About Hotel Boreal

Hotel Boreal started out with two friends and a dream. Originally opened in 1896 by Dr. Joseph Budd, the historic Budd Hospital has been a Two Harbors community fixture for over a century. With the goal of bringing the building back to life and preserving as much history as possible, we reopened the Budd Hospital as Hotel Boreal in the fall of 2026. This 21-room boutique hotel is a blend of Minnesota vintage charm and European B&B vibes with rooms designed to capture the spirit of the North Shore. Facing Lake Superior and Agate Bay and 3 blocks from the popular Castle Danger Brewery, this boutique hotel is the perfect jumping-off point for exploring one of the most beautiful areas in the Midwest.
