Ptarmigan Inn

Northwest Territories


In the heart of downtown, Hay River's only true hotel has clean, spacious, well-appointed rooms, a pub, a restaurant and a fitness center with hot tub. It's the community hub and is better value than the motels lining the highway. Rooms with kitchenette are available.
