Fodor's Expert Review Hilton Saint John

This stunning hotel is sleek and very stylish, with open-aspect public areas flooded with natural light, spacious rooms, and an unbeatable city-center waterfront location. A huge bonus in winter is the fact that it's linked to downtown shops, businesses, restaurants, sports venues, and the adjacent conference center via the city's indoor walkway. Guest rooms include comfortable beds and plenty of amenities, and all have great city or harbor views. The contemporary pub, overlooking the waterfront and open all day, offers both sophisticated dining and casual fare—all based on local ingredients—and has a great summer patio.
