About this property
Superior Suite w/ Jacuzzi & Sauna
The historic home of shipping and grain baron George G. Barnum was built in 1910. The home was built large enough to showcase art collected by Mr Barnum as he traveled the world, and accommodate the friends he acquired along his storied lifetime. With an eye on the historical features of both the house and man, this one of a kind location has undergone a dramatic transformation to become a luxury boutique hotel. The GG Barnum combines its rustic Northern Minnesota history with modern amenities for an authentic and unforgettable stay in the Zenith City. Situated on a dead-end street adjoining Oregon Creek in the quiet Congdon mansion neighborhood, The GG Barnum Boutique Hotel is equally suited for business or pleasure.
A stay in the Superior Suite is an experience to remember. This suite is a third floor walkup suite and has been beautifully remodeled to showcase all the character of this one of a kind location. This suite is the epitome of moody elegance and sophistication with the carefully cultivated design being perfectly offset by a stunning lake view. The state of the art Samsung Picture Frame SmartTV that displays beautiful works of art, wet bar, fireplace, spacious bathroom, and jetted bathtub (in room) make this space not just a place to stay but a destination all its own. The room includes a king size beds and a sofa bed though a set of french doors just off the main room with a bit more privacy, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and access to Netflix for your comfort and convenience.
Venture out of your private space and enjoy the shared living areas, grab a game for some play time, pull a book from our custom built book shelf for a little down time, or just spend quality time with your traveling companion. The living and dining areas feature a beautiful grand piano, large dining space, and plenty of places to sit and relax. Our favorite spot, and one of the more remarkable areas of the home, is the three season, impeccably decorated, enclosed porch, make sure to spend a little time here (this is a 3 season space and is not heated in the winter months). There are so many beautiful spaces for you to enjoy you may just find yourselves staying in for your vacation.

Beautiful house!
Beautiful house, great room. Was fun to stay in such an historic house; it was like staying in a museum! Clean, and well- kept. Wish the breakfast offerings would have been a little better, but that's not what we chose this place for.

Elegant Comfort and Quiet
We had a lovely stay in the Superior Suite for our anniversary. The mansion is simply gorgeous, and the quiet relaxation provided was so needed. I am thrilled we picked this boutique hotel over the hustle and bustle of Canal Park!

The Superior Suite was more than we expected for our night in Duluth. Large, clean, tastefully decorated and the beds were extremely comfortable.
We look forward to visiting again.

Visiting Duluth
First of all this is not a two bedroom. It is a one bathroom, one bed, one wall ac unit, with glass doors leading into room with one bed (no privacy here) and one chair. Being at at the top of the house, means very hot and one ac unit the size of a beach towel rolled up is not sufficient. I talked to Maria (property host), who told me it was a 2 bedroom (plenty of privacy) with each bedroom with it's own AC & Heat controls = not true. I mean what are you going to do; you arrive and climb three flights of stairs to this .... So, we just left our bags and left and came back at 10pm to go to bed and the next morning at 5am we left the .... What a waste of money and time. If they would have just told the truth we would never have stayed there.
