Hotels in Newfoundland, Canada
Newfoundland and Labrador is where the continent ends and unique adventures begin. Known for its distinct dialect, the province is a dramatic blend of rugged natural beauty, vibrant culture, and deep-rooted history. The province is legendary for its hospitality and quirky traditions; like the "Screech-In" ceremony when visitors become honorary Newfoundlanders by taking a shot of local rum and kissing a codfish. The oldest English-founded city in North America serves as its capital. St. John’s is best known for "Jellybean Row", the iconic downtown area characterized by its brightly painted Victorian-era row houses, a lively music scene, and historic harbor views from Signal Hill.
Visitors can explore the 1,000-year-old Viking settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows; the glacier-carved fjords of Western Brook Pond; and 10,000-year-old glaciers of "Iceberg Alley" drifting past the coastline.
In winter, the province becomes a snowy playground for world-class snowmobiling, skiing and snowboarding, while summer brings hiking in provincial parks like Gros Morne National Park, whale watching, puffin spotting, and lively folk festivals.
The province also proudly reflects the cultures of Indigenous peoples such as the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, the Innu Nation, and the Mi’kmaq, whose traditions and stories remain an essential part of Newfoundland and Labrador’s identity today.
