St. James Social - Boutique Hotel

The bar and restaurant were hopping on a Saturday night. We didn’t have reservations so we sat at the bar. The very personable and attentive staff made us feel welcome. The owner made a special effort to make us feel welcome. We loved the contemporary ambiance and background music. We had attended music on the waterfront and were looking for a lighter bite. We split the house Caesar salad and the el pastor tacos. The Caesar is probably the best one I’ve ever had. The tacos were meticulously crafted and oozed flavor in every bite. When I return to Bayfield I will return to the St. James Social. Wonderful experience from start to finish.

Bayfield has held a piece of my heart since the first time I visited — it’s a place full of nature, art, and community treasures. Saint James Social is a perfect new addition to that spirit. Our retreat group had the joy of dining here, and the hospitality from the family who runs it was truly special. The pizza was incredible, the space was welcoming, and it was clear that so much care has gone into creating this experience. I’m already looking forward to coming back — next time to stay in their beautiful hotel. Grateful for this new gathering place in one of my favorite towns.

We loved our visit! It's a beautiful place, with a very good restaurant, a great sauna, and a comfortable room. The breakfasts were perfect, and we had a fine meal one night at the restaurant. We'll be back! Even with chilly weather, we enjoyed the rooftop deck. It's a handy location for everything in Bayfield.

Staying at this hotel is like staying with friends in the best possible way. You just feel so welcome and like you’re at home. The rooms are gorgeous really tastefully designed. the bed is gigantic and so comfortable sometimes I didn’t wanna get out of it! But it was worth it to get up because every morning there was also a beautiful spread of food from local producers. Every morning delicious. The location is amazing. Bayfield is beautiful. There’s plenty of parking but honestly, you’re probably gonna want to eat and drink at the restaurant downstairs for every meal. This was an incredible, restful, friendly experience, and I would come back every time I’m in Bayfield.

What an amazing experience. Rooms were a great blend of design and technology. The "food to table" restauarant not only has a great vibe but creativity rules. Grilled Bone Marrow! Really! Wines were well chosen as are the beers and cider. The European style breakfast was a favorite with well sourced cheeses, charcuterie and more. My final accolade is to the staff. Genuine caring hospitality. And a great location.

Everything about St. James social is perfect and lovely! From the personal welcome, attention to detail, delicious food, and gorgeous rooms… we could not have had a better stay! Our favorite things included the spa style bathroom, the N.A. cocktail menu, and the sauna! The location is excellent- walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, the water etc. Easy parking (even during a surprise snow storm!)- the owners are so incredibly welcoming and kind. We can’t wait to return!

Our stay at St. James Social was restful, indulgent, and inspiring. We enjoyed the delicious European-style breakfast, beautiful rooftop views, and luxurious amenities. A family trip to Bayfield was made extra special thanks to St. James Social!

Didn’t stay here but went to the restaurant and oh my.. it’s a slam dunk. The staff are incredibly intentional and friendly. The food was fresh and flavorful. Specifically, the gluten free sourdough pizza crust was truly one of the best crusts I’ve ever had. The vibe offers a special, unique setting and the record player is a nice touch. And I can only imagine if the restaurant was this good, staying here would surely be a highlight as well. Highly recommend this spot during your visit to Bayfield!

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday dinner while we were traveling, the atmosphere + service couldn't have been better, our server was a friendly person and refreshingly great at their job. We had one of the best pizzas we have ever had, specifically the fluffy sourdough crust and also filet mignon tacos, we will definitely be back whenever we are in the area.

Both pizzas we tried were very good (and were pizza snobs). The sourdough crust is . Inside is beautiful and our server was genuinely friendly. Would definitely go back!

St. James Social is one of the newest destinations on historic main street that offers incredible hospitality, ambiance and the most delicious food! Offering craft espresso bar by morning, in the evening try their house made sourdough pizzas cooked to order Neapolitan style. Weekends offer elevated dining options in addition to their pizzas with a curated selection of craft beers, ciders, wine and bubbles. They also make house made mock tails and have a vinyl record lounge. You're welcomed by their friendly staff and feel like you never want to leave. Pro tip: bring a board game or hand craft to enjoy while you mingle, eat and relax. They also have boutique hotel rooms available with a sauna and rooftop lounge for hotel guests. A new favorite in a lifelong favorite destination!
