The Fort Garry Hotel, Spa and Conference Centre

I was in Winnipeg for 3 nights/4 days for a conference. The room was standard and had everything you need; loved the high ceilings; beds were very comfortable. The service was top notch and I found the staff went the extra mile to make sure the room was cleaned and taken care of. The front desk staff were always very helpful and professional and were able to store my bags to accommodate a late flight on my last day here. Location was perfect, as it is just across from the forks and close to downtown, allowing me to walk to where I needed to go. Thanks for making my stay in Winnipeg a pleasant one! :)

I had a wonderful time in Winnipeg, but I think there are some things potential guests should know before choosing this hotel, as The Fort Garry was the most disappointing part of our trip. The location, however, was excellent, the showers were quite luxurious, and the fitness area had a great kettlebell selection up to 24kg. 1) I pre-paid in full for five nights three weeks in advance, but after traveling half way across the country, was not permitted to check in until I could find someone to submit a credit card for a pre-authorization hold, as due to timing of payments, mine only had $105 credit at the time. I love being left in the lobby to beg after a full day of travel... especially after I had already paid in full. 2) You can hear everything in the rooms next to you, and the quality of your stay will heavily depend on who your neighbors happen to be. 3) What looks like a complimentary breakfast is 35 dollars. You want a bowl of raisin bran? $35. Dried out frittata sitting in a hot pan? $35. 4) Our bed wasn't particularly comfortable, and seemed to be dished toward the center. 5) When you checkout, you need a paper pass from the front desk in order to leave the parking area. That's right, they lock you in. Good luck.

I stayed at the Fort Garry Hotel for about a month, and it remains one of my best hotel experiences. The historic building has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were consistently attentive throughout my stay. Afterward, I moved to the Residence Tower for a few more months, and the experience stayed just as positive — quiet, comfortable, and very convenient for long‑term living. The amenities here are excellent. The indoor pool and wellness facilities are a real highlight, especially during the winter months in Winnipeg. Indoor parking is easy and reliable, which makes a big difference when the weather turns cold. The location was also perfect for me — just a short walk to Union Station, which made getting to and from work incredibly convenient. Between the spa, the fitness centre, the location, and the overall sense of care from the team, the hotel became a place that genuinely felt like home during my time in the city. I’m grateful for the hospitality and would happily return. Update: Thank you so much for the kind message. I genuinely appreciated the warmth and consistency your team showed throughout my stay. Living at the hotel for that long, it really did become a comfortable home base for me, and I’m grateful for how seamless everything felt day to day. I look forward to staying with you again the next time I’m in Winnipeg.❤️❤️❤️ —H.Z.

Top tier and very professional staff. Everytime we needed help or to request something it was taken care of instantly. The atmosphere was very calm and polished. The entire castle was very clean and stylish, as well as the rooms there. I personally love vintage decor and these rooms did not dissapoint. They looked like something straight out of a movie. I got a massage at the spa and it was wonderful. My masseuse was very good at customizing my massage to what i needed. The food the entire stay was also perfect everytime.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Fort Garry Hotel. The rooms were unbelievably gorgeous—elegant, comfortable, and full of character. The rich history of the hotel truly makes it one of a kind and adds such a unique charm to the entire experience. Breakfast was phenomenal, with excellent quality and service. A special thank you to Eva P. for all the support and care she provided throughout our stay. Her attention to detail and kindness made our experience even more enjoyable. We can’t wait to return!

I had such a wonderful stay at the Fort Garry Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the historic charm and warm, attentive staff made me feel completely at home. The service was exceptional—everyone I interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely eager to help. My room was spotless and incredibly comfortable, and I loved starting my mornings in the beautiful Oval Room—the breakfast and atmosphere were unforgettable. The spa was another highlight, offering a relaxing break that made my stay feel extra special. The décor throughout the hotel is stunning, full of character and thoughtful detail. The location is perfect for exploring downtown. I can’t wait to come back!

I recently stayed at the Fort Garry Hotel, and I absolutely loved my experience. The front desk staff truly stand out—they are incredibly professional, warm, and genuinely hospitable. They are the main charm of the hotel. I even watched them handle difficult guests with patience and a smile, which I deeply appreciate as someone who has worked in the hospitality industry myself. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though they could use a bit of updating. Still, the overall ambiance of the hotel more than makes up for it. Walking through the halls feels like stepping onto a movie set—classic, elegant, and full of character. I’m already looking forward to my next stay at this beautiful hotel.

