What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Set in a peaceful pocket near downtown Winnipeg, No. 5 East feels more like a well-run guesthouse than a traditional B&B.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Armstrong's Point curves along the Assiniboine River, lined with century-old homes and quiet gates minutes from downtown.
The rooms
Suites come with kitchenettes and walk-in showers, and the Willow Suite adds a four-poster bed and private balcony.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
Spa and hot tubs
Two basement treatment rooms host massage appointments, and outdoor hot tubs sit in the backyard.
At the table
Breakfast is laid out on the kitchen island, and guests gather at the long wooden table for espresso and pancakes.
How it began
Former Winnipeg mayor Thomas Ryan built the house in 1906. It later served as an artists' commune and nursing home.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
