Halifax Tower Hotel & Conference Centre, an Ascend Collection Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
It is worth booking if you have a car or do not mind taxis and want a five-star hotel with a 9.2 guest score. Skip it if you want to walk to the harbour and downtown, which are well over an hour away on foot.

Halifax Tower Hotel & Conference Centre, an Ascend Collection Hotel, is our Luxury pick for Halifax. It suits drivers, business travellers using the conference side, and anyone who values a highly rated breakfast and a pool and gym on site.
It is a poor fit for visitors who want to step out the door and explore the old town on foot. The sights in our data are all between 7.6 and 9.6 km away.
Location and getting around
The address is 15 Lakelands Boulevard. Guests rate the location 8.7, which likely reflects convenience by car rather than walkability.
Using straight-line estimates, St. Mary's Basilica is about 7.6 km away, roughly 95 minutes on foot. The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is about 7.7 km, around 96 minutes. Halifax Harbour is about 9.6 km, close to two hours. All of these are far, so you will need public transport or a taxi.
Free parking is listed. Guests mention an underground garage, but say the entrance and layout can be confusing. Give yourself extra time the first time you drive in.
What guests say
The score is 9.2 out of 10 from 813 reviews, joint second of 12 eligible hotels in our sample.
Breakfast earns the warmest comments. Guests describe a buffet with a wide variety of hot, fresh food, served with views from the top floor. Listed breakfast types are Continental, Gluten-free, American and Buffet, which helps if you eat gluten-free.
Staff and the owner are described as friendly, helpful and attentive. The one recurring complaint in our data is the parking garage layout.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults came to €187.41 a night, above the sample median of €145.94. These are not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Chateau Bedford Trademark Collection by Wyndham, was €115.86 a night with a score of 8.7. Our Best Value pick, The Prince George Hotel, was €137.07 with 8.8. Both are four-star. Here you pay about €50 more per night than the Best Value pick for a five-star rating and a higher guest score, but you trade away walkable access to the centre.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 12 eligible properties in Halifax. For the Luxury slot, official five-star hotels come first. This one holds five stars and one of the top guest scores in the sample, backed by more than 800 reviews.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Confirm whether breakfast is in your rate, since it is the main draw in reviews.
Check pool and gym hours and any fees for your dates. If you are not driving, price out taxis to the harbour before deciding, because that cost adds up over a short stay.
