Duluth International Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Duluth International is a small airport, 10-15 minutes from both the Miller Hill shopping area and the Canal Park waterfront: the choice depends on what you want to do in the city, not on the transfer. Those on a business trip or looking for simple hotels near the shops choose Miller Hill, a few minutes from the terminal. Those who want Lake Superior, the bridges and the maritime museums head toward Canal Park, the historic district on the harbor; there's also a resort overlooking the water here, with a free airport shuttle.
