The dual-branded Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Dartmouth and Residence Inn by Marriott Halifax Dartmouth presents a contemporary hospitality design that integrates two distinct hotel experiences within a unified architectural form, connected by a central glazed atrium that brings daylight deep into the interior and creates a strong visual identity. Located in Dartmouth Crossing, the approximately 196-room development is designed to accommodate both short-term and extended-stay guests, combining the efficiency of Courtyard’s business-oriented rooms with the suite-style accommodations of Residence Inn. The building’s massing is articulated through a clean, modern façade of light cladding, punched windows, and a prominent glass volume, while the ground level emphasizes transparency and accessibility with a clearly defined shared entrance and active public spaces. Amenities such as a fitness centre, meeting facilities, and a large indoor pool with waterslide support both leisure and corporate use, reinforcing the project’s role as a flexible, amenity-rich destination within a growing commercial district
