Situated between Lake Superior and Duluth Harbor Basin, this waterfront hotel is nestled at the foot of the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge. Free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV are provided in every guest room. All waterfront suites at South Pier Inn have private balconies, which provide the opportunity for our guests to look eye-to-eye with ships captains, as international vessels enter the harbor under the Aerial Lift Bridge. A refrigerator and tea and coffee-making amenities are also provided in each room. Guests can enjoy a walk or enjoy a sunset from the private 400 foot shoreline path at South Pier Inn. A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning. Duluth Entertainment Convention Center, located across the harbor, is less than one mile away.
