My stay was part business and part pleasure. The Lord Nelson could not have been more accommodating. Boutique room was spacious with a comfortable chair and a good reading lamp. Great bed and solid "historic" construction of the building meant it was very quiet. The location is excellent and staff friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay there next time.

Great Hotel. Attended a conference in June. Opted for their "petite" room at a bargain price compared to others in the city. Room was clean and comfortable, double bed, desk, armchair, wide screen TV and free wifi. Bathroom was very small but for one person was quite adequate. Across the street from the Halifax Gardens and about a 10 minute... More

Halifax has a nice range of hotels throughout the city centre. The Lord Nelson is one of these, located on a prime downtown corner, which makes it very walkable to most downtown attractions and shopping areas. The hotel itself is old and as such has limitations based on its original design. The updates that have been done are top quality,... More

Just checked into this hotel for a one night stay, very impressed! Incredibly beautiful heritage hotel! Centrally located in downtown Halifax. Beds are lovely and soooo comfy. Staff are very friendly and accomadating. Food at the pub is delicious, highly recommend the lobster roll. Shepard's pie was very tasty too! They provide Aveda bath products, my favourite.

When traveling often the best thing in a hotel is that it's predictable, no surprises. The Lord Nelson is in a great location, has some lovely charm, and good service, but most of all, it was exactly as we expected.

We stayed at the Lord Nelson for two nights and were not disappointed. This renovated, historic hotel overlooks the Public Gardens and is close to everything. We parked our car in the garage and didn't need it until our departure. We had the breakfast and park package which is a good value. We had a spacious room overlooking the Park,... More

We stayed at Lord Nelson for the third time and if we come to Halifax again, we will stay there. The location is perfect for shopping, for visiting the public garden and the citadel and it is within a nice walking distance from the waterfront - and from all other major sights in Halifax. The hotel is a nice mixture... More

We had a wonderful experience and would certainly stay at the Lord Nelson again. We got a great deal on Expedia and we were thrilled by the charm of doormen and turn down maid service, old fashioned hospitality and beautiful appointments. Highly recommended. Walking into the lobby is an experience in itself with the beautiful chandeliers and woodwork. The Lord... More

Across from the most beautiful park and centrally located, this hotel is only minutes from shopping. It is best visited without children ( no pool ). Book a room which includes complimentary breakfast from the lobby balcony. It is worth it. Also ask for a free room upgrade. I was given one without even asking, and in high season! Look... More