Overall, the stay was enjoyable. The food was good, and the service was solid. If you stay at the hotel, you may receive extra perks, such as complimentary tickets to Yuk Yuk’s, depending on availability. They will also try to secure restaurant reservations for you. The serving staff were friendly and attentive. The only downside was housekeeping. We didn’t make a mess, but the room cleanup felt rushed—the blanket was simply thrown back on the bed, and it didn’t appear that the towels were replaced. Overall, it’s a great place to stay. One thing to note: some rooms do not have a fridge. I’m not sure if that applies to all rooms, so it’s worth confirming in advance.

Spent first and last nights here of our polar bear adventure in Churchill to the North. This is one of the grand hotels of old with large rooms, halls, etc. that has been fully updated. Spotlessly clean. Great service. Excellent breakfast buffet.

We stayed at this hotel multiple times as we visit yearly for the Festival in February. It's either this hotel or the fairmont. My gf and I love the Hotel Fort Garry's building and restaurants and staff. We unfortunately had a horrible experience this time as 1 of the security member came to our room and told us we were too loud 1 night. Granted we were loud but we stop speaking loud as soon as he told us but he threatened to kick us out as soon as he visited us. We were threaten immediately with no warning and it definitely scared my gf so she doesn't want to stay here anymore. Our two guests left immediately as we were laughing to loud. We all felt he could have dealt with it differently as these walls are super thin. Regardless we won't be returning to this wonderful building anymore as we were treated like scum. He was likely having a bad shift and this is not professional. We spend over 600$ in their restaurants in 4 days so it's not like we aren't enjoying the hotel. The restaurant staff loved us

Beautiful really does not describe this hotel enough. It was more magical if you ask me. It was truly a magical, historic hotel that fit all of our needs. When you first walk up to the hotel, you get a wonderful grand entrance that was so pretty to look at. Once stepping into the hotel, you begin to see the beauty and history right away. I love the openness and how you can see above you. The atrium is beautifully decorated with couches and chairs that really fit the grand, historic theme. We has requested a city view... I'm not sure how much city we were able to see per say, but the room was still so nice. The bed was AMAZING, I mean out of this world comfortable. It was so comfy that I made my husband look at the tag and brand to get the details because I need this at home! It is a historic hotel so there is no fridge in the room or microwave or anything like that, but there is excellent coffee and comfy robes! My only two complaints were the gym and the pool. I did use the gym but it was a little hard to because they apparently let outside parties utilize it too and there was a woman in there being trained by a trainer and they took up the entire side that had weights and things. My other complaint was having to pay to use the pool. We simply didn't but I think when paying the price for the hotel that we did, a free pool should be available. Other than those two small things - this hotel was fabulous and I highly recommend it!

Every bit of contact we had with the staff was amazing. Rooms were clean and nicely furnished. Italian restaurant was great, best focaccia I've ever had.

Stayed one night. Line up at check in was long, waited about 10 minutes in line. The front desk seemed overwhelmed with issues and possibly short staffed due to wedding(s). Upon arriving to my room I could see a pool of water on the nightstand which I wiped up. Upon further investigation, I could see filthy nightstand (see pictures). Clearly hasn't been dusted in at least a week, maybe more. I dusted the headboard with a tissue. I didn't complain to the front desk because they already seemed too busy to handle guests. Upon checkout I showed the video of the metal tray and they asked that I send it to the email address they gave me. They comped my $18 parking as an apology. I received an email back saying they are discussing with housekeeping and they hope I come again. I've stayed 3 times now in the last few years and two out of 3, there were issues with cleanliness. I stay at hotels quite frequently and I've never encountered issues like I do at the fort garry. Due to my allergies I cannot stay there again. The one star is for the one good thing - the shower. It's a rainfall shower and it's wonderful. The staff I dealt with in person were nice too. I just wish they would clean the damn rooms! I have a video which shows the amount of dust on the metal tray, not sure if it will post here but I'll put it on other sites.

Atrium is beautiful. That's it My room was a corner room. Not impressive view. Stairwell blocked due to wet paint and I guess outside my room was the junkyard for broken appliances? I asked about a pool - I can go next door, pay $9 but they wouldn't be open for 2 days Dinner, you ask? I went to the 1/2 empty restaurant and they were booked solid - I was offered to sit at the teeny bar ( I'm an alcoholic try to avoid those scenes) OR I was more than welcome to eat anywhere here -as hostess sweeps here hand around the lobby. WTF? Dinner was $50 USD. Update I'm back here for return flight out of Winnipeg (would not have chosen, but it was part of the tour package). Room 205 There is trash outside my room and I can hear the elevators.

