This hotel was built in 1920 and the lobby still retains much of the elgance from this era. For many years, it was THE hotel in Halifax, partly because of its location across from the Halifax Public Gardens. A stay at the Lord Nelson was not complete without a stroll through the Victorian gardens across the street. Nowadays, the tranquility of the Gardens is offset with the hustle and bustle of the many shops and restaurants along nearby Spring Garden Road.
The rooms have been recently remodelled and although they are a bit small, they provide all the usual comforts and amenities. The suites have a small kitchen with microwave and small fridge.
Inside the hotel, the large Victory Arms pub offers English pub grub, salads, burgers, etc. and is very popular with visitors and residents alike.
