Located in a 1924 historic building that once housed the Superior Court of Justice, this Thunder Bay hotel features 40 rooms combining historic character with modern amenities.

Many rooms provide views of Lake Superior and the Sleeping Giant. The property's centerpiece is a stately ballroom with 22-foot ceilings, featuring a natural stage, music booth, and bar areas that can accommodate up to 180 guests. Guests have access to a 24-hour fitness center, continental breakfast, and a picnic area.

Ballroom features unique layout with natural stage and music booth

Complimentary continental breakfast included

Located on a hilltop with harbor and Lake Superior views

Cons

Limited on-site dining options

“The building's history as a courthouse lends this property a particular character, and its location puts guests within walking distance of restaurants and the waterfront. Rooms are spacious and well-appointed, making it a comfortable home base. I noted its ballroom, with soaring 22-foot ceilings, would be appropriate for events both large and small.”
