Book a hotel in Halifax

Finding the perfect place to stay in Halifax is a breeze, whether you fancy a cosy B&B with harbour views or a stylish hotel in the heart of the action. To help you plan your ideal trip, eDreams has rounded up everything you need to know about accommodation options in this charming maritime city.

Discover Nova Scotia’s capital, a city where maritime history meets modern charm on the Atlantic coast. Halifax is celebrated for its deep natural harbour, making it a pivotal port city with a rich seafaring heritage. You can immerse yourself in this past at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, or explore the historic waterfront, home to the bustling Seaport Farmers’ Market and many excellent restaurants and bars.

A visit to the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site offers panoramic views and a journey back to the city's military roots, with daily re-enactments. Don't miss exploring the Public Gardens, a tranquil Victorian-era oasis, or strolling along Spring Garden Road for local shops and eateries. Whether you're interested in cultural sites, coastal walks, or simply enjoying the local atmosphere, you'll find plenty of appealing options for your stay.

When looking for a hotel in Halifax, the Downtown area is often the most popular choice. It offers excellent access to the waterfront, business district, and many of the city's key attractions, making it a convenient base for most visitors.

Beyond Downtown, the city offers diverse neighbourhoods. To the south, South End is known for its tree-lined streets and historic buildings. It's home to Dalhousie University and Saint Mary's University, giving it a lively, academic feel. Accommodation here typically includes boutique guesthouses and smaller hotels, often appealing to those seeking a quieter stay close to parks like Point Pleasant Park.

The North End offers a different vibe, known for its creative atmosphere and independent shops. While it has fewer large hotels, you can find charming bed and breakfasts or holiday rentals. This area is close to the Halifax Shipyard and Hydrostone Market, a historic garden suburb known for its unique architecture and local businesses.

Booking a hotel in Halifax means considering transport. The city centre is walkable, and Halifax Transit operates bus services throughout the city, connecting different areas. Many hotels in Downtown are within easy reach of bus stops. For airport access, Halifax Stanfield International Airport is the main gateway, located about 22 miles north of the city centre. Hotels often provide shuttle services, or you can use public transport and taxis to connect with the airport.

Planning your Halifax trip doesn't have to break the bank, especially when it comes to accommodation. Consider booking your hotel for stays during the shoulder seasons – April to June or September to October. You’ll often find better rates compared to peak summer, and you can still enjoy pleasant weather for exploring sights like the Halifax Public Gardens, which offers free admission and is a National Historic Site of Canada. Another tip is to look for hotels slightly outside the downtown core, perhaps in areas like Dartmouth, which is a short ferry ride across the harbour and often presents more budget-friendly options.

For even greater savings, keep an eye on our exclusive deals and packages. Booking a hotel and flight together through eDreams can significantly reduce your overall holiday cost, letting you spend more on experiencing local delights like a fresh lobster roll from a waterfront vendor.
