"A 109-room luxury hotel in Halifax with maritime design and local art. Features a speakeasy rooftop bar. Nearby restaurant Mystic, led by Chef Malcolm Campbell, offers three tasting menus exploring Nova Scotia's terroir with dishes like Acadian wild caviar and smoked ricotta ravioli." - Claire Sibonney
"While modern Halifax has grown beyond its nautical roots, the 109-room waterfront Muir—a member of Marriott’s Autograph Collection of independent hotels and part of the city’s new $200 million Queen’s Marque district—offers a peek into its maritime past. In the lobby, walls of glass from an art installation glow like a lighthouse, and more works continue the theme throughout. Rooms are outfitted with midcentury modern–inspired furniture and custom-designed tartan blankets that nod to the province’s Scottish history. The restaurant serves Nova Scotia classics such as hodge podge, a hearty stew, and the hotel’s speakeasy BKS references the region’s rum-running past in cocktails like Her Majesty’s Displeasure." - Aislyn Greene, Nikki Bayley

"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
"The trek to Fogo Island typically requires multiple transfers and stops along the way, with most guests opting for an overnight stay in Halifax, where the Muir Hotel offers a standout reprieve." - David Graver
