Highlights

  • Elegant Rooms: Many of the rooms feature period furnishings and sweeping views of the city or river, blending classic charm with modern comfort.

  • Ten Spa: Located on the hotel’s top floor, this full-service spa is a peaceful urban retreat offering treatments, steam showers and a tranquil relaxation lounge.

  • The Palm Lounge: A Winnipeg institution with live jazz, classic cocktails and old-world atmosphere. Ideal for an aperitif before heading out – or settling in for the evening.

Good to know

How do we get there?

The Fort Garry Hotel is around 20-30 minutes from the airport in Winnipeg, or, if you are arriving by train from Churchill, it is a 5 minute walk.

 

Are children welcome?

Children of all ages are welcome at Fort Garry, although the dining room is perhaps best suited to older guests (there are plenty of options nearby if necessary).

Giving back

The Fort Garry Hotel holds a third-party sustainability certification through Green Key Global, a leading eco-rating body in the hospitality sector. Their environmental efforts are broad and ongoing, with a clear focus on reducing impact while maintaining high standards of guest experience.

Key initiatives include:

  • Waste Reduction: The hotel has phased out single-use plastics where possible and has increased recycling across guest and service areas, including paper, cardboard and other materials.

  • Energy Efficiency: A connected building management system allows the hotel to monitor and optimise heating, cooling and ventilation. This has led to a 20% reduction in energy use across key areas of the property.

  • Water Conservation: Water-saving measures include the installation of low-flow toilets and real-time utility tracking to identify and reduce excess consumption.

  • Community and Local Impact: The hotel’s approach to sustainability extends beyond operations, with an emphasis on supporting the local community and protecting the surrounding environment.

While the hotel celebrates its grand heritage, it also looks ahead – integrating thoughtful, practical sustainability into the day-to-day running of this historic landmark.