I love this beautiful historical hotel. The restaurant is wonderful and our stay was amazing. If you go I recommend the meatloaf. I know what you're thinking but trust me the meatloaf is the best I have ever had!

The Old Gray Mare Ain't What She Used to Be. We were told that this was the best hotel in Winnipeg. If so, there is a very low bar to achieve that. This was a grand old hotel built during the hay day of the railroads. It was designed to impress guests with power and wealth of the railroads and the elegance and prestige of travel by rail. It's a good location especially if you are traveling by rail. The hotel staff are friendly and reasonably efficient. Our bags were in our room by the time we finished check in. The lobby and public areas maintain much of their original grandeur. That is where the good stuff ends. Upper Floors and Rooms The hallways were done in darker shades of gray that gave me the impression of dungeon. They are dark and quite dreary. The rooms are in the same shades that seem depressing. The furniture was probably chosen to keep a 1920's feel. The problem is that wrought iron bed steads make reading or watching TV in bed a challenge. There is no comfortable position. Storage space is limited as are electrical outlets The bathroom seems to have updated last in the 1990's. The ceramic tiles had been drilled and patched a number of times. The random designs are those typical seen in home design magazines 40 years ago. Again, counter space and store space are limited. Towel racks and other wall fixtures were of a very cheap variety--think entry level Walmart style. Some were falling off the wall. Food. Food at the Fort Gary would be called mediocre, if we gave it the benefit of the doubt. The breakfast buffet is very poor. The egg dishes were an imitation of Benedict of Florentine. Those dishes really need to be prepared fresh, not allow to sit in a buffet tray for half an hour. The Benedict sauce had no flavor. The English muffins were soggy and stuck to the bottom of the pan. Really, scrambled eggs would have been a vast improvement. The Oval Room does not do any better for dinner. Food is overcooked, overpriced and under flavored. I had a $55 veal chop that I asked to cooked rare. It came medium well, and that was how they left it. We did two group dinners in a private room. The quality of the food...well, I risk repeating myself. It took staff about half an hour to serve a salad. Then it took another full 60 minutes to serve entrees. That was after our hosts went to the kitchen to see what the problem was. Many of our colleagues did not bother to finish the meal. My advice is to check out other hotels in the downtown area. You have to be able to find better.

Very very disappointed.Me and the fam jam came here to have a blast. What blasted were my brains when i walked into this hotel.For starters,a human pounced out at me,growling. I'm a positive polly,but when i see that,i turn into a grumpy greta. I do not support that kind. It wasent even an animal!Anywho,the floors had carpet,who does that???My hubby has poor leg pain,you think he liked the feeling of that?Get better.

As we pulled up to our home away from home I had a pretty good feeling about this place. Because just the curb appeal alone just gave me the poshest vibe. Be forewarned, do prepare to carry your rollaboard up the stairs. Let's do the room shall we. I adore the whole art deco motif. The weathered chuncky plank wood floors to the iron headboard. Also some touches of modern stuff like the lucite work table. The bed is super comfortable... what else... the bathroom!! OMG I about died when I saw that the amenities are all L'Occitane!! Lotion, Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash, all L'Occitane! To a brand whore like me, this is heaven. Definitely enjoyed my L'Occitane bubble bath. Weeeeee!! The whole facility is really nice. I even got to enjoy their fitness center. A level above it is the pool and steam room. The staff is super nice. Everything is super clean. My stay was definitely super delightful. I would love to come and stay here again in the near future. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!!

We took a few day family trip to Winnipeg and I stayed at the Fort Garry Hotel for the following reasons: - wanted a downtown location - my kids wanted a hotel with a pool - I knew this type of hotel (old & historic & grand) would be a different experience The kids were amazed at the size and grandeur of the hotel when we pulled up. Once on our floor, you see that the hallways are wide and the walls, doors, etc. are probably original or at least very old. The room blends modern & old, with comfortable wrought-iron beds and a big TV. The bathroom was white tile on the floor and walls; and while the countertop was dated, it all fit the old theme well. The delivery of coffee/tea/cookies to your room each morning (after filling out a card) was a nice touch. We've heard others talk about how good their breakfast is, but we did not eat at hotel. For the downtown location, we found it was surprisingly very easy to get to from coming from the south on I-29 in the U.S. and Hwy 75 in Canada. That highway brings you within one block on Broadway. The location is a 10 minute walk to The Forks and Museum of Human Rights - which are both musts for a Winnipeg. Other than that, we were slightly disappointed with the downtown. Hopefully it's going through a revitalization (we saw some construction) but it was somewhat dirty with little activity. At least in the areas we went exploring to which covered a large section north and west. But we would stay there again. It's hard for me to go to a city and stay in the suburbs.

