"Over the past two years, the $200 million development of the Queen’s Marque District has transformed the Halifax waterfront. Once a parking lot, this section of the harbor is now a thriving hub drawing both travelers and locals with its dynamic restaurants, wide range of local art, a 60-foot tidal clock, and wide steps that lead right into the Atlantic. In the center of it all is the Muir Hotel, which channels the city’s lengthy maritime history, from the four-degree angle of the building that mimics boat supports to the mesmerizing Light Chocks installation composed of Fresnel lens–inspired glass that glows like a lighthouse at night." - Aislyn Greene
