Grant's Arctic Escape

Welcome to our Arctic Escape in Iqaluit! Picture yourself in a serene haven with stunning views of the tundra and Hudson Bay, nestled in the latest developed neighborhood. Our retreat offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Imagine waking up to the untouched beauty of the tundra right outside your window, or savoring the panoramic vistas of Silvia Grinnell Park and the snow-capped peaks from the comfort of our spacious living room.

Convenience is at your doorstep, with easy access to the Nunavut hospital, Arctic College, government offices, and downtown core within walking distance or a short taxi ride. Nature enthusiasts will love exploring the Geraldine lake walking trail and nearby tundra lakes, where you can indulge in berry picking during the summer and witness the mesmerizing dance of the northern lights in fall, winter, or spring.

As hosts, we prioritize your comfort and privacy at Grant's Arctic Escape. Our easy-going and adaptable nature ensures that you have the freedom to enjoy your stay on your own terms. Your room at Grant’s Arctic Escape is located on the 2nd floor. When you enter into the house, usually nobody will be on the first floor unless somebody is using the gym equipment. With this setting, your entry, exit and stay all carry a sense of privacy, even you live in a house.

You'll have the option to interact with us, by going upstairs to the third floor, to access the shared living room, kitchen, and dining areas. We will be glad to provide local information, recommend the best hiking trails and fishing spots, and ensure your stay is truly authentic and unforgettable.

With competitive rates, our quality room offers an opportunity to immerse yourself in the Arctic ambiance without breaking the bank. Come and experience the unique charm of Iqaluit at Grant’s Arctic Escape!
