Marriott International's Luxury Collection has expanded its portfolio in Canada with the debut of Muir, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Halifax, which was designed to pay tribute to Nova Scotia’s storied maritime heritage.
The Marriott Bonvoy brand recently opened the 109-room hotel on the Halifax waterfront in Queen’s Marque, the city’s newest cultural district.
“The introduction of Muir, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Halifax, represents a significant milestone in the brand’s continued expansion in Canada and reflects our commitment to offering travelers immersive experiences deeply rooted in local culture,” Bruce Rohr, VP and global brand leader of The Luxury Collection, said in a statement. “True to its promise—Born of this Place—the hotel captures the spirit of Nova Scotia with striking authenticity. Its maritime heritage, coastal beauty, and vibrant local artistry are woven throughout the experience, offering guests a rare opportunity to connect with Halifax in a way that is both meaningful and elevated—hallmarks of The Luxury Collection.”
The hotel’s guestrooms and suites that reflect the region’s character through bespoke furnishings, original Nova Scotia art and ocean views, according to the company. Developed and operated by The Armour Group Limited and designed by Nova Scotian firm MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects, the hotel is designed to honor character, materiality, and heritage through the art of place-making. Local materials were utilized, including salt-and-pepper granite and sandstone, as well as Muntz metal, a copper alloy prominently used in shipbuilding.
“Our guests are drawn to the unique sense of place that defines Muir, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Halifax,” said Talha Khan, the hotel's general manager. “Becoming part of the Luxury Collection portfolio allows us to deepen that story and introduce new ways for guests to explore and experience this remarkable region. This next chapter is an invitation to return or discover us for the first time, with new offerings designed to help guests connect more deeply with Nova Scotia through art, adventure and cuisine.”
In addition to multiple dining venues, the hotel also has a full wellness center, a private yacht and motorboat program as well as curated cultural experiences.
