About
The Explorer Hotel in the heart of downtown Yelllowknife, has two culinary experiences to offer guests.
Enjoy a drink or meal at The Explorer Hotel's Trapline Lounge, one of the best lounges in Yellowknife. You'll love relaxing with a locally micro-brewed pint while you sit by our warm fireplace. Or you can enjoy innovative pub fare while catching the game on one of our TVs.
For a fine dinging experience, try the Explorer Hotel’s in house restaurant, the Trader’s Gill. Dining at Trader's Grill is an unforgettable experience. Executive Chef Gregor Zundel specializes in elevated Northern Canadian cuisine, including Arctic Char, premium steaks (aged for at least 28 days) and seafood. You'll enjoy your meal while basking in the warmth of our large fire pit or enjoying the views of Yellowknife’s stunning wilderness.
