HALIFAX REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY
The Halifax Regional Municipality offers a diverse variety of hotels that range from lavish suites to budget-friendly chains.

The Westin Nova Scotian in downtown Halifax features harbour front views, while the Lord Nelson Hotel and Suites by Spring Garden Road overlooks the city's Victorian-style Public Gardens. Across the harbour in Dartmouth, visitors can admire the lights of downtown Halifax with balcony rooms in hotels like the Holiday Inn Halifax Harbourview. Since the Halifax Stanfield International Airport is a fair drive from the city, travellers with early flights can catch a few extra zzzzs by staying in one of the hotels close to the airport.
CAPE BRETON ISLAND
Captivating highlands, lush green forests, dramatic rocky shores and a vibrant Celtic culture are just a few of the highlights of touring Cape Breton Island. As visitors explore this majestic island they can unwind in a series of hotels and motels. Sydney, which is the island's largest city, offers a wide selection of chain hotels. These properties offer amenities such as complimentary breakfasts, fitness centres, business centres and swimming pools.

SOUTH SHORE REGION
The South Shore Region is home to some of Nova Scotia's most popular attractions such as Peggy's Cove Lighthouse and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lunenburg Old Town. In Peggy's Cove, visitors can fall asleep to the relaxing sound of waves crashing as they stretch out in a variety of accommodations.

Bridgewater, the largest town in the South Shore Region, also features a collection of popular chain hotels and motels.
YARMOUTH & ACADIAN SHORES REGION
Yarmouth, the largest centre in the Acadian Shores Region, serves as the region's hub with its wide selection of attractions, restaurants, shops and Victorian architecture. Visitors can tour such attractions as the curiously-shaped Cape Forchu Lighthouse and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia Western Branch, then retire at night in a range of cozy hotel and motel rooms. Travellers who love accommodation with local history will be intrigued by the Lakelawn Motel in Yarmouth. The Gothic Revival-style house, which is the centrepiece of the Lakelawn Motel, was built on the property in 1864 by local ship owner and merchant William Dodge Lovitt.
FUNDY SHORE & ANNAPOLIS VALLEY REGION
Dramatic seaside views and colourful apple blossoms are among the beautiful Atlantic scenes in the Fundy Shore and Annapolis Valley Region.

The charming Valley communities of Wolfville, New Minas and Kentville welcome visitors with rustic hotels and motels, while visitors to the coastal town of Digby can treat their taste buds to a plate of the succulent scallops the community is famous for, then kick back in luxurious hotels like the Digby Pines and Golf Resort.
EASTERN SHORE REGION
Situated just north of the Halifax Regional Muncipality, but significantly smaller in population, is the photogenic Eastern Shore Region. A hot spot amongst outdoor lovers with its beautiful beaches like Lawrencetown Beach, the Eastern Shore Region is certainly worth touring. In Sherbrooke, visitors can make themselves at home in a bundle of accommodations such as the Sherbrooke Village Inn, which has double and king beds and on-site dining facilities.
