The Prince George Hotel is at 1725 Market Street in downtown Halifax. Its own listing on the Tourism Nova Scotia site describes a four-diamond hotel within walking distance of the waterfront, the Public Gardens and the Neptune Theatre, with 203 rooms and suites in queen and king configurations. On site you will find Gio, a four-diamond restaurant, an indoor pool with a whirlpool, a sauna, a fitness centre and a sundeck, with shared access to the hot tub and sauna. Rooms have air conditioning, smart television and Wi-Fi, and some offer ocean or water views. Room service and a 24-hour business centre add to the business-hotel feel, and pets are welcome. It suits couples, business travellers and visitors who want a central, full-service hotel without the highest price tier.
Location and getting around: the hotel's downtown address is close to Citadel Hill, so the climb to the fort is short, and the waterfront boardwalk is a short walk downhill. The Public Gardens and Spring Garden Road shopping are a walk the other way. Most of the old town sights in this guide are reachable on foot, which keeps transport costs low, and a taxi covers the rest.
Rooms and facilities: with more than two hundred rooms and suites, the property offers a range of bed types and views, so ask for a higher floor or an ocean-view room if the outlook matters. The indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna and sundeck are open to guests, and are especially welcome after a cold day on the hill. Gio gives you a good dinner without leaving the building, and room service helps on arrival days.
Good to know: self-parking and valet parking are available in an indoor parkade, which is valuable in winter when you do not want to scrape a windshield. Parking carries a charge, so check the rate when you book. Published rates range widely by date, from moderate to high in peak season, so shoulder-season stays like November are good value. It is a strong all-round choice for a first visit, sitting between the luxury of Muir and the value of Cambridge Suites.
