CUSTOMER REVIEWS
CUSTOMER REVIEWS
I had a great stay; I really enjoyed the newly renovated hotel. The host/manager was great, she was always easy going and very helpful if you needed something. Her food was delicious!
The only thing that needs to be upgraded are the beds; every inn’s north hotel I have stayed at I have always ended up very sore and tired because of the quality of sleep. And I usually stay for a week at a time for work, so sleep is very important when staying at any of the hotels.

Co-op Location
Pangnirtung Co-op
Pangnirtung, often referred to as “Pang,” is an Inuit hamlet located on Baffin Island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada.
Geography: Pangnirtung is situated on a coastal plain at the head of Pangnirtung Fjord, which merges with Cumberland Sound. It is located about 45 km south of the Arctic Circle.
Cultural Significance: The name “Pangnirtung” means “the place of many bull caribou” in Inuktitut. The community is known for its high-quality traditional arts, including sculpture, printmaking, and weaving.
History: The area has been inhabited by Inuit and their ancestors for thousands of years. European contact began in the early 20th century with the establishment of a Hudson’s Bay Company trading post in 1921 and a Royal Canadian Mounted Police post in 1923.
Economy: Pangnirtung has a vibrant arts community, with many residents engaged in creating and selling traditional Inuit art. The government established a weaving studio in 1970, which has helped local artists gain international recognition.
Pangnirtung is often referred to as the “Switzerland of the Arctic” due to its stunning mountainous scenery.
