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 steameship and hotel chain. The hotels were sold after World War Two, but the Digby Pines and Lord Nelson Hotel remain in operation as important landmarks in Nova Scotia's tourism industry.
