The Luxury Collection, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio, has expanded into Atlantic Canada with the addition of Muir, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Halifax. Located in the Queen’s Marque district on the city’s waterfront, the hotel brings the brand’s ethos of culturally immersive travel to Nova Scotia, marking a milestone in its Canadian expansion strategy.
Bruce Rohr, vice-president and global brand leader for The Luxury Collection, said the launch reflects a commitment to offering travelers immersive experiences deeply rooted in local culture. “True to its promise — Born of this Place — the hotel captures the spirit of Nova Scotia with striking authenticity,” he says. “Its maritime heritage, coastal beauty and vibrant local artistry are woven throughout the experience, offering guests a rare opportunity to connect with Halifax in a way that is both meaningful and elevated.”
Envisioned, developed and operated by The Armour Group Limited, Muir features 109 guest rooms and suites designed by Halifax-based firm MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects. The interiors incorporate materials such as local granite, sandstone and Muntz metal — a copper alloy historically used in shipbuilding — and showcase custom furnishings and original Nova Scotia artwork.
“Muir’s elevation to The Luxury Collection portfolio allows us to deepen our story and introduce new ways for guests to experience this remarkable region,” said Talha Khan, general manager, Muir, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Halifax. “This next chapter is an invitation to return or discover us for the first time, with new offerings designed to help guests connect more deeply with Nova Scotia through art, adventure and cuisine.”
The property’s culinary program is anchored by Drift, a restaurant offering a modern take on Atlantic Canadian cuisine. Designed to reflect Nova Scotia hospitality, Drift overlooks Halifax’s harbour and the nearby Tidal Beacon art installation. The hotel also features BKS, a guest-exclusive speakeasy with an elevated waterfront terrace, craft cocktails and a selection of small plates.
