Fogo Island Inn is a cozy hotel located on Fogo Island, the largest of the offshore islands of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

It was designed by Saunders Architecture and completed in 2013.

Fogo Island Inn by Saunders Architecture:

“A five star inn for the Shorefast Foundation on Fogo Island, Newfoundland, Canada. Using wood as the main material, Saunders designed the 29 room Fogo Inn as a means towards the island’s economic and cultural survival, but also as a timeless piece of architecture, which would be ‘made just for Fogo’. The Inn includes a restaurant, directed by one of Canada’s best chefs, together with a lobby, a library, a small movie theatre and an independent art gallery on the ground floor; four floors of rooms above ground level; and a sauna and spa facility on the top of the building.”
