Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge

Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge is one of the National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World. The lodge sits on the shore of Hudson Bay, with Canada’s Boreal Forest directly behind it. The surrounding ecosystem supports polar bears, black bears, wolves, and moose, and animals regularly pass close to the property. A fence encloses the lodge compound, so guests can watch wildlife and the northern lights from inside the grounds. The layout centers on a main dining room and lounge, with two guest wings connected to it. After a day on the tundra, guests gather in the lounge for informative presentations by the lodge guides. Electricity runs 24 hours a day through a combination of solar power, natural gas, and wood heat.

Rooms & Suites
The lodge has eight guest rooms in queen, king, twin, and family configurations, split between two guest wings connected to the main dining room and lounge. Every room has its own en-suite washroom. Each guest wing has a sitting area overlooking Hudson Bay. Electricity is available around the clock, and satellite Wi-Fi is available on the property.

Hotel Amenities & Facilities
The main building has a dining room and a common area with a fireplace. The lodge serves all meals on a full-service basis. Guests have access to a library and a gift shop, and the outdoor viewing tower and decks are used for watching wildlife and the northern lights from within the fenced compound. Communication is through satellite Wi-Fi and a radio/telephone.
