Finding a Hotel in Winnipeg
Winnipeg is Manitoba's capital and largest city. It is also one of the fastest growing cities in North America, an important transportation corridor, a cultural centre and the gateway to a beautiful and expansive province.
Tourism traffic, driven primarily by the varied landscape and recreational opportunities, brings an increasing number of people to Winnipeg every year. As a result, a wide range of accommodations have sprung up throughout the city. Tourists can choose a hotel or motel suited to their needs close to the airport and highway, in the bustling downtown district or in a quieter location near rivers and parks.
ARRIVING BY ROAD OR AIR
Winnipeg's history as a trade and transportation corridor is well rooted. The original settlement was founded at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. Once trade was established by water and trails, the railway was built and following that, the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). The Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (commonly known as Winnipeg International Airport) was established in the early 1920's and became an important hub for transportation into Western Canada.
Travellers today typically arrive by road or air, often choosing a convenient accommodation near the airport or highway, especially for short visits. Winnipeg has many hotels specifically designed to meet the needs of these travellers.
The majority of airport accommodations are located on Wellington Avenue and south to Ellice Avenue, only a few minutes' drive from the airport. Many mid-range establishments, including the Hilton Suites and Sandman Hotel, offer services and amenities such as complimentary breakfast, 24-hour airport shuttle service and long-term parking. For those on a short layover, the Four Points by Sheraton is an attractive option as it is a full-service hotel directly attached to the airport.
In addition, those visiting the area on business will appreciate that some hotels are tailored to executives, offering downtown shuttle service, a business centre, meeting rooms and a complimentary high-speed Internet connection. The Victoria Inn and Convention Centre offers these amenities as well as conference facilities.
Visitors and commuters travelling the Trans-Canada Highway often choose to stay at a chain-brand hotel off the highway as they are consistent, clean and comfortable. Amenities and services at budget-friendly hotels such as the Thriftlodge are a welcome respite for visitors on a road trip. Comfortable beds make resting up a real treat and extra amenities such as fridges, microwaves and laundry facilities make it easy to travel light.
Families will appreciate child-friendly accommodations like the Holiday Inn Winnipeg Airport West, which has a pool, child suites and a children's creative centre to keep kids busy. Many chain-brand hotels, including the Clarion Hotel and Suites, have an on-site restaurant and lounge and some even have convenience stores in the lobby.
ENJOYING THE HUSTLE & BUSTLE OF DOWNTOWN
In the heart of downtown Winnipeg at Main Street and Broadway, behind the railway station, lies the meeting place of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. This area, now known as the Forks, is an expansive riverside park and a bustling meeting place packed with stores, markets, restaurants and bars. Special sporting, cultural and historical events take place here throughout the year, including games, markets and festivals.
Several accommodations can be found within walking distance of the Forks but the only one located directly in the district is the Inn at the Forks. Enjoy the day at this boutique-style hotel by visiting the colourful markets outside the hotel, dining in the on-site restaurant and then relaxing with a treatment at the hotel's premier spa facility.
Families will enjoy staying at the Fairmont Hotel, which is close to the many recreational opportunities at the Forks as well as the Manitoba Museum, Manitoba Children's Museum and Provincial Legislature.
A grand experience can be found at the Fort Garry, an iconic hotel worth visiting even if not staying there. This hotel has crowned Winnipeg's centre for almost a hundred years and continues the tradition of elegance and grandeur it began. In addition to the well appointed guestrooms, guests can enjoy gourmet restaurants, an athletic club, European-style spa and a Turkish Roman bath—all on site.
SEEKING A QUIET RETREAT
Recreational visitors often choose to stay in quieter locations, either to enjoy one of the city's many riverside parks or for a quick getaway to adventure outside the metropolis. Grand Beach Provincial Park is just one of the many nearby destinations frequented by relaxed vacationers and sports enthusiasts. Its cool waters and white-sand beaches are a welcome respite from hot Manitoba summers. Other notable destinations include Birds Hill Provincial Park to the north and Beaudry Provincial Park to the west.
The north side of the city offers easy access to many recreational destinations. The Canad Inns Garden City is an excellent choice for families, close to Garden City Park. It features a variety of child-friendly amenities, including an indoor pool, waterslide, arcade, theme rooms and a family restaurant, and is also close to movie theatres and shopping centres.
On Winnipeg's southeast side, the Radisson Hecla Oasis Resort combines luxury and adventure. A European spa, 18-hole golf course and fitness facilities appeal to adults while kids can splash around in the water park.
Many travellers choose to bring their pets on vacation and Winnipeg has several pet-friendly properties. It is advisable to call ahead to confirm this is the case at one's chosen hotel. The Radisson Hecla Oasis Resort is not only pet friendly but boasts a speciality pet spa to pamper the precious furry ones.
