Halifax is a great place to be around the holidays—the oceanfront town turns into a winter wonderland with dazzling light displays and festive fixings around every corner. If you’re planning a trip to the capital of Nova Scotia this month, here’s where you’ll want to stay, shop, and sip during your stay. Where to Stay The number of hotels in Halifax doesn’t compare to its big city contemporaries—but you’ll still find some beautiful properties dotted along the Atlantic Canadian city.
If you’re looking for something high-end, consider checking into the relative newcomer Muir, Autograph Collection . The hotel shines as the best luxury-leaning property in the city thanks to its stunning rooms and suites that overlook the waterfront and amenities like a halotherapy salt room and a private speakeasy reserved just for guests. The Westin Nova Scotian is another great option along the waterfront—especially around the holidays.
The legacy hotel was one of the first high-end properties in the province and still offers a taste of the golden age of travel. The property is set to offer a daily traditional turkey dinner from December 1 through to December 23 and will also offer a four-course set menu on New Year’s Eve. What to See The Evergreen Festival will take place along the Halifax Waterfront from November 22 through to December 15.
The four-week-long festival will feature open-air shopping, a stunning light display, and plenty of sweet treats to celebrate the holid.
