WHERE TO STAY

The brand new boutique Alt Hotel St. John’s was built from 90 room modules stacked like chic Lego bricks at the harbour’s edge, on Water Street. The touchpad-controlled rooms and lobby are photogenic and artsy-modern, service is exemplary, and the city’s best restaurants, live Newfoundland music, boutiques and even seaside hikes are minutes away by foot. althotels.com/stjohns