I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. On the last evening, my truck was broken in to. The manner of how this was dealt with was horrible. The hotel staff offered to secure my vehicle which I accepted the offer. They decided to steal items from my vehicle. I did not authorize anything to be removed from the vehicle. They admitted stealing the item, apologized and were going to mail it to me. It has never arrived. They are now ignoring me.

We had a great stay at the Fort Garry. The beds were very comfortable and the room was spacious. It was a relaxing evening where we had dinner at the hotel. The waiters were very polite. Overall very nice hotel. There was a large wedding reception happening on the floor above and this disturbed us a few times during the night however we were compensated for it. We would definitely recommend staying here.

The hotel is beautiful. The room is a little small and you can not make tea in the room nespresso machine. Pillows were too fat and soft for me. Power plugs were very well thought out. It is good for a short stay.

Gorgeous historic hotel in downtown Winnipeg. Check in and valet staff were impeccable and we felt more than welcomed upon arrival. I was absolutely blown away by our 2 room suite, with full dining room and living space. Bathroom was a tad outdated, but the bedroom more than made up for it and I felt like I was sleeping in a 1920's mansion. Since our stay really only called for about 6 hours of sleeping, we opted to skip the bar downstairs (which I hear is quite lively...with an older crowd).

I'd recommend The Fort Garry to anyone. It's an absolutely gorgeous hotel and the beds are so, so comfortable. Oh, and the rooms have robes in them so you can feel extra fancy. Allegedly the hotel is haunted. I stayed in the room next to the haunted room (202) but didn't have any ghostly visitors. Maybe next time.

Beautiful building!! Took my nephew and my mom to Winnipeg for a weekend and wanted them to have a nice experienced and this hotel definitely gave them the experienced I wanted them to have. My nephew enjoyed it so much that he said that coming to Winnipeg and staying at this hotel was the highlight of our vacation )we were vacationing at ND and MN). The room we had had 2 double beds and the room was very spacious. I was also impressed with the bathroom! So white and clean!! The beds were comfortable but I think the bed frames needed to be changed as they make a lot of squeaky sounds but I didn't mind because the beds were comfortable!

We stayed there in December and were shocked to see the way they redecorated the lobby and the Palm Lounge. We had dessert there and were seated at a table in the lobby, which was full of people and noisy, so we had no privacy. We were very disappointed that they have done away with the live entertainment as well. The Palm Loubge has been a venue for lice entertainment forever and many people went there for the opportunity to see local musicians perform. We were told by an employee that people didn't want live entertainment there but find that hard to believe. Hopefully they will get complaints and will bring back the live entertainment. The lobby and restaurant have been decorated in a boring modern way, which destroys the luxurious atmosphere of the old CP hotels. Very disheartening.

I stayed Tuesday night at the Fort Garry. It's a lovely old hotel ... almost 100 years old. Apparently there are ghosts but I didn't see/hear any. I had a cute pink room with a very comfy feather bed with five pillows (and two more in closet). There are big heavy robes in the closet, wrapped in plastic to ensure their cleanliness. The shower was great ... lots of pressure (surprising for such an old building) and a rainfall showerhead. Breakfast was included in my room rate ($129). I was expecting cereal and muffins, which there were. But there was also an omelet bar . Yesterday's "Omelet of the Day" was seafood. I had a couple fried eggs ... I've never seen such yellow yolks. The chef and I had a great conversation about food as he was getting them ready. On the side I had peameal bacon and hashbrowns. Yum! If you park your car yourself in the back, it's $12 a night. For $5 more, you can have it valet parked (which I did) which I thought was reasonable. Considering how cold it was yesterday when I was ready to go, it was nice to have my car brought around and toasty warm when I got inside. The Forks Market (shopping and restaurants right on the river) is a five minute walk away. My only complaint is the Internet. Most hotels these days have free WIFI or charge your room. Here you have to buy it from a third party provider and it's not very fast.

