Dominion Atlantic Hotels and Resorts
Beginning with the purchase of the Pines in Digby in 1917, the DAR built a chain of hotels to attract and serve passenger traffic. The DAR hotels were medium-sized but high-class, retaining the classic and elegant style of the giant CPR hotels found across Canada. They helped make the DAR a sort of CPR in miniature with its own connecting steamship and hotel chain. Canadian Pacific Railway hotels in Digby, Kentville and Yarmouth were sold on October 17, 1957 to Hotel and Motel Properties Ltd., a Nova Scotia-registered company for a combined value of $3.5 million. . Lakeside Inn and the Cornwallis Inn were converted into residential use, but the Digby Pines and Lord Nelson Hotel remain as hotels today and are important landmarks in Nova Scotia's tourism industry.
