The Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland sits at 115 Cavendish Square in downtown St. John's, with the harbour in front and the historic streets within walking distance. Marriott's page for the hotel mentions nearby Signal Hill National Historic Site, The Rooms, George Street nightlife and waterfront trails, and it advertises harbour views from the guestrooms and suites. The property offers a complimentary indoor pool and whirlpool, a complimentary fitness centre with cardio equipment and weights, and a restaurant called Bivver serving locally inspired Newfoundland cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is a classic city hotel in feel, polished and reliable, and it suits visitors who want comfort and convenience over boutique character.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the downtown core, so you can walk to Water Street, Duckworth Street, George Street and the harbour front in a few minutes. Signal Hill and The Rooms are close enough for a taxi or a steady walk, and the airport is a short drive away, although the hotel does not run an airport shuttle. For Cape Spear, Quidi Vidi and the boat tours at Bay Bulls you will want a rental car, a taxi or a guided tour, all of which are easy to arrange from downtown.
The rooms and the feel
Guestrooms and suites are described as spacious, and many look out over the harbour, which is the main reason to pay for a view room. The hotel is large and well equipped, with an indoor pool and a whirlpool for tired legs after a hike on the coast and a fitness centre for early risers. Bivver, the on-site restaurant, gives you a convenient place to try local dishes without leaving the building, and the lounge atmosphere is relaxed rather than flashy.
Who it suits and what to know: it is a good fit for first-time visitors, business travellers and families who want a recognisable chain with a strong location. Parking is available on site and is charged by the hour or the day, with off-site options nearby, so compare costs if you are driving. Ask for a harbour-facing room when you book, check which rooms have the best outlook and note that downtown streets can be lively on weekend nights, so request a higher floor if you want quiet.
