    Nice walking path along Lake Superior. We came up from Minneapolis early to beat the rush and it was windy and cool walking into the wind. The waves were breaking against the rocks and only a few runn...  more »

Where to stay in Duluth

©
Canal Park and the downtown areas offer a full range of lodging, including tower hotels, national-chain motels, inns, and bed and breakfasts. For a more scenic stay, book accommodation with views of Lake Superior. Staying in Canal Park or downtown puts you within easy reach of numerous restaurants, shops, and attractions, but you should also consider bedding down in the historical area east of Chester Park. Many of the inns and bed and breakfasts here occupy turn-of-the-century mansions, and the neighborhood itself offers a quiet respite from busy downtown and Canal Park.
