With a fresh new look that compliments its unique urban lake location and major renovations behind it, the first phase of the Best Western Chocolate Lake Hotel at 20 St. Margaret's Bay Road, Halifax is open for business.
Pacrim Hospitality Services Inc. of Halifax manages the property and CEO Glenn Squires says "the $10 million transformation from a building severely damaged by Hurricane Juan four years ago to a signature hotel for Halifax, is dramatic and impressive." The first three guest floors in the main tower offering king and double queen bedded rooms with lake views and the public areas are now open and welcoming guests. The Wooden Door Bistro full-service, casual dining as well as the banquet and meeting facilities will have all finishing touches completed by month's end, and be ready to deliver a new hospitality experience for Halifax.
Experienced hotelier, Joe McGuinness is General Manager of the Best Western Chocolate Lake Hotel. "This hotel adds a new dimension to the hospitality landscape in this city offering a country escape in the heart of Halifax with full amenities and a casual atmosphere," he said. Some 150 residents of the Chocolate Lake area who have watched with anticipation as the project took shape received a Neighbourhood Sneak Peek on October 9, 2007 and "their response was overwhelmingly enthusiastic". Best Western Chocolate Lake's resident chocolate Labrador Retriever, Cocoa, is proving to be one of the property's most popular "staff members".
From the fireplace in the marble lobby to treats for family pets; from complimentary high speed internet and On-Command Movies to a 100 percent smoke-free environment, the Best Western Chocolate Lake Hotel promises to be satisfying guest experience.
The hotel is owned by Aquilini Group Properties LP of Vancouver, British Columbia.
