One waterfront casino hotel in Halifax, well placed for a city break rather than a gaming trip.
Nova Scotia has two casinos, one of which comes with a hotel and sits directly on the Halifax waterfront. The gaming floor is modest by national standards, but the location is the point: you are on the boardwalk, a short walk from the best restaurant strip in Atlantic Canada.
Visitors treating this as a gaming destination will find the floor small. Visitors treating Halifax as the destination and the casino hotel as a convenient, well-located place to stay will get much more out of it.
Ordered by editorial score. Each entry links to the full review.
Gatineau / No. 5 nationally
A Loto-Québec casino on the shore of Lac Leamy, joined by a covered walkway to a 349-room Hilton with a spa and two of the best restaurants in the National Capital Region.
La Malbaie / No. 7 nationally
A compact Loto-Québec floor attached to a grand 1929 Fairmont manor on the cliffs above the Saint Lawrence — the setting is the review.
Montréal / No. 12 nationally
Three thousand slot machines and 110 tables stacked across five levels of the former French and Quebec pavilions from Expo 67, on an island in the Saint Lawrence.
Waterfront location on the boardwalk, ten minutes on foot from the Citadel and the main downtown restaurants.
