We don’t take it lightly that we have been voted the “Best Place to Stay in Duluth” on multiple occasions. We are proud to see guests come back to stay at our resort each year, recommending us to their friends and family, and telling us why they love to stay with us! Here are a few of the reasons why, that we hear about most frequently, that vacationers decide to stay with us during summer in Duluth.

Festival Season Headquarters

We love that Bayfront Festival Park is our neighbor – and our guests do too! While it puts you in a front row view of the Bentleyville lights during the holiday months, the lake-front lawn is also bustling with concerts, art shows, and brew events during the summer! Stroll across our slip bridge to be in the middle of the action or take it in from our harbor lawn for a bit of a more spacious viewing experience! 

Some of our guests’ favorite Bayfront annual summer events include Rock the Bayfront during Grandma’s Marathon weekend, Duluth’s Fourth Fest, Bayfront Blues Festival, Art in Bayfront Park, and Oktoberfestival. Check out the entire summer calendar here!

Location, Location, Location

Being located in the heart of Duluth attractions, nestled right on the greatest Great Lake makes us the perfect homebase for guests wanting to fill their getaway up with adventures and sightseeing. Our property provides grand views of the Aerial Lift Bridge from the sprawling lawn as well as our harborside rooms – so you can watch the ships navigate their way in and out of our port. You can also navigate your way to our on-site restaurant, Silos for waterfront dining and drinks!

Booking a stay at Pier B puts you minutes from the most awe-inspiring hiking trails and overlooks, adrenaline pumping biking trails, relaxing craft breweries, as well as local and visitor favorite restaurants. Summer is the prime season to ride, walk, or drive the short trek to Canal Park and the Lakewalk to meander all the small shops and eateries that make Duluth, well, Duluth!

On-site Activities

Our 7.4 acres of land is the place to be on summer days in Duluth. As mentioned, our lake view is the perfect backdrop for your afternoon full of lawn games or a pick-up game of basketball or pickleball on our Sport Court. Our front desk is happy to help you with a bike, pedal cart, or electric scooter rental and can get you rolling in the right direction. Feel like taking it easy? Get cozy during sunset at one of our firepits!

Want to hit the water? We offer paddleboards, paddle boats, and water bikes for rent to use in our slip. Or head across the lift bridge to Park Point to enjoy some swimming in Lake Superior, sand volleyball, and a BBQ!

The list of summer fun goes on and on here in Duluth, however don’t just take our word for it. Book your next vacation with us and see first hand why travelers fall in love with a stay at Pier B and find your new favorite sunny activity on Lake Superior to tell us about!

Spring has begun and we are excited to see more sun than snow in our forecast! For those planning a stay during the great thaw in Duluth, expect to see some ice shifting in the harbor, greener trails and parks, and some fresh new experiences to enjoy with your travel buddies. Don’t know where to start? Check out our Spring Weekend Itinerary for some ideas! 
 
Day 1: 
 
Late Morning: 
 
Check in here at Pier B is at 4PM, so if you make it into town before your room is ready, head over to Fitger’s, pick up a coffee or nummy beverage off of Yellow Bike’s energizing menu, and do some local shopping. Some of our favorite must-stop shops are Duluth Kitchen Co for some fun gadgets and unique snacks, Trail Fitters for any outdoor gear you adventure seekers may have forgotten at home, Whimsy for fun Duluthy children’s items, and the bookstore at Fitgers for a relaxing read. 
Afternoon:
 
After checking in and checking out your home for the next few days, make your way out to the trails for a hike along some of Duluth’s most beautiful wilderness spots including some tranquil waterfalls (take your pick…and pics!), breathtaking overlooks, and enchanting woods. Some of our recommendations include Chester Bowl, Tischer Creek, and Ely’s Point. Remember: Spring can last longer here, so be mindful of trail conditions and be flexible (or muddy) if needed. 
Late Afternoon:
 
After your first day of adventuring, kick up your heels, refresh, and grab a pint from one of our favorite watering holes. Wander over to Wild State Cider, Ursa Minor, Bent Paddle – or all three! Seriously, everything in the Lincoln Park Craft District is great! 
Evening:
 
Speaking of which, if you stick around that area for some dinner, enjoy a meal at OMC Smokehouse or Duluth Grill for a local favorite dining experience. If they are still open for the evening, there are also numerous cute shops to walk to and check out to find some treasures to take home. 
Late Evening:
 
