Ranked up there with top destinations including Mont Tremblant, Whistler, Banff and Niagra Falls, our capital city Halifax is one of the most expensive destinations to stay overnight on New Year’s Eve in Canada according to Cheaphotels.org.
The group’s survey compared the cost of accommodation this coming December 31 across 20 Canadian destinations. For each destination, the price for the cheapest available double room was recorded. Only centrally-located hotels rated at least three stars and with generally positive guest reviews were taken into account.
Mont-Tremblant emerged as the clear leader with a rate of $880 for the least expensive room. Compared to regular winter rates, that’s an increase of almost 300%. Whistler, North America’s largest ski resort, ranks as the second most expensive destination with a rate of $658, while Banff completes the podium with a rate of $563.
Halifax is a close contender ranking just below Niagara Falls and more than any Canadian metropolitan area including Toronto and Vancouver. If you’re staying in Halifax on New Years Eve expect to pay upwards of $465, a 227% increase over regular winter rates. The fact the city is hosting the World Junior Hockey Championship likely has an impact too.
