Accommodations

Halifax view to the southeast

The organizers of Halifax 2018 are proud of their most liveable city, and want delegates and guests to enjoy their stay in comfortable accommodations. The city offers a wide array of places to stay, from grand dame, classic railroad, modern sleek, and economy hotels, efficient and convenient suites, elegant classic inns and cozy B&Bs, to new university residences steps from the Dalhousie University conference venues.

All accommodations listed below are located in and around the downtown area, and within a 30-minute-or-less walk or a quick taxi drive to Dalhousie. We urge delegates to consult the various travel websites to determine the amenities for each institution and their locations, proximity to dining, music, museums, the harbour, attractions and the like. Indeed, virtually all the places to stay listed below are visible in the above image!

Conference Hotel — The Lord Nelson Hotel

The Lord Nelson Hotel

The Lord Nelson Hotel is the conference’s designated hotel, and is centrally located between the city’s downtown core and Dalhousie University. It overlooks Halifax’s renowned Victorian Public Gardens and adjacent to the Citadel Hill National Historic Site, with shopping and dining steps away. Since 1927, the Lord Nelson has been a favourite place to stay, dine and be entertained for generations of Haligonians and visitors alike. The hotel recently completed a comprehensive refurbishment of its facilities offering a wonderful and relaxing stay with the latest amenities to all its guests.

A limited number of rooms have been set aside for the conference with special rates are available to delegates.