Solid three star accommodations in The Peg. Nice view overlooking the Forks, the main tourist hub of the town. The hotel is one of the grand Railway hotels built in the Golden age of railway travel in the early 1900s. It is an amazing gothic baronial style, complete with a grand two story lobby and ballroom on the 7th floor. In terms of amenities, the hotel is connects to a condo and they share a fitness centre together with a massive pool. Only downside is the corridors are a bit dated and could do with a refresh of the paint and carpets. The rooms are perfectly fine.

Loved this hotel. Historic site, walking distance to Forks Market. The rooms were very cozy and well appointed. Very comfortable beds. Beautiful bar area for good cocktails and appetizers. The included breakfast was really wonderful with two chefs attending to individual orders and fresh pastries as well as pretty much everything you could ask for.

Excellent!!! Not to be missed if your visiting Winnipeg or if you live here. The staff is always extremely helpful and friendly, such a pleasure to be greeted by anyone who works there. I've stayed here multiple times, and each time is excellent. I've been in hotels and spas around the world. The TEN SPA has the most incredible services and I've had them all! I only wish I lived closer.

The place to stay if you are visiting Winnipeg! Intelligent and kind staff. Clean and unique room. The bar/restaurant on the main level had a variety of great taps, wines and liquors. They also had a live band. Walking distance to the Forks. Complimentary coffee and tea in the morning. Rave reviews about the breakfast.

Probably one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in a hotel! The food was very good. The hotel staff were so helpful and friendly I'll definitely be back. Also walking distance to the forks and the Canadian museum of human rights .

Worst customer service ever. Having made a reservation as we plan for a funeral; the terms of the reservation were not identified as non-changeable. Coming from California we looked for a hotel. Less than 18 hours later we found that the hotel was not in a great location for the funeral and requested a cancellation. We spoke with the hotel for 2 hours and were told that even though the change was requested less than 18 hours after the booking and more than 3.5 weeks in advance of the booking. The hotel said there was no compassion or flexibility to their clients suffering through a death in the family. Being a platinum Marriott member I would never recommend this hotel. Having travelled on 5 continents this is not a hotel I would recommend.

This hotel is AMAZING and fairly reasonably-priced by US standards. For my cousin's wedding, my family stayed in a huge suite for the weekend. It included two bedrooms, a dining room, a living room, etc. Apparently Robin Williams had "lived" in this same suite for a couple of months while filming a movie! The wedding was held in the huge upstairs ballrooms and was gorgeous. The food was also phenomenal both at the wedding and at brunch in their restaurant the next day. Even the hotel gym was perfect! The only thing I could possibly complain about is that you could hear loud noises such as loud music in our room. However, this usually wasn't much of a problem as our family was producing most of the noise anyways...

The Fort Garry Hotel is a historic Grand Railway Hotel in Downtown Winnipeg, and only a block from Union Station. It was built in 1913 by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, and was the tallest structure in the city when it was completed. I haven't actually stayed here, but the last time I was here I walked through, hung out, and otherwise tried to soak up the luxurious history of this place. That hits you right at the beginning as I climbed the grand exterior staircase and entered the huge main lobby through those cool doors. Also take a look at the brass mailbox beside the elevators. It is original to the hotel, as are the mail chutes on each floor into which guests could drop their letters. It is also rumoured that a ghost sometimes inhabits Room 202 or might otherwise be seen floating down a hallway.

Historic hotel in downtown Winnipeg with awesome public spaces and large rooms, but only "so-so" in terms of the actual room decor, bathroom facility, etc. It feels like whenever they did their most recent room remodel they "ran out of money" when it came to the actual rooms. The tile in the bathroom seems old/dated, the lighting sort of harsh, and there was a constant drip from my faucet. The shower itself was dark (no light above it) and the pressure was only "OK". Again, the room was quite large, the bed and bedding comfortable, but the decor seemed out of place for such a grand and historic hotel. It's like they were trying to be modern but ended up only going part of the way. I was here for a business trip, and a number of us (all using Macs) had problems with the wifi. They were nice enough to install a hub in the conference room we were using so we could wire in via ethernet, but it seems like having Wifi that actually works for everyone would be the norm. And a couple of my colleagues reported problems with the temperature control. Breakfast was good, but pretty pricey. Hotel restaurant/bar closes pretty early, at least compared to some other places I've gone. I do also appreciate that they'll deliver free coffee to your room during breakfast hours, and within just a few minutes. If I were going back to Winnipeg I'd consider staying here again, but I'd keep my expectations in check and wouldn't want to pay too much.

