Forget everything you know about your typical traditional hotel experience, at the Moxy Halifax Downtown we’re here to show you a good time! At our brand-new “boutique style” hotel, you will not find your traditional front desk, we replaced that experience with a bar, living room, games room and library which sets the tone for a social, playful, and fun experience. Our guests check in at the Bar Moxy and enjoy their first drink on us!
The hotel's vibrant communal space is the center of activity, giving guests exciting ways to work hard and play harder. From the communal public spaces to the smart and flexible 160 guestroom, including 18 studios with an open kitchen, Moxy embodies a bold, surprising design for the socially extroverted consumer.
Feel the globally inspired vibe everywhere, from our art installations to the design, curated small plates menu and our DJ's beats.
Moxy is spirited – always buzzing with high energy, interesting people, and an energetic crew. The Moxy experience is seriously considered and playfully executed.
This is downtown energy at its best. You bring your energy. We'll bring the vibe. #Playon

Fantastic hotel. Really cool vibe. Beautifully styled. Room with queen bed was small but very functional due to a very intelligent design concept and excellent use of space. Bathroom/shower was great. Every floor has a locker that contains extras of anything you need…pillows, towels, toothpaste, toothbrush etc. great location close to all relevant attractions and restaurants.

This place is a VIBE. I wish I could have spent more than one night. Very clean, very welcoming, very unique, with a party atmosphere.
It's clearly catering to the club crowd. The front desk is the bar and the front desk staff are skilled bartenders. They make traditional and signature cocktails the right way, none of that lime bar mix garbage. There was a live DJ spinning in the lobby/bar. Lots of comfortable seating.
The room itself has a kind of industrial aesthetic, but not a cold one. To maximize space, the room has a host of hooks and shelving instead of a closet. The TV is huge and really nice, it's easy to access streaming or connect your own device. I especially loved the bathroom, which is fully tiled with a big walk-in shower and a sliding door.
My only complaint, and the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, was noise. The music from the bar was loud, and even though I was on the 7th floor I could still hear it until after midnight. Probably because my room was at the front of the hotel directly above the lobby, so the music wafted up to the window. The heat/ventilation is also really loud.

I loved this hotel. Upon check-in they offer you a token chit for a complimentary signature cocktail, which was delicious! What other hotel offers you a comp bev at check-in!? The rooms are a great price at $199/night, especially compared to others downtown. The food in the restaurant was so good and reasonably priced. I had the chicken pickle flatbread pizza and I'm still thinking about it (drool)!! The staff are so friendly, SHOUT OUT TYLER! He showed us the secret room and hooked us up with patio heating for evening drinks. This hotel is all about good vibes. There is no mini-fridge, and not a lot of extra room, but if you're only looking for a place to sleep, this is it. Very cute decor. Probably the most fun I have ever had at a hotel.

Very very cool and different style of Hotel, not your run of a mill Hotel thats for sure.
You check in at the bar!
Very new hotel, they just opened not so long ago, so i understand why certain hings will take longer then normal and there could be more mistakes then normal, like check out took a bit to long, the bartender did not know how to make certain drinks, or know which glass to serve them in.
The conference room we booked did not have table plugs, speaker or camera tv system, HDMI cable to cast laptop on Screen was very short, not really any instructions found anywhere, it still felt that the conference room was still not completed yet.
Rooms were very different, no desk for me to work on my computer, no chair either, stayed in a 1 queen bedroom, I did like the type of decor they had in there.
Lots of board games and arcade style games in the lobby to entertain yourself with, breakfast was decent, and they give free candy snacks during the day at the bar!
Ask the front desk that you would like to see the secret lobby, entrance is hidden behind a book case.

Response from Yogita Sodhi, General Manager at Moxy Halifax Downtown
Responded 12 Jun 2024
Hey JSaxe86! Sounds like you stumbled upon quite the gem of a hotel, huh? Checking in at the bar? Now, that's what I call setting the tone for a memorable stay. Sure, being a newbie on the hotel scene might mean a few hiccups here and there, but it's all part of the adventure, right? Like a little mystery to spice things up. And hey, who doesn't love a challenge? Now, about that conference room situation... sounds like they're still fine-tuning things. But hey, think of it this way: it's a chance to showcase your adaptability and problem-solving skills. Who needs plug-and-play when you've got good old-fashioned ingenuity? As for the rooms, sounds like they're going for a minimalist vibe. No desk? No problem. Just cozy up somewhere unexpected and let the creative juices flow. But let's talk about the real stars of the show: those board games and arcade-style games in the lobby? Genius move. And free candy snacks at the bar? Consider my sweet tooth officially satisfied. Oh, and that secret lobby? Now you're speaking my language. Who doesn't love a hidden entrance? It's like being in on the best-kept secret in town. So, yeah, maybe it's not your run-of-the-mill hotel experience. But isn't that the whole point? Here's to embracing the unexpected and making memories worth sharing. Cheers to your moxie-filled adventure at the coolest hotel in town! 🍸

