Ahhh, Prince George, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways!
Mike reserved us a beautiful room on their top Crown floor. King sized bed with duvet covers and down pillows. I spent as much time in that luxurious bed as possible.
This is easily the nicest - and most expensive - hotel in the city. Attentive staff, quiet, clean rooms with all amenities (and Aveda products!), a view of downtown Halifax ... I love this place.
I'm not sure about the rooms on other floors, but on the Crown floor the checkout time is 1 p.m. (as opposed to 11 a.m. almost everywhere else). It was so nice to sleep in and have breakfast brought to our room. I love this hotel and can't recommend it highly enough. -

I decided to treat myself to an overnight stay at the Prince George over Open City weekend so I could stumble to my downtown hotel after a day and evening of merriment, rather than deal with getting back to Dartmouth. It was a fun splurge - I had a deluxe guestroom with king -size bed and a partial view of the Citadel.
It was a nicely-furnished basic room - bed, flat-screen TV, desk, chair, mini-fridge, etc. A Keurig machine with a couple complimentary K-cups was available for morning coffee. I honestly didn't spend a whole lot of awake time in the room, but it did the trick for my needs. However, if I had been planning to spend a little more "me" time in the room, I probably would have been slightly disappointed. For one, there was no bathtub. The shower was gorgeous and spacious, but a decadent bubble bath is one of the things I most look forward to when I stay at a nice hotel. Also, I had been looking forward to room service brunch, but I chose extra sleep instead. Good thing, because the room service options were not plenty on Sunday, but only because it was Mother's Day and the hotel restaurant does a big spread.
The two best things about my stay? The bed and the late checkout time. Seriously folks - sinking into this bed was like floating on big, puffy clouds. Amazing. It was incredibly difficult to get going the next day - I wanted to stay in that bed forever. Luckily, the Prince George has a 1pm checkout time. A hotel after my own heart. With the curtains drawn, the room remained luxuriously dark on a bright and sunny spring morning. I took advantage of both the bed and the checkout time - I think I slept past 11am. Writing this review, I wish I was sleeping in that bed right this second. I need a nap!Listed in: May Day!

I just need to publish a recommendation for a special family event. If you've never been to the Prince George Hotel's Sunday Brunch, you should absolutely go. Not only for the food but because of how well they treated us recently when we went with our young son.
It's $35 worth of heaven per person but it's the experience that makes is so special. Fresh squeezed juice, delicious coffee, servers who whisk away plate after plate. They've got a pasta bar, salads, delicious carved meats, brunch foods (yummy bacon and sausage) and everything from mussels to ribs...
And that's not even getting into the sweets!!! They are out of this world. See my picture from this last Sunday's special treat. Cakes and cookies, muffins and cheesecake. It's an amazing meal and you should definitely call and book your special meal!

I've been to the Prince George for a few weddings and events over the years, but somehow had never experienced their famed Sunday Brunch until this past Father's Day.
Oh. My. Word. It was UNREAL. Never before in my life have I seen so many foods, so many flavors, so many culinary delights all converge in the same place at the same time. Mini burger sliders, Asian chicken wings, smoked salmon, sushi, bacon, bacon and more bacon, Belgian waffles, a fish and chips bar, a construct-your-own icecream sandwich station, a table of desserts to make any sugarphile swoon... and those were only some of the things that I managed to fit on my plate. (Ok, full disclosure, there were at least 3 plates involved, maybe 4). The staff was lovely and attentive; they kept my coffee cup full and didn't make me feel bad for loading up my plate with essentially one of everything. I don't know if The Prince George just pulled out all the stops because it was Father's Day, but I've never experienced anything like it before. And I loved it. The only real drawback is that it's pricey - around $35 per head - but I easily got my money's worth. -

Tucked away on a downtown side street, the Prince George Hotel contains prize swank and a certain bout of exclusivity. Seconds away from anything and everything, the corner of Market Street tends to be off the main route for the bulk of downtown traffic.
I've stayed here a few times, and it struck me as top notch servings. Posh interiors from top to bottom, the framework rests on cordial service and a reasonable lapse in luxury. Cosy white robes, high thread count bedding, breakfast options and crisp surroundings-- the draws are easily in sight.
This seems to be a popular spot for business type affairs, with an in-house boardroom. Less kids, more adults are seen frequenting in and out, although by no means is it unsuitable for families. Downtown neighbours include the Metro Center, Wooden Monkey, Cheers Bar & Pub, The Jade W Book Store, and all the Argyle hotspots just a street below.
A sure bet for those who travel in class, as its got a great mixings of urban quarters. -

Over the course of a few family visits/business trips, I've had the pleasure of living vicariously at 'The Prince George Hotel.' The location and well-kept rooms are certainly enough to encourage me to head back.
The Prince George Hotel is located in downtown Halifax and is minutes away from great restaurants (Wooden Monkey plug), The Neptune Theater as well as the Halifax Metro Center.
Be sure to check the package deals at this hotel over the coming months. For the price of a nice dinner for two: $109+tax you can currently stay for a night and enjoy a king sized bed in one of their luxury suites with continental breakfast. Sounds like a nice vacation even if it is only 20 minutes from home! -

Love this hotel, everyone is really nice and the place was really comfy. but hands down the best Sunday brunch that I have ever eaten in my life. At about 40 per person, I have never seen such an assortment of food in one spot for a brunch. Everything was super fresh and so full of flavor I just about died, fresh squeezed orange juice, smoked salmon, various pasta salads, sushie to die for, lamb, roast, eggs galore, bacon, butter chicken, the best sticky pudding I have ever had, and I am not kidding about 50 more things. I will be going back for this, a reservation was required.
