The Halliburton

The Halliburton is a well-appointed, well-run, elegant country inn located in the heart of downtown. Named after former resident Sir Brenton Halliburton (Nova Scotia's first chief justice), the inn is spread out among three town-house-style buildings connected via gardens and sun decks in the rear (though not internally). The main building was constructed in 1809, but only converted into an inn in 1995; it was somehow modernized without the loss of its considerable charm. All guest rooms here are subtly furnished with fine antiques, yet few are so rare that you'd fret about damaging them. (The rooms also feature iPod-playing clock-radios, flatscreen TVs, and Wi-Fi access.) Things are rich and masculine in tone here, and light on frilly stuff. Among the best units: room no. 113, small but with a lovely working fireplace and unique skylighted bathroom. Room nos. 102 and 109 are suites with wet bars and fireplaces; there's also a studio apartment. Halliburton is popular with business travelers, yet it's also a romantic spot for couples to hide out in. The intimate first-floor dining room Stories serves dinner nightly.
