Muir anchors the Queen's Marque district on the Halifax waterfront, drawing its character from Nova Scotia's maritime setting, craft traditions and contemporary art scene. The hotel uses stone, wood, original artwork and bespoke furnishings to create a distinctly local sense of luxury rather than a generic urban style. Rooms stay calm and tactile, many with harbour views, while the property adds a private art gallery and waterfront dining. The private art gallery sits beside the waterfront dining room, so the same original artwork found in the rooms extends into the spaces where guests eat and gather.
