North Star

North Star is the new name for the recently renovated Point of View Suites in Louisbourg, Cape Breton Island. Situated on a peninsula overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Louisbourg Harbour, the hotel was remodelled this year by Scottish designers Colin and Justin to create a range of suites and rooms that offer a unique connection to the wonders of this coastal region. Many of the rooms enjoy spectacular ocean views and vistas of the world-famous Fortress of Louisbourg.

The hotel restaurant offers a choice of fresh local cuisine and its Saturday and Sunday brunch have become a legend in their own lunchtime! There’s also a stylish bar with regular live music performances.

The hotel’s twelve suites offer ocean views, and most have a compact kitchen, making them ideal for longer stays.  All the rooms have been redesigned for 2022 and have queen beds, cable television, free internet, hairdryers, fridges and microwaves.

The hotel is located within walking distance of the Louisbourg Playhouse where you can enjoy Cape Breton music, live theatre and dance.  It’s also ideally placed to explore miles of rugged Atlantic coast hiking trails, bracing rocky coves and dramatic ocean waves. Take time on quiet unspoilt beaches to relax and contemplate, or enjoy the rocky coastline as you connect with nature and watch seabirds circling the celebrated Louisbourg Lighthouse. And don’t miss a visit to the historic Fortress of Louisbourg, a restored French fortification that’s highly ‘Instagrammable’ and offers visitors a unique chance to step back in time and enjoy the lifestyle, homes and cuisine of the 18th Century.
