As you enter the lobby, you can’t fail to be impressed by the stylish, wood-panelled architecture, the sparkling chandeliers and marble floors. The historic elegance and charm have recently been enhanced with a multi-million-dollar lift.

If you like to fill your day with culture, there’s plenty to choose from – step back in time with a visit to the hilltop, star-shaped Halifax Citadel National Historic Site, pop into the Museum of Natural History and the Discovery Centre or take a gentle stroll along the nearby historic boardwalk. Or if you fancy a bit of retail therapy, the hotel is conveniently connected to the Park Lane Mall by an indoor path where you’ll find over 40 shops.

The hotel’s rooms have a lovely, refined and modern feel to them and feature Nespresso coffee makers with complimentary coffee… a real home from home.

After a busy day of discovery and adventure, the hotel’s own restaurant has a friendly atmosphere and is a great spot to chat over new memories made and plan the next day’s exciting itinerary – choose from traditional English pub fare as well as a variety of international dishes. Alternatively, venture out to soak up the local vibe at a local bar or restaurant – the Front Desk team or Concierge are on hand to make recommendations.

Rooms are air-conditioned with cable TV, mini fridge and coffee maker, free WiFi, iHome radio, ironing equipment, hair dryer.