Hotels often claim to be haunted as a marketing gimmick. It's been par-for-the-course for any older non-chain hotel ever since The Shining. I used to think that the perpetual snowblindness amongst the population of Manitoba was somewhat responsible for the repeated visions of ghouls and goblins reported at this local treasure. But not anymore. The last time I was there, I was truly amongst the walking dead. Zombie humans who were partaking in the sunday feast. A smorgasbord of options for brunch that quite literally fills the lobby from end to end. They serve Kangaroo. God only knows where they get the fresh Kangaroo meat, as this species does not immediately seem indigenous to the Prairies. Whatever the case, I woke up screaming in the middle of the night. A glowing vision of a Mortified Marsupial towering over me. Cursing me for eating her spawn. Well worth a visit. The most interesting hotel in this part of the world.

This hotel is quite dated, but it has a bit of charm to it. It feels like a real hotel with an old school lobby and even though it's old and has a weird dilapidated staircase they hide behind curtains, I thought it was pretty nice. My bed was insanely soft, and not in a good way. I would sink right into it and it was horrible for my back. I raised the issue and they brought in a "bed board" to firm up the bed for me. It was too big for the bed, but not a big deal. It was just a little bed for one person. I got a room for one adult, so that's fine. Would I have liked a bigger bed? Yes, but it was a small, cheap room. The room did not have anything like a fridge, so saving leftovers (and money) was out of the question. No coffeemakers, but they brought fresh coffee, skim milk and biscotti to me every morning. I filled out a little card that I left on my door and woke up to fresh and a newspaper, which I loved. It's little things like that I appreciated. They also don't give you those tiny little shampoo bottles. There's just a pump so you can use what you need. I thought it was super convenient that they had a little "gift shop" open until 2am that sold water, candy, snacks, etc. The restaurant inside the lobby was also not bad. The oarking was fine -- the lower level underneath is really cramped but I thought the upper level was fine. Everyone was extremely nice, except for one guy. He was supposed to be running the gift shop and seemed very annoyed I needed to buy water when he locked it and disappeared. I asked the front counter if I could buy some water and they found him to open up the shop and he was downright pissy when I asked him how much stuff cost. Importantly, the wifi worked very well, which made me happy.

Charming hotel and I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said except... I set the smoke alarms off with the steam from my shower. That has never happened before and I've stayed in LOTS of hotels.It was a little bit embarrassing.

Gem of a hotel in downtown Winnipeg. Staying here was like taking a step back in time, and I loved all the character details that make this hotel so special. Yes, the rooms are a little old, but this is part of the charm. Personal highlights included the service, which was comparable to staying a Fairmont. We were in town for a wedding, and the front staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The food exceeded my expectations in the restaurants too. Definitely try the Reuben sandwich if you're from out of town - it's meat-lover's paradise, complete with a juicy dill pickle. The meatloaf at the Palm court was delectable, and the omlettes for breakfast were also great. Personal FAV was the spa! They have a full Turkish hamam style spa on the 10th floor, which is like stepping into a palace and being treated like a queen. We paid just to use the amenities and had the most amazing time. But I would urge you not to order any food at the spa, the salad that cost $20 tasted like it had sat in the fridge for 3 months. I don't like to send food back, but had to make an exception. Also loved the hotel's choice of putting l'Occitaine products in the room, what a treat. Areas for improvement: The gym was pretty dirty. Lots of equipment, but it could seriously use a wipe down. The service in the Palm Court was really slow. It took serious effort to get a second cocktail. Otherwise, an awesome stay. We will be back!

Historic hotel with a modern touch The Fort Garry was a beautiful hotel. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful with any questions. The room was cozy and most importantly COMFORTABLE. Bathrooms were stocked with full-sized L'Occtiane products and cotton robes for lounging. Room service was quick and delicious from the Palm Lounge downstairs (I recommend the mushroom quesadillas and pecan pie.) This hotel has a lot of history, since it was built in 1913. If you're a stickler for modern hotels you probably shouldn't stay here, BUT if you really want to appreciate a touch of elegance at a historical site of Canada -- Look no further, this is the place. Note - It's also close to The Forks, one of the most popular destinations in Winnipeg. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

I was quite pleased with my stay here. The hotel is historic and beautiful, but with that comes some quirks of old hotels. The rooms are smaller and the one I was in didn't have good water pressure and only got hot water from the sink. The breakfast was very delicious and the gym was great!

