Fitger's Inn: for entertainment and craft beer

Courtesy of Fitger's Inn / Hotels.com
Converted from the 1885 Fitger’s Brewery, this hotel has a glorious lakeside location. All rooms are individually styled – some with bare brick walls and crimson armchairs, others with padded headboards and ye olde prints of historic Duluth. The whirlpool suites offer big baths-with-jets, plus city or lake views, and some have balconies overlooking Lake Superior. Romance your sweetie by the fireplace in the extra-large penthouse suite. You won’t be short on other entertainment here, either: there’s an entire mall of options, from the onsite micro-brewery where you can drink Fitger’s pale ale, to the Crank and Dasher ice cream parlor, to jazz bands at Rex Nightclub and signature whiskey cocktails at The Barrel Room.
