Muir, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Halifax

wow

The harbor view was amazing, and I really liked how welcoming and kind the staff were.

Nothing

Every now and then we splurge on a fancy hotel during a long haul trip, we stayed at the Muir and it was worth every penny. We were on the road for close to 2 months in Atlantic Canada and spent a lot of times at air bnb's and chain hotels. We had 2 different trips to Halifax - one on route to Cape Breton and one upon return. During our return we opted to spend a night at the Muir and it was complete relaxation with all of the the best amentites. Hubby still says he's convinced they served him the best scotch he's ever tasted at the private bar for guests.

Our stay at the Muir, during the last week of October 2025, could not have been better. It is a truly beautiful hotel, situated right on the Halifax waterfront. It is exquisitely designed, sleek and modern, with thoughtful touches everywhere. From the moment we arrived, all the staff were wonderfully welcoming. Our room was stunningly beautiful and looked out onto the waterfront. The furnishings were elegant (the bar armoire is a work of art and yet fully functional), with an incredibly comfortable bed which made our room a wonderful, serene sanctuary. The room staff were discreet and yet attentive. As an example among many, they saw that we had a glass of water beside the bed the first night. For the subsequent nights, at the turn down service, they made sure that water was placed beside our bedside on a beautiful little mat. It is this intuitive attention to detail that appears in so many places throughout, which makes this hotel a truly exceptional place. The spa was also lovely, including the pool, steam room and sauna, all spotlessly clean. We dined at the hotel restaurant, Drift, twice, and both times were delightful. Complimentary access to the hotel’s Range Rover to get one around downtown was much appreciated. The hilly streets of Halifax, done in style. It really is one of the most beautiful city hotels we have ever had the good fortune in which to stay. We completely recommend staying here and it will be our first and only choice in Halifax, going forward.
