Muir, situated in the absolute centre of downtown Halifax in the new Queen’s Marque district is capturing attention with elevated hospitality and service inspired by the spirit, culture and natural beauty of Nova Scotia.
Muir has thoughtfully curated experiences that add meaning and forge a deeper connection to this place and its people. Take a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to a secluded island that is home to over 500 wild horses; discover Atlantic Canada’s brightest food and beverage talent with three ‘Canada’s 100 Best restaurants’ just steps from the property and take advantage of Muir’s waterfront location with an afternoon sail on Little Wing, Muir’s 36-foot Morris yacht.
With unprecedented views and direct ocean access, bespoke interiors, ultra-premium fitness and wellness centre, and enviable location in the core of the new culinary district, Muir invites guests to discover authentic Nova Scotia.
For the adventurous traveller: Muir’s Extraordinary Expedition includes morning mimosa’s and fresh-baked pastries on Muir’s sailing yacht, exclusive dining experiences and a visit to Sable Island National Park Reserve, an isolated island of sand-dunes and home to the largest breeding colony of grey seals and over 500 wild horses.
Partnering with Kattuk Expeditions and Parks Canada, this tour takes guests to one of the most remote places in the world for a full day guided tour of the island. “Sable Island is far away from modern amenities and services, in the exposed open Atlantic Ocean with the Gulf Stream and Labrador currents nearby” says Fred Stillman, of Kattuk Expeditions. “This is the wild of the wild, so remote and extreme, yet positively beautiful and gentle.”
For the foodies: Muir is at the centre of Halifax’s Queen’s Marque district, a new urban neighbourhood and culinary destination in downtown Halifax. Drift, located on the first floor of Muir delivers modern, elevated takes on classic Atlantic Canadian dishes and was recently named as one of Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants. Queen’s Marque is at the heart of Halifax’s burgeoning culinary scene and includes a creative collection of dining experiences, including Peacock Wine Bar and Café Lunette, which also made Canada’s Best 100 list. Exclusively for guests of Muir, BKS is a secret speakeasy hidden away inside the hotel. An enclave of curved wooden walls, muted marble, and luxurious banquettes, BKS opens onto an elevated waterfront terrace, jutting out into the harbour with the best views in the city.
