The new Muir Autograph Collection store has opened in the heart of Queen’s Marque in Halifax’s new waterfront district. Marriott Bonvoy’s Autograph Collection Hotels is a diverse and dynamic portfolio of independent hotels whose focus is on individuality.
Stunning Architecture and a Sense of Place
A connection with place is made throughout the property, from local materials like salt-and-pepper granite and sandstone to Muntz metal, which is commonly used in shipbuilding. All of these elements work together to create a design that has an indelible sense of place.
Alessandro Munge of Canada’s Studio Munge created the interiors and furnishings for Muir. A modern interpretation of East Coast design is found throughout the hotel in both custom furniture and custom lighting – all designed and crafted in Canada. With richly textured white oak walls and white oak plank flooring, the 109 rooms and suites provide a subtle nod to ocean voyages, while gathering spaces are highlighted by soft cove lighting and lively fireplaces. We have commissioned landscape paintings, sculptures, photography, ceramics, and tapestries from local artists throughout the property.
Gourmet Cuisine and Cocktails at The Muir Autograph Collection
Inspired by this region’s natural bounty, Drift is a culinary love letter to the land, the people, and the history of Nova Scotia. Anthony Walsh and James MacAulay, Drift’s celebrated chefs, create modern, elevated takes on classic Atlantic Canadian dishes. The spacious bar at Drift is designed for entertaining colleagues or for quiet work. The spacious bar is as unique as Muir itself. Featuring exquisite craftsmanship and premium materials, the dining room is expansive and comfortable, which is complemented by an outdoor patio with breathtaking views of the waterfront. Our floor-to-ceiling marble fireplaces, leather-wrapped walls, bespoke furnishings, and soft lighting give our guests the feeling of lingering and connecting.