We recently spent two nights at The Moxy Halifax, and let me tell you, it was an experience that had us laughing, stimming, and snacking on gummy worms like there was no tomorrow!
Shoutout to Stephen the Bartender, who not only made sure we were well-hydrated but also let us snag an extra Moxy the Moose plushie for our little one at home. (Seriously, Stephen, you’re a legend!) We arrived early, and they didn’t just accommodate us—they welcomed us with open arms, a drink in hand, and a jar of gummy worms big enough to swim in.
This place is a playground for both kids and adults. Giant Uno? Check. Secret room? Double check. Swings, TV that you can control (and by "you," I mean your child who has now become the unofficial lobby DJ)? Check, check, and check! Everything is close enough that parents can sip on a cocktail while the kids tire themselves out playing games and discovering hidden treasures.
There is alot of construction going on nearby, which made getting to the waterfront feel like an obstacle course. No fridges in the rooms meant our leftover Häagen-Dazs from the grab and go had to be sacrificed to the gods of room temperature. Also, no happy hour or kids' menu at the restaurant was a bit of a bummer, but honestly, the complimentary coffee bar in the morning and the sheer joy of watching our son unlock the secret room made up for it.
The Moxy Halifax is a #neurodivergent #parents dream come true. Thank you for designing a hotel that not only provides novelty but also a space for my child to stim, regulate, and unwind after a long day of travel.
Thank you for making our travel easy and thinking outside of the box. You have gained new travelers for life who will choose you over the competition whenever it’s available.

New and fresh concept by Marriott right in the centre of Halifax with easy access to all major tourist spots in the heart of downtown. Walking distance to some neat restaurants, shopping and attractions. This hotel has some fun decor, with cool elevators and the lobby is designed as a cool hang out spot for the guests with games, bar and music.
We stayed here for two nights while visiting family and exploring Halifax and surrounding areas.
Staff were very friendly and we got upgraded which was truly appreciated. Welcome drinks are a nice touch.

Our first time staying in a Moxy hotel by Marriott! Completely different vibe! Stayed here for 4 nights while in Halifax! This hotel is funky/retro chic! Love the unique decor! No reception center, you checkin at the bar area! You receive a token for a complimentary Moxy signature cocktail! Nice touch! As Titanium members we were upgraded to a corner King studio on 7th floor! Wow! Much appreciated! Mo at checkin is a gem. They do have underground parking available in a lot around the hotel. Hotel is situated within walking distance of many restaurants & pubs! We walked down to the harbor a few times a day and of course had to also climb back up! Great way to get our steps in! Lots of lounging areas inside and out of hotel. Many games available, such a fun vibe everywhere! We loved finishing off our nights in the cool hotel bar! Daniel is a great server! Abi is the absolute BEST bar manager and mixologist ever! Got to sample a few of his delectable creations! We also loved being served by Wing, another amazing bartender, always service with a smile and she even surprised us with some meringue bites for our anniversary! This bar is cozy and comfy at the same time! Perfect way to cap off our nights! Thank you Moxy! We will be back!

I recently had a great experience staying at this new hotel. The design is modern and practical, every detail is thought out. Starting with the functional reading light and ending with the steam iron in the room. The room is very clean, incredible view of the bridge, huge window. The bar pleased with delicious cocktails. Also delicious food right in the hotel. Elevator as a special kind of art

The hotel is set up like a lively bar and a young fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, the GM there Kelvin is NOT that guy! When 2am came around and it was time for drinks to be put away..... he approached our group with such aggression that we were all put off ever coming back.
Other staff members were great! Just the one bad apple made us uncomfortable and we didn't go back for food and drink again.
It is also the law according to Kelvin that you're not allowed to take drinks to your room, so consider this when choosing a Hotel.
I would never go back or recommend based on the management.

Excellent staff and service but other things bring it down. No chairs in the room and the table is just a small folding one attached to the wall. No coffee maker or fridge in the room but the coffee in the lobby was great. No extra blankets or pillows. The room was laid out nicely , the bathroom was beautiful and love the walk in shower. I would stay here again but only if I was not planning to spend any time in the room except to sleep. Loved the bar and lobby area. It was so relaxing and laid back.
