Delta Halifax

Frommer's Review

The Delta Halifax (formerly the Hotel Halifax, which was formerly the Chateau Halifax) is a slick and modern downtown hotel that offers premium service. It's located just a block off the waterfront, which it's connected to via skyway, but navigating the skyway involves an annoying labyrinth of parking garages and charmless concrete structures. The lobby is street-side and guests -- largely business travelers during the week -- take elevators up above a six-floor parking garage to reach their rooms. Ask for a room in the "resort wing" near the pool, which feels a bit farther away from the chatter of downtown and the press of business. A number of rooms have balconies and many have harbor views; ask when you book. Rooms are in two classes -- either 300 or 500 square feet -- and all are furnished simply and unexceptionably with standard-issue hotel furniture. The Crown Bistrot restaurant (run by the same chef as the Delta Barrington's cafe) offers good Continental, Asian, and Maritime-inflected cuisine, while Sam Slick's Lounge next door features Friday-night piano and a surprisingly varied bar menu.