End the evening at Silos Bar – located right here at Pier B! We serve a variety of signature craft cocktails that pair perfecting with the lit up view of Duluth’s harbor. Then, prep for another day of adventure with an evening hot tub to relax and rejuvenate. 
Day 2:
 
Morning
 
Take your time waking up and slowly grab a cup of coffee at Duluth Coffee Company with a morning stroll along Lake Superior. Then enjoy a light breakfast at Silos Restaurant. Stay on-site and get outside for some fresh air and fresh views with a dip in our hot tub overlooking the harbor or just roam around our spacious property to breathe in the (warmer yet still crisp) fresh air we’ve been longing for so long. Check out the ship schedule and see if you can catch one of the lakers coming through. 
Afternoon
 
In the afternoon, visit one (or a couple) of Duluth’s educational and inspiring attractions. Take a tour of the beautiful Glensheen Mansion, the historic Maritime Museum, or the informative Great Lakes Aquarium. Read more about a few of these attractions in our past blog Spring Break in Duluth. 
Evening
 
When dinner time rolls around, head back to Silos for dishes from land and sea. (Book your reservation while booking your Pier B room so you don’t have to worry about it during your stay!) For dessert take the short walk over to Canal Park for a sweet treat at Love Creamery. If time permits, there may even be a local comedy show or play you can catch at the Duluth Playhouse/NorShore Theatre or Zeitgeist! 
Day 3: 
 
Morning
 
Before a long trip home, rise with the sun for a stroll back to Canal Park to stretch your legs and enjoy views of the lake. Check off another Midwest staple from your bucket list and visit Caribou Coffee for energy to come back and pack after a great weekend.

This upcoming April we are partying with Tug, our Pier B Ambassador, for his fifth birthday!  In celebration, Tug wanted us to create the perfect Duluth stay itinerary for the big day (and month!) and offer a sweet 30% off lodging deal all April long!
 

As a dog-friendly hotel, we are so happy to be located in a city that loves dogs just as much as we do! Indoor and outdoor adventures alike welcome our furry best friends to join, knowing that the best memories are made with the entire family. Check out some of these great locations the next time you stay at Pier B with your doggos! 

Explore Duluth’s Great Outdoors
Duluth offers numerous hiking, site-seeing, playing, and sniffing outdoor spaces for pups to roam around. Take a stroll along the Superior Hiking trail, the Lakewalk, or Park Point beach – all favorites for humans and canines alike. Or, let your dog check out one of the area’s off-leash dog parks (visit https://www.duluthdogparks.com/)! Morning, midday, or evening, our city offers exciting options to be explored. 
Patio Pups
Just as we all love a nice, relaxing patio to enjoy a meal, drink, or favorite snack – they also happen to be one Tug’s favorite places to hang out (and we are sure your dog’s too!). As you wander Duluth, endless options await you: Canal Park Brewing, Sir Ben’s, Hoops, At Sara’s Table Chester Creek Cafe, Love Creamery and 190 Coffee are just a few spanning Duluth that we, and Tug, recommend. 
Shop ‘til You Drop
Did you really visit Duluth if you didn’t check out the local small shops and businesses? Most are also dog-friendly! Stop in to see what is new at Frost RIver, Free Air Life, Dewitt Seitz, or Enger Lofts Marketplace. Dog-favorites like Matilda’s Dog Bakery and A Place for Fido even cater to pups themselves (literally!). 
 
When the puppies need a break from a day meandering the city, Pier B offers plenty of space to rest, roam, and play. Enjoy the sun on our harbor lawn and visit the Tug’s Bud’s Nook for special doggy gifts! Then, while the humans are away for a dog-free dinner at Silos Restaurant, the pups can relax in your comfortable guest room. 
Tug and our team here at Pier B love meeting your four-legged family members when staying with us – and hope to see them with you during your next visit! Plan your Duluth getaway now at PierBResort.com! 
As the snow begins to melt in Duluth (don’t worry, contrary to what people think, the cold and snow don’t really stick around here forever) and new buds begin to bloom, we offer a perfect getaway destination for your Spring Break travels. Here are a few of the sights, experiences, and memories we recommend during your next Duluth stay. 
 
