The historic Royal George Theatre closes after the 2025 season for a major rebuild. Other Shaw stages—like the flagship Festival Theatre—will keep the shows running, so theatre fans can visit every year. Set to bid a fond farewell in 2025, the Shaw Festival’s dazzling Spiegeltent returns for one final season of unforgettable performances. This mirrored tent once again becomes a stage for eclectic theatre and immersive entertainment—a last-chance celebration of its singular charm.

Why See the Shaw Festival

• Lots of choice: Each season the Shaw presents more than 10 plays from sparkling comedies to thought-provoking dramas and lavish musicals, across three intimate stages.

• Small venues: Every seat feels close to the stage.  

• Extra fun: Backstage tours and actor talks make you feel like an insider.

Insider tip: Tickets sell quickly on peak summer weekends. Let The Scotsman’s concierge secure prime seats before you arrive so the only drama you encounter is on stage.
