The La Tour room is situated on the Harbour side of the Homeport B&B/Inn overlooking the City, Harbour and the area where the Roberts brothers shipyard was located in the 1850's. The room also looks over the site of its namesake, Fort LaTour, a French fur traders' fort. This was one of the first European settlements in the area and was built by Charles LaTour in 1631. He and his intrepid wife Francoise Jaqueline found hardship, adventure and unfortunately  death in this newly found land in the pursuit of wealth, fame and glory.

The story of La Tour is well chronicled the book ''Fortune & La Tour'' and could not have been more intriguing and exhilarating if it had been developed by a Hollywood screen writer. The site has yet to be developed although it was excavated in the 1960's and a dedicated society has been formed to care and cultivate this important Heritage site.

The Homeport's LaTour room is a warm, cozy and somewhat secluded retreat. At night from the queen size Sleigh Bed you can watch the lighthouse on Partridge Island flashing a warning to marine traffic. Hey... Did you know.....? The Fog Horn was invented in Saint John and the first commercial fog horn was located on Partridge Island. Until 1997 you could clearly hear its plaintive warning on foggy days. Unfortunately cutbacks and modern technology have silenced the horn permanently.  We miss the sound.

There is a very large 1930's vintage ensuite bathroom with a large soaker tub/shower to rinse the road weary miles away. After a good nights sleep you can enjoy a morning sunrise in this bright cheery room. The room is furnished with a TV/DVD, phone, and wireless,  work table and all the luxury amenities of a Canada Select FIVE STAR accommodation.
