This was my wife and my third time staying at the Muir, and it continues to be one of our favorite places to stay in Halifax. The rooms, as always, are top notch. They are elegant, beautifully appointed, and thoughtfully designed. The finishes, textures, and overall atmosphere strike that perfect balance between modern luxury and warm maritime character. Every stay has felt refined and intentional.
This was the first time, however, that our experience was not entirely seamless. The pool and sauna area was extremely overcrowded during our visit. Towels were left strewn across chairs and along the pool deck, and it did not seem like the space was being maintained at the standard we have come to expect from the Muir. The atmosphere felt more chaotic than relaxing.
There were also a few groups who were quite loud and disruptive, which changed the tone of what is normally a calm and elevated experience. It felt out of step with the usual ambiance of the hotel.
That said, we still genuinely appreciate the property, the quality of the rooms, and the overall experience it typically delivers. This visit felt more like an exception than the norm, and we would certainly consider staying again, hoping to return to the polished and tranquil standard we have experienced in the past.
