St. Jonn's Reviews

Elaine's comments:
The Argentia Suite is named for the community in Placentia Bay that served as the mercantile capital for the fishing industry within that bay. But Argentia was to become more prominent than that. In 1942, seeking an ice free port closer to Europe, the U.S. government took a 99 year lease for what was to become home to the largest number of U.S. military naval air men and women and their families outside of the U.S. The base closed in the mid-60s.

People often ask me why I don’t have a typical Newfoundland accent. I tell them I do! I speak like a Newfoundlander who grew up next to all those American military families!

The Argentia was a find within the house – literally. When I purchased the house – it was a small closet with a wonderful pine set of drawers. We knew it was much larger, because the outside structure indicated substantially more floor space. My kids used to joke that maybe the unopened space is where the ghosts hid!

We took out the walls, found 15 more linear feet, added a great dormer and the result is a marvelous, multi angled, charming suite. And no ghosts. Or none that show themselves to me!

You will find the Argentia one of our more conservative experiences – no frills, but equally romantic with quality, leather furniture, fireplace and a deep soaker tub in a mirrored setting. The soaker was my choice -- I like the fact that you do not have to turn off the jets to speak!

The Argentia has become a favorite for corporate clients looking for all the comforts of a St. John's boutique hotel or inn,…and for those who like to celebrate in a contemporary and luxurious setting.
