Item Description

Two-night stay for two at the Westin Nova Scotian in Halifax, Canada, including hot buffet breakfast for two each morning.

Our AAA/CAA Four Diamond Halifax hotel features an ideal location near the scenic harbourfront. Steps from world-class Halifax attractions, we are the ideal place to savour the sights and sounds of this beautiful city. The “Nova Scotian” originally opened its doors on June 23, 1930 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The hotel boasted 130 rooms, five suites and the elegant Atlantic Ballroom which accommodated up to 275 guests for dinner. The beautiful hotel was reminiscent of grand hotels seen all over the world and the only one of its kind in Eastern Canada. The hotel is one of the original railroad hotels owned by Canadian National Railways, which built landmark hotels all across Canada in the 1930s and 1940s. The Nova Scotian connected Halifax to the rest of Canada. This Halifax hotel served as a supply base for the trains, prepared all meals and provided laundry services for the train linens and bedding.  At the time, the Nova Scotian was eight stories high, and on the 8th floor, there was a beautiful tearoom that overlooked the city of Halifax and CornwallisPark. The tearoom was surrounded by a beautiful rose garden and was one of the most popular and well-respected venues in the city.  The rear of the hotel has a full view of the Port, where historically luxury liners docked as Halifax has the second largest natural harbour in the world next to Sydney, Australia.  Today, up to 85 cruise ships a year visit the Halifax Seaport. Many ships still dock directly behind the hotel - a great sight for guests visiting Halifax, Nova Scotia.
