Hotel Paulin
A three-story red clapboard building with a green-shingled mansard roof, the Hotel Paulin was built in 1891 as the first hotel in Caraquet and is still best in town; it has been operated by a member of the Paulin family for the past three generations. Located just off the main boulevard and overlooking the bay, it's an attractively Victorian place that's gone just a bit more upscale with the times over the past decade—adding units and raising prices to match. The lobby's decor features royal blue wainscoting, canary-yellow walls, and stuffed furniture upholstered in white with blue piping. Rooms and suites are comfortably if sparely furnished in flowery duvets and still more antiques. (Four newish luxury suites on the top floor are more stylish and contemporary, adding luxe touches like granite and mahogany styling; the Albert Suite has a lovely, modern bath.) However, not all units here have a true ocean view; ask when booking. The hotel's first floor houses a handsome, well-regarded restaurant featuring seafood and fusion and French influences (think grilled pizzas, tricked-up lobster, seafood grills, and pears with goat cheese).
