• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Halifax, Atlantic Canada.
A vibrant urban destination offering a great blend of new and old, the modern port city of Halifax is one of Atlantic Canada's largest centres. Teeming with exciting attractions, inspiring heritage sites, manicured green spaces, world-class shopping and a plethora of fine restaurants and bars, the city appeals to a wide demographic of visitors, whether travelling for family recreation, a romantic weekend getaway or business. An impressive waterfront, a pedestrian-oriented core, unique cultural events and a location near some of Nova Scotia's most charming coastal villages make Halifax a popular destination. A wide range of hotels and motels are available within the capital and cater to all budgets and preferences. Extended-stay waterfront suites, history-filled hotels, family-friendly mid-scale chain properties and convention accommodations await.
DOWNTOWN & WATERFRONT AREA
A lively entertainment district, impressive historical architecture, a bustling waterfront area and an active inner harbour characterize Halifax's distinctive downtown area, where visitors can immerse themselves in the region's unique culture and heritage through self-guided walking tours, visits to interpretive centres or by sampling local seafood at the many dining establishments. The Citadel National Historic Site, the impressive Halifax Public Gardens, Pier 21, Casino Nova Scotia, the Halifax Metro Centre and the bustling Historic Properties are but a few of the attractions in the downtown area that draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. A diverse line-up of events, tours and businesses round out the extensive offerings, making a trip to the city a no-brainer for those seeking excitement and urban adventure.
Within this exciting core, hotels and motels to suit any travelling requirement are available, ranging from historic boutique-style properties like the Halliburton House Inn to amenity-filled family-friendly hotels like the Courtyard Halifax Downtown. Whether visitors seek luxurious rooms in landmark hotels or modest accommodations, properties in the core will not disappoint. Modern amenities and services are the hallmarks of downtown and waterfront hotels, which include guest facilities like indoor pool complexes, fitness centres, spas, on-site dining and flexible convention spaces. An added benefit of a stay in the core is that many of the city's most popular attractions and destinations are very easily accessible, often on foot.
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF DOWNTOWN
Comfortable guest lodgings just beyond the perimeter of downtown are available to visitors looking for economical choices or an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Encompassing districts from Robie Street West to the Armdale Rotary area, the central area of the city is replete with its own distinctive charm, Victorian architecture and lively shopping districts. Still providing convenient access to the sites and attractions of downtown and outlying areas, properties like the Commons Inn and the lakeside Best Western Chocolate Lake each provide amenities to serve the needs of both business and leisure travellers.
GREATER HALIFAX REGION
Part of a large municipality that encompasses close to 200 communities, Halifax also provides plenty of choices in neighbouring towns, cities and villages within the greater Halifax Regional municipality, including hotels and motels in Dartmouth, the Eastern Shore area, the Bedford Basin region and along the rugged Atlantic coastline of the South Shore. Providing down-home hospitality and easy access to the attractions and activities of Halifax proper, properties in nearby communities offer the best of all worlds. A full selection of hotels and motels are available throughout these areas, ranging from simple family-run motels to upscale waterfront properties filled to the brim with guest amenities and services. Dartmouth, a short drive (over the bridge) or ferry ride away from downtown Halifax, offers its own unique charm and a vast selection of hotels and motels to choose from, some providing panoramic vistas of Halifax Harbour and its skyline. Extending northwest from the city, the Bedford Highway artery provides a handful of hotels to choose from, each offering convenient access to amenities and attractions in both nearby Bedford and the city of Halifax.
LGBT-FRIENDLY ACCOMMODATIONS
An atmosphere of diversity and acceptance is apparent when visiting Halifax, including lodgings that provide certified TAG (Travel Alternatives Group) and Travel Gay Canada approved accommodation for LGBT travellers. Approved properties, including the Atlantica Hotel, Cambridge Suites Hotel and the Delta Barrington, enforce non-discriminatory policies and advocate an equal and welcoming environment for all visitors.
