Ryan Mansion
The spirit of Newfoundland & Labrador comes alive in its vibrant capital, St. John’s, a city where rolling hills are crowned with candy-colored houses, and every street seems to whisper stories from the North Atlantic, including the legend of the Titanic. After all, Newfoundland’s coast lies closest to the ship’s final resting place.
For a stay that blends local history with a touch of Titanic-era glamour, check into Ryan Mansion. This boutique inn, built between 1909 and 1911 (around the same time the Titanic was constructed) features a striking Grand Staircase crafted by the same artisans behind the one aboard the iconic liner. It’s a one-of-a-kind retreat you should check out.
