When You Approach North Bay…

It’s the home of truly northern experiences since 1884. And we’re proud to share it with the world. Welcome to North Bay, The Gateway to the North.

ACCOMMODATIONS
Stay and Play in North Bay, Today!
Regardless of whether you spent your day sledding or shopping – even if you spent it laying on the beach all day or ice fishing on Lake Nipissing – you want a place to rest your head that is nearby, comfortable, and well-priced. Here, you can choose a North Bay Hotel – attention to detail and most specifically, you – or in a North Bay Motel: your chance to sleep well and save your trip budget to explore every other part of this city. We even have cottages, lodges, and accommodations you may not have considered like the Canadore College Residences. Perfect for families and groups to enjoy lots of space – and a kitchen!
