Hotel Nova Scotian, impressive in both style and service, benefited from meticulous management since its construction in downtown Halifax by the Canadian National Railroad in 1929. Its original pinkish hued brick and copper roof suggest a charming colonial influence. The historic building, located adjacent to Halifax Station, has retained its railroad heritage and colonial styling while coming to be known as the magnificently updated Westin Nova Scotian.

The Westin Nova Scotian offers an exceptional array of facilities, services and amenities expected of first class accommodations. Doormen arrange for Town Car or limousine service as necessary, and a concierge is available for any request. Additionally, the hotel features a full service health spa, tennis courts, and beauty salon. Many of the Westin's staff are multi lingual. The lobby is a popular social setting, featuring Starbucks Coffee and pastry bites. Meanwhile, the hotel restaurant serves savory Tuscan cuisine with the integrity of local, fresh ingredients.

Many of the Westin's guestrooms overlook Cornwalis Park, while others provide brilliant cityscape or harbor views. The rooms feel comfortably lavish, furnished in warm, modern décor. For travelers accompanied by their four legged friends, Westin provides a "Heavenly Dog Bed." Guests toting laptops may connect to high speed Internet access available in room. The Westin Nova Scotian leaves guests of downtown Halifax with little room for want.
