A Blast from the Past
One of the most fun and cheeky design elements of our hotel is the Cannon and the 12:00 Light, which you’ll find in front of the elevators. We salvaged and restored the Cannon, which was used in the past and dates back to the early 1800s. The 12:00 Light is a sign that says “It’s 12 o’clock somewhere”, which is a playful reference to the fact that every day at 12:00 noon, a cannon is fired from the historic Citadel Hill, only a block away from our hotel. The Cannon and 12:00 Light are a blast from the past and a way to celebrate the city’s history and tradition. They are also a reminder that it’s never too early or too late to have some fun at Moxy Halifax.
