50 Best Hotels in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Background Illustration for Hotels

Most hotels in Newfoundland are casual, friendly, and with the kind of amenities, standards, and room styles you’d expect elsewhere in North America. Wi-Fi is widespread, and you won’t have to search hard to find a room with a view. Recognizable brands, Sheraton, Marriott, Ramada, and Holiday Inn among them, do business in St. John's, in historic buildings or standard modern structures. Lodgings outside the city are more varied. You’ll find motels, bed-and-breakfasts, timber-frame lodges, inns comprised of one or more heritage houses, and all kinds of rental properties. There’s also the unique Fogo Island Inn, a cutting-edge architectural marvel atop a rugged cliff on a remote offshore island .

To experience Newfoundland's world-renowned hospitality close up, try to spend at least one night in a bed-and-breakfast. You'll likely be treated to a wonderful home-cooked breakfast, and you'll probably leave feeling like family. B&B owners here are very knowledgeable about their areas and are often generous with advice and directions, which may enhance your travels as well. Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism provides general information about the province's lodgings.