Watch Canal Park Melt
 
Take a stroll on the Lakewalk as the snow melts and clears right in front of you. Stop at the small shops, restaurants, and museums along the way to see what is new in Duluth – in addition to the fresh blooms and warmth of the changing season!
Aerial Lift Bridge and Park Point
 
Cross the iconic Aerial Lift Bridge and walk along the longest fresh water sand bar in the world while watching the frozen Lake Superior thaw on a warm day. Typically packed in the summer months, spring is a great time to take in the view and the waves with minimal company. While the water may still be too cold to wade into, order lunch to-go at a local Canal Park Restaurant (or Silos Restaurant at Pier B!) and enjoy a picnic outside!
Not your Typical Sledding Adventure
 
Spend some time with man’s best friend while you learn from an experienced musher and dog sled team before heading out on the trails at Endurance Kennels. Duluth’s long snow season allows extended time into the spring with these beautiful pups. Bucket list item – check
Pub Crawl 
 
Duluth has a plethora of options when it comes to the craft brewing scene. Whether you enjoy beer, ciders, or spirits – local businesses are sure to have your new favorite beverage! While taste testing, order some food and choose a seat on a patio for a perfect Duluth afternoon. 
Great Lakes Aquarium 
 
When “fake spring” hits and Duluth gets another colder day in the middle of expected sun and warmth, we recommend heading inside and checking out the Great Lakes Aquarium. With interactive experiences for all ages, the entire family will enjoy the displays and even learn a bit about the Great Lakes and all that lives within them! Explore hands-on activities, live animal exhibits, iconic overlooks of the Duluth harbor, and more! 
Glensheen Mansion
 
For another breathtaking indoor experience, tour the historic Glensheen Mansion. See how the Congdon family lived – featuring original furniture, portraits, and other items that made this house their home. Then, head outside to explore the beautiful 12-acre estate nestled on the edge of Lake Superior. 
After a day of spring sightseeing, come back to Pier B for a relaxing evening. Enjoy the warmth of our outdoor hot tub, watch the ships navigate in and out of the harbor while cozying up to a fire pit on our spacious lawn, and sip on a craft cocktail at Silos Restaurant. Then, wake up refreshed and renewed for another day in Duluth.

Book your Pier B getaway by calling 218-481-8888 or book now. We hope to see you soon! 

Often, vacations are planned with a schedule packed full of sightseeing, event attending, and timelines to watch. Other times, getaways should be just that – time to get away from the busyness of life. Enjoying the quieter moments in life during time away from the normal hustle and bustle of life is made possible with a stay at Pier B. 
 
 
Making Room for Comfort
 
From classic lodging to family suites and patio rooms, we provide a relaxing atmosphere, modern decor, and unheard-of amenities for a rejuvenating stay. While our rooms are beautiful, the views outside your window of ships voyaging in and out of the Duluth Harbor through the historic Aerial Lift Bridge or the sun setting behind Duluth’s majestic hillside will leave you in awe.
 
Not your Typical Hotel Sauna
 
Traditional Nordic Saunas have been providing de-stressing and refreshing experiences for centuries – and we are lucky enough to have Cedar and Stone Nordic Sauna located right on our property. Guests can book a guided authentic experience, being led through the practice of hot, cold, rest, rehydrate, and repeat. Paired with the gorgeous panoramic view overlooking Lake Superior, your endorphins will thank you.
Harboring Relaxing Vibes
 
Amenities expand past our four walls and one of our favorite places to sit back and relax is outside on our Harbor Lawn. Our outdoor hot tub and cozy fire pits are perfect for soaking up the harbor view while winding down from a day of gently exploring the Northland. Ask for a s’more making kit at our front desk or enjoy a beverage from the bar at Silos. 
Silos Restaurant & Bar
 
Speaking of on-site refreshments, Silos Restaurant & Bar features breathtaking views and a menu to match! Enjoy a delicious steak cooked over our wood fire or a mouth-watering selection from our seafood section. Sip on one of our craft cocktails or exquisite wines, paired flawlessly with any menu item. 
 
Stroll Along Local Trails
 
Duluth’s trails include numerous scenic treasures and hidden gems that are perfect for meandering and exploring at your leisure. Once you’ve taken in a piece (and peace) of nature, head on back for some continued R&R.
If You Need an Occasion to Get Away…
 
The romance of Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Treat yourself and your significant other to some much needed time away and pampering. Savor a romantic menu at Silos, reminisce and laugh around the fire on the harbor lawn, and slow time down to fall in love even more. 
 
So, we invite you to a relaxing and refreshing stay here with us at Pier B. Come and Become Rejuvenated.
