Welcome to The Sutton Place Hotel Halifax. My name is James, and I am the Chef Concierge.

I am also a member of Les Clefs d’Or, an organization of professional hotel concierges. There are over 4,000 concierges in this prestigious federation, and I am proud to be the only member in the Atlantic Region.

It’s December and the holidays are fast approaching. For those looking for a unique gift for “that special someone”, or maybe a treat for yourself, you need to check out 7 Virtues Perfume Atelier. Located on the waterfront in The Queens Marque, this is the only shop of its kind in North America and is inspired by the perfume shops of France. More than just a shop…it’s an experience.

Booking your session online is easy (or I can assist with that 😊). You will be greeted by the knowledgeable staff and will be given a brief tour and overview about what to expect. Then you can browse the various scents available throughout the boutique. Choose your favourites. These favourites will then be expertly blended to create your very own unique scent. You even get to choose the packaging and the name! Just like that, in 45 minutes you have your very own perfume. A perfect gift.

7 Virtues enhances the experience with complimentary mocktails on Wednesday afternoon (4pm-7pm) and Afternoon Tea every Sunday. Private events are available and would make a great team-building exercise, bachelorette party or pre-brunch activity.

Check them out at: 1709 Lower Water St.

11am-7pm, 7 days a week

Please tap the concierge button on your phone or stop by the lobby and see me if I can further assist.

Enjoy Halifax!
