What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
One of Canada’s original grand railway hotels, The Fort Garry Hotel still holds its place as a Winnipeg icon.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Union Station sits one block east, and the heritage grounds of Upper Fort Garry are just down Broadway.
The rooms
Original woodwork and high ceilings give the bedrooms an authentic pre-war scale, finished with plush modern upholstery.
The hammam
Bathing rituals in the steam chamber use olive oil washes and salt rubs, followed by mint tea and Turkish delight.
The spa
Tenth-floor treatment rooms host clay wraps and rose oil massages, and a couples suite sits directly in the roof peak.
At the table
The Oval Room Brasserie pours cocktails and serves French bistro fare beneath a restored 1913 domed ceiling.
How it began
The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway modeled the hotel on French châteaux, naming it after the frontier trading post next door.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
