Downtown, the new kid is the Sheraton Duluth, across from the venerable Hotel Duluth. It has 147 rooms and skyway access to nearby hospitals (in case you party a little too hearty at the Blues Festival). If you look closely, there’s an architectural echo in the Sheraton and the hulking grande dame of Duluth lodgings, but the similarities end there.
