A Fabulous Urban Getaway to Saint John

August 18, 2020


Have you been looking for the ultimate urban getaway? Then look no further, I’ve found the most perfect spot for you to take your next vacation.  Saint John always held a special place in my heart.  As a kid, we used to go there every March Break for my brother’s hockey tournament, it was so much fun and I would impatiently wait for this trip every year.  But visiting Saint John as an adult is a completely different experience.  It’s still magical but just in a much more mature way.  When Discover Saint John reached out for me to go and explore Saint John I was so excited because Saint John in the summer on the waterfront is the most beautiful spot and every single time I get to go there my love for this incredible city grows a little more.    

When I found out we were staying at the Hilton I couldn’t wait!  See, the Hilton is attached to Market Square and any hotel that is attached to a mall is beyond incredible in my books.  Over the past few years, I have, luckily, gotten to stay at the Hilton Saint John numerous times and am consistently very happy with this hotel.  They always give 5-star service and make you feel so special!  The Hilton is right on the water and it’s just a beautiful hotel with stunning rooms and awe-worthy views.  Let me just say that the Hilton went above and beyond to make us feel at home!  They upgraded us to a King room with a beautiful waterfront view and left some yummy treats for us to enjoy while we were there!  Also, since the restaurant isn’t open at this time, they made sure we had breakfast delivered right to our room every morning.  How sweet is that?! And just to make you feel extra special they communicate with their guests through text to make sure you have everything you need and it makes it so easy and accessible. 

I’m a fashion blogger and wardrobe stylist from Canada. I love all things fashion and adore sharing my fashion ramblings with the world! I believe a truly perfect outfit is a piece of art and I love striving to make my own works of art through clothes!

Fashionably Yours,

Historic Saint John. Still Awesome.

July 23, 2020


CMT

Take in our historic architecture, step back to the time of our earliest settlers and immerse yourself in Saint John's history. 

Self-Guided Historic Walking Tours

Decals

Discover the history of Canada's first incorporated city (est. 1785). We offer three self-guided walking tours featuring architecture, dignitaries, industry and more - it's all there. Plan for approximately 90-minutes per tour or mix and match. Keep your eyes peeled for decals highlighting points of interest along the route.

Saint John City Market

Market

Head to the oldest continuing farmers market in Canada, built in 1876. Before big chain stores and malls hit the city, the market was the hub for all produce and meat in the area. You can still see evidence of this by the hooks on the centre stalls. Today the City Market is the perfect spot to grab fresh meats and produce, the best fish and chips, handmade crafts and a great cup of coffee.

Historic Forts With A View

CMT

Visit historic Carleton Martello Tower (a National Historic Site) built for the War of 1812. You will enjoy incredible views of the Saint John harbour and Partridge Island. Or head to Fort Howe (a National Historic Site), constructed in 1777, for another great vantage point - and don’t forget a Saint John Sign selfie!

New Brunswick Museum

NBM

Visit the New Brunswick Museum, Canada's oldest continuing museum (its lineage can be traced back to 1842), and discover New Brunswick’s art, history and nature on two floors of fully accessible galleries. Hear whale songs, view the Tidal Tower, and talk to welcoming interpreters offering interactive activities that will introduce you to our province’s forestry, military and shipbuilding roots.

Historic Happy Hour
