Fort Garry Hotel

Winnipeg


Winnipeg history radiates from this locally owned 1913 limestone grande dame of a hotel, built as one of Canada's château-style railway stopovers. The grand foyer embodies the hotel's spirit: look for historical photographs lining the walls. There's an extensive breakfast and an excellent spa, too, and the faux-fur throws on the rooms' high beds hark back to Winnipeg's trapper heritage.
