Prince Arthur Waterfront Hotel & Suites - A historic waterfront property with lake views and conference facilities in Thunder Bay's Waterfront District

Situated at the heart of the Waterfront District, this 2-star Thunder Bay hotel dates back to 1911, offering direct views of Lake Superior and Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. Prince Arthur Waterfront Hotel features 121 rooms equipped with Wi-Fi, refrigerators, and coffee makers, while upgraded suites include jacuzzi tubs and separate living areas. The Portside Restaurant serves steak and seafood dishes, and the Lounge Bar offers pub fare and afternoon tea service. The property contains 7000 square feet of convention space and provides complimentary airport transfers to Thunder Bay International Airport, located 9.5 miles away. Marina Park's splash pad, playgrounds, and sailing facilities are within a 5-minute walk from the Prince Arthur.

Pros

Historic significance as the birthplace of the Remembrance Day poppy tradition

Complimentary airport shuttle service

All rooms include free Wi-Fi and mini-refrigerators

On-site parking at no additional cost

Cons

9.5 miles distance from Thunder Bay International Airport

Some standard rooms lack microwave facilities

“While a bit dated, this property has an unbeatable advantage: it's directly across from Prince Arthur Landing, giving you instant access to the waterfront, and it's close to popular spots like The Prospector Steakhouse. The friendly staff adds to the appeal, and a security presence in the lobby provides peace of mind. For a no-frills stay in a prime spot, it warrants consideration.”
