Holiday Inn Express & Suites Halifax - Bedford - A modern business hotel with indoor pool, meeting spaces, and electric vehicle charging

The property sits minutes from Bayer's Lake Park, Canada Games Centre, and BMO Centre. Modern rooms come equipped with king or queen beds, 42-inch flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, and work desks. An 80-foot waterslide highlights the heated indoor pool area, complemented by a 24-hour fitness center with free weights and cardio equipment. The conference level houses two renovated meeting venues accommodating up to 150 people.

Pros

Pet-friendly accommodations welcome two pets up to 50 pounds combined

Heated indoor pool features an 80-foot waterslide

Conference facilities include modern audiovisual equipment and catering services

Located near IBM Innovation Centre and Halifax Convention Centre

Cons

21.5 miles distance from the airport requires transportation planning

Limited dining options within immediate walking distance

“I find the indoor pool with its 80-foot waterslide to be a standout for families. The complimentary Express Start breakfast also seems like a great way to save time and money. While some past guests have pointed out inconsistencies, the location provides solid access to Halifax's attractions.”
