Best Hotels in Halifax

Recent visitors praised The Prince George Hotel for its primo downtown Halifax location. Travelers staying here can easily walk to the Citadel, as well as to plenty of shopping venues and restaurants in the area. But while Halifax features a wealth of top-rated dining venues, recent visitors suggested staying on site for at least one meal. Gio Restaurant consistently impresses patrons with its international fare, which is served for lunch and dinner. On the other hand, The Prince George's accommodations are modern in aesthetic and feature amenities such as minifridges, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi and Keurig coffeemakers. Guests traveling with pets will appreciate the $25-per-stay fee for furry friends of all sizes; that fee covers a fleece pet blanket, waste bags and food and water bowls.

This Marriott outpost boasts a prime location on Halifax Harbour, within close proximity to the waterfront's bars, restaurants and shopping venues. Guests also praise this Marriott's proximity to the Casino Nova Scotia, which is connected to the hotel via an indoor skyway. Inside the hotel, the refurbished lobby wins guests over with its sleek, modern decor. The hotel's guest rooms and suites, on the other hand, seem to still need an update – travelers describe the rooms' brown and red color schemes as drab compared to the bright white furnishings of the lobby. Each room features a minifridge, a 25-inch flat-screen TV and complimentary Internet access. As for dining, you can order room service from the on-site restaurant, the harbourstone sea grill & pour house or venture to the nearby eateries located on the waterfront. Feel free to stick close to the hotel for your daily caffeine fix, though; there's Balancing Rock Coffeehouse on-site, which serves Starbucks coffee. Thanks to the property's Marriott ties, Marriott Rewards members can earn free nights and other perks for choosing to bed down here.

With its waterfront location, The Westin Nova Scotian is perfectly located for travelers looking to explore Halifax's maritime sites, including the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. But what visitors love the most about this Westin is its dedication to quality customer service. Many previous guests praised the friendly demeanor of the Westin's staff. After enjoying some sightseeing, retreat to your comfortable accommodations, furnished with a signature Heavenly Bed, 32-inch LCD TV and complimentary Internet access. Though some guests did describe the bathrooms as slightly cramped, most praised the rooms for being clean and spacious. Past visitors also recommended sampling the food at the Westin's two restaurants, Roy's Lounge and elements on hollis, which serves up classic dishes with a twist (think: salmon over a cucumber and watercress with kale chips). And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Rewards members can earn and use points here.

Recent guests praised this hotel in Halifax, Nova Scotia, for its downtown location near attractions like St. Paul's Church, the Province House and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. From the warm cookies at check-in to the oversized guest rooms, travelers say this Hilton outpost feels like a second home. Accommodations are outfitted with flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi access and bathrooms with rainfall showers. Families were especially complimentary of the standard kitchenettes with minifridges and microwaves. Other on-site amenities include a fitness center, an indoor pool and a childrens video rental library. When it comes to dining, The Hollis Halifax offers a full buffet for breakfast (not included in your room rate) and Ryan Duffy's Steak and Seafood for lunch and dinner. Travelers can also grab a nightcap at the on-site 'FAX Bar. While prior visitors appreciated the central location and clean, comfortable guest rooms, many cited the professional customer service as a reason for a return visit. What's more, if you're a member of the Hilton Honors loyalty program, you can earn or redeem points by choosing to stay here.

Situated close to the shops and pubs of Halifax's harbor area, the Delta Halifax caters to travelers looking to explore Nova Scotia's capital. The Delta Halifax is also connected via climate-controlled walkway to its sister property, the Delta Barrington, so visitors can stroll between the two hotels. Both properties are just steps from the Casino Nova Scotia and the World Trade and Convention Centre. Back at the Delta Halifax, guests can take advantage of the on-site Harbour City Bar & Grill, which guests praise the delicious, reasonably priced cuisine and attentive service. After a satisfying meal, slip away to your guest room, where you catch a flick on your 27-inch LCD TV, peruse the Web thanks to complimentary Wi-Fi access and pamper yourself with June Jacobs bath amenities. Some visitors do note that this hotel could benefit from an update, but they say its prime location and value — as well as its relaxing heated indoor swimming pool — are reasons to return.
