Hotel Nova Scotian

Hotel Nova Scotian

The Hotel Nova Scotian is a Canadian hotel located in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

It was built by the Canadian National Railways beginning in 1928 and opened on 23 June 1930 as the final part of the South End Terminal Project which had seen the new Halifax Railway Station moved from the North End to the south end of Hollis Street, as well as the opening of the Halifax Ocean Terminal, which included Pier 21, a trans-Atlantic ocean liner passenger terminal.

The Hotel Nova Scotian was sold by Canadian National Hotels when that chain divested all of its properties in the early 1980s. The Nova Scotian operated briefly under the Hilton Hotels banner before closing for a period in the early 1990s. It was used as a temporary dormitory by Saint Mary's University for several years before being sold and extensively renovated.

Today it operates under the Westin Hotels banner as the Westin Nova Scotian and is considered one of the most prestigious hotels in Atlantic Canada.
