Take in the grandeur of Basilica Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. Go to a mass if you can or simply take a seat and appreciate the tranquility.

Basilica Cathedral of St. John the Baptist is an interesting place to begin discovering Downtown St. John's. This principal church comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other sights like Memorial University of Newfoundland, The Rooms, and Avalon Mall to get a complete picture of what's on offer in the area.

Location is excellent. This hotel is on the waterfront, just steps from the pedestrian areas of Water Street and George Street, which are full of shops and restaurants. The hotel is a historic building, full of character, but with modern amenities. We enjoyed the live music nightly in the courtyard. Breakfast was adequate - muffins, croissants, etc. Easy to get to and free parking. Rooms above the third floor are accessible by stair only. We enjoyed our 2 night stay here.
