Within walking distance of many restaurants. Also only a couple of blocks to Arthur's Urban Grocery store - a great place for picking up a picnic lunch. The hotel provides driving service to locations within 2 km of the hotel, which we did take advantage of when we were too tired to climb the hill to see the Citadel!
Our room, a junior suite, was comfortable, nicely decorated, quiet and very clean. We had a city view which gave us a nice view of this lively city.
Service was personal and excellent, and it was obvious that their goal is to make the guest happy. All staff, from the front door to the spa, greeted us, remembered our names, and quickly and cheerfully helped us. In particular Rhianne at the front desk was so helpful. In addition to answering many questions about Halifax, she prepared a two page list of recommended sites to visit, current activities, good places for breakfast and dinner, and even texted me with updates; so helpful and always pleasant and professional. The front desk staff also arranged for delivery of the local newspaper (hotels don't seem to carry newspapers anymore)
We had one breakfast and one dinner at the Muir's restaurant. Food was good, service was good but not at the same level as the hotel staff.
We visited BKS, the Muir's speakeasy, two nights and really enjoyed sitting outside by our little fire with our drinks and munchies.
Gym is spacious, clean and has a wide selection of equipment and machines as well as a room that can be used for stretching if there is no class underway. Spa pool is a warm temperature and nice for relaxing, tho it is popular and may not be so quiet! Attendants are so helpful and friendly.Show More
