Moxy Hotels, part
of Marriott Bonvoy's portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, announced
the opening of Moxy Halifax Downtown, marking the brand’s debut in Canada.
True to the brand’s experiential voice, the hotel boldly reinvents the
traditional hotel stay with vibrant guest experiences and lively, sociable
service.
Located
in Halifax, the rapidly growing coastal city in Atlantic Canada, the new
160-room hotel is easily accessible to Halifax’s vibrant downtown scene and
just steps away from a lively mix of great shopping, spas, galleries, parks,
concert venues, and sporting attractions.
“As
we continue to grow our global portfolio, introducing the spirited Moxy brand
to Canada with the opening of Moxy Halifax Downtown is a milestone we are
excited to celebrate,” said Matthew Boettcher, Vice President of Distinctive
Select Brand Portfolio, Marriott International. “Halifax is a city full of
energy, culture, and diversity, making it the perfect destination for a brand
like Moxy.”
Architecture,
Design + Amenities
The
design of the main lobby pays homage to industrial Halifax, with steel bridge
columns flanking the bar area, exposed brick, and an original cannon. It also
features a custom-built DJ booth and an installation of vintage luggage as a
nod to the city’s global influences. Among the hotel’s notable details is a
stately steel lion sculpture, a reference to the Nova Scotia flag, installed at
the hotel entrance and created by local firm, Ballast Design Studios. A hidden
room, the ‘Lion’s Den’, is a modern dedication to the Trinty Anglican Church on
the original site and features stained glass replicas and pipes from the
original organ suspended from the ceiling.
The
perfect combination of function and fun, the hotel features smart and unique
guestroom layouts, including 18 suites with an open kitchen. The
industrial-chic bedrooms combine functionality and flexibility with edgy
detail. Cleverly designed to maximize space, the rooms feature modular
furniture including Moxy’s signature Stellar Works foldable workspace desks and
chairs, as well as smart features like peg walls to allow guests the
flexibility to adapt the room to their needs. Tech-savvy touches include motion-activated
LED lights, keyless entry, 55-inch flat-screen TVs, and complimentary Wi-Fi
help, in addition to a retro phone where guests can listen to a themed bedtime
story to doze off in style. For fitness, guests can access a boxing bag, gym
equipment, and a full-circuit gym, available 24/7.
Eat,
Drink + Play
Staking
a place in Halifax’s iconic food and beverage community, Moxy Halifax
Downtown’s new drinking and small plate dining concepts are unpretentious and
laid-back yet still modern and stylish - creating a new destination for
Halifax’s vibrant social scene. Bar Moxy is a haven for working and
connecting during the day and transforms into a social hub in the evening.
Partnering with local brands including rotating taps and a wine-o-matic to
feature local wineries, guests can choose from an extensive list of cocktails,
wines, and local brews. For guests looking for quality and convenience, Moxy
Pick-Ups offers 24/7 grab-and-go snacks and drinks.
Meetings
+ Events
For
events and corporate gatherings, the hotel will offer 1,520 square feet of
open, airy meeting space as well as a boardroom and several private meeting
rooms. There are also plenty of stylish communal spaces where guests can relax
and recharge.
