The Best Hotels in Halifax, by the Record
The best hotels in Halifax, by the professional record: Forbes Travel Guide and Michelin Guide have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Muir, Halifax comes out on top.

The building juts into Halifax Harbour like a ship that forgot to leave, which is the point: Muir is a luxury hotel whose seafaring references stop well short of nautical kitsch. Rooms are lined in gray oak, bar shelves curve like portholes, and nearly every window faces water. A spa, a gallery, and a well-regarded restaurant fill out the rest. It holds a Forbes Four Star and a Michelin Key.

Check-in happens at the bar, and the first drink is free, which tells you everything about what kind of hotel this is. Rooms are compact and deliberately so, with open closets and walk-in showers, while Bar Moxy does triple duty as lounge, library, and weekend DJ venue. Grab-and-go runs around the clock for the chronically hungry. The waterfront and convention center are minutes away, and the Michelin Guide has it listed among selected hotels.
