April 23, 2016 • admin

After a $5-million renovation, the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel is able to unveil its brand-new Great Room, an exhilarating new twist at the traditional hotel lobby concept. The downtown Halifax, NS hotel also expanded its event space to 22,000 square feet as portion of the renovation, and is now fully prepared to fulfill the purposes of any kind of meeting or event.

At the guts of the hotel’s new Great Room is the harbourstone sea grill & pour house, which replaces the hotel’s 44 North and Fife and Drum restaurants. The restaurant, with seating for 177 diners, makes a speciality of specialty offerings including a breakfast buffet and native beers on tap.

The bar at this downtown Halifax restaurant is a very unique venue. Featuring comfortable lounge seating, it’s prominently placed and simply accessible to guests in every stage in their stay and day. The bar is the ideal place to fulfill with colleagues or socialize with friends without needing to fret about ordering a drink or meal. If you want some alone time while still inside the company of others, an “Individual Zone” offers space to sit back with a book or hunker down for a number of hours of labor.

For meetings that require a little extra space, the renovation at this Halifax hotel also added 4,600 square feet of event space with its Sable Ballroom. The waterfront event space offers spectacular views and many natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows. With seven meeting rooms in total and 22,000 square feet of event space, the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel can accommodate everything from conferences and board meetings to weddings and family reunions.

While the renovation brought big changes to the hotel, there are a few things that haven’t changed. Guests still receive service worthy of the hotel’s AAA Four Diamond rating and might enjoy several luxurious amenities including an indoor pool, Interlude Spa and a contemporary fitness centre.
