Four Points by Sheraton Halifax

★ 4.2$140-$210 — $210-$320Mid Range

Modern Halifax hotel on waterfront boardwalk with harbor views, fitness center, and restaurant. Walking distance to historic sites, shops, and restaurants.

Four Points by Sheraton Halifax is a modern waterfront hotel at 1496 Lower Water Street on Halifax's historic boardwalk, in Nova Scotia. Operating under Marriott International's Four Points by Sheraton brand, the property offers reliable mid-range accommodation in one of Canada's most historically significant port cities, combining a premium waterfront location with the consistent service and amenity standards expected from a global hospitality brand.

The hotel's position on Lower Water Street places it directly on the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk, a 4-kilometre promenade stretching along the Dartmouth-facing shore of Halifax Harbour. The Historic Properties — a cluster of preserved 19th-century stone and timber-frame warehouses now housing restaurants, shops, and galleries — are a five-minute walk north. The Maritimes Museum of the Atlantic, which holds extensive exhibits on the Titanic disaster and the 1917 Halifax Explosion, sits adjacent to the property. Pier 21, the Canadian Museum of Immigration, is approximately a 20-minute walk south along the waterfront, and Halifax Citadel National Historic Site — the city's prominent hilltop fortification — is a 15-minute walk uphill from the boardwalk.

Many guest rooms and suites feature direct views across Halifax Harbour toward Dartmouth, particularly appreciated at golden hour or when the Dartmouth ferry crosses the water below. The hotel's contemporary design maximises these harbour perspectives in its restaurant and bar areas as well as in upper-floor guest rooms. The on-site restaurant offers a menu featuring Nova Scotia seafood alongside international dishes, and the adjacent bar provides casual harbour-view seating for drinks.

A fully equipped fitness centre serves guests seeking to maintain exercise routines. Rooms are furnished to Four Points by Sheraton standards with the brand's signature Four Comfort Bed programme, flat-screen televisions, work desks, and en-suite bathrooms — reliable amenities for both leisure and business visitors.

The Dartmouth ferry departs from a terminal steps from the hotel, providing an inexpensive and scenic harbour crossing that connects guests to the broader Halifax Regional Municipality. Halifax Stanfield International Airport is approximately 40 kilometres north, accessible by taxi or bus in roughly 35 minutes.
