Elgin Hall happens to be a historic property that sits amidst a scenic natural landscape in Dalhousie. However, the hotel was originally built in 1857 and named after a British colonial administrator and diplomat, Lord Elgin. Today, it’s a charming, historic property that echoes the reminiscent scent of past lavishness with some revamped contemporary touches. Hence, most spaces around the resort are inspired by the Victorian era, through design.
Getaways have always been about connecting to inner selves and being tucked away from the hustles of the main city. Even, the exteriors of the property make it a perfect spot for lazy brunches and enjoying tete-a-tete barbeques and high tea. How beautiful will it be to unwind and relax with a soothing cup of tea amid a green locale?