Simply the nicest hotel I've ever had the pleasure of staying in. Beautiful, old fashioned rooms, increduble service, and wonderful staff. The bed was also the nicest bed I've ever slept in. It ruined my bed for me! The hotel's age impedes it from the kind of features you'll find at a Hilton or similar, but the hotel more than makes up for it. Examples: when I called down for ice I mentioned that I was expecting a mini fridge, so I they sent up a mini fridge! There is no coffee maker in the room, so that staff has you fill out a card about how you take your coffee, and fresh coffee and biscotti is put outside your room in the morning, whenever you ask it to be there. 10/10

I love this hotel. I'm so many ways it's unchanged from the past but very current in terms of service and luxury. So wonderful and a great location-a throw back to when people stayed there while traveling by train. Great room and great service. I loved it.

The hotel is beautiful, outside and in. Historic. We were in what looked to me as a newly renovated room. The reason for losing the 5th star is the bathroom was dated and not part of the remodel. It was odd. The staff were incredible, the room was quiet, and the bed was comfy. The food was good. We had lunch at the Palm Lounge and the food was good but the staff was overwhelmed. Bread and butter came with the meal versus tiding is over during the wait for it. Great hotel, city is amazingly friendly. Had a great stay.

It's a beautiful place with lots of history but I found it to be overpriced for what you actually got.

Food ***** - Service ***** - Ambience *** The food here is Ammmazzzing !!! The pizzas were one of the best pizzas I even had. Their breakfast is the best that I have had among all the hotels I have stayed in. The rooms are very old since its a very old hotel. But they were reasonably comfortable. Restaurant- Strongly recommended Rooms - not so much.. lol

I was at this hotel for a Tea & Tulips fashion show to support Women Business Owners and Breast Cancer. The ballroom we were in was elegant and decorated beautifully. I have been to many events at this hotel and the atmosphere is always gorgeous. We were served lunch. The salad was fresh with a tangy dressing. The main course was super tender, moist chicken with a delicious au jus, carrots and mini potatoes. The dessert was not my favorite but they get props for being unique... It was a poached pear with a bittersweet chocolate sauce and a personalized Fort Garry dark chocolate. This hotel is always a first choice to turn any event into a chic, classy spectacle. Perfect Sunday afternoon!

Love this hotel! stay here a lot with work and every time has been great. Excellent, friendly staff. The room delivered coffee and bisects is such a nice touch to this classic charm. You can leave your order or you door for delivery the next morning, or text in. Rooms are classic, clean and comfortable. The gym attached to the hotel is an athletic club. With full pool and steam room. Plus self tanning beds. There's a connivence store located around from the lobby. Good sandwiches and the basics. Haven't eaten in the restaurant but hear it's good. Highly recommend this hotel, plus the history is amazing...watch for ghosts.

Palm lounge says its open until midnight. It closes at 10pm. Very poor for a legendary place to mot keep its site updated. Visiting from abroad and highly disappointed

The Fort Garry is a beautiful hotel, inside and out. The lobby and the bar/lounge area are both striking rooms. Sure, as some of the reviews said, the wallpaper isn't perfect, but the bathroom tile was pretty, the shower pressure was AWESOME, and the room was as clean as expected. Having computers in the lobby available for customer use was a nice touch, too. The valet was very accomodating when I left something in my car, and Autumn at the front desk was extremely helpful and polite. The pillows were way too soft for my liking, and I wish I had known the pool area was under construction and unavailable. The price of the room was a little off-putting, but after seeing so many sketchy looking hotels in the area, paying more for a nicer place just made sense.

I was here for a conference. The hotel staff is unbelievably courteous, helpful and friendly. I stayed for six days so I had numerous encounters. The spa is amazing. I got the very best deluxe pedicure. The location is perfect near the human rights museum, the forks, and the train station. Beautiful accommodations.

This hotel is one that prides itself on offering nice, modern service while not compromising on its historic character. In the battle between what's nice and what's rustic, the rustic unfortunately wins out. There are a lot of small updates that could be made that wouldn't compromise the character of this place but that would make it better. Just because it's a 100-year-old hotel doesn't mean there have to be ancient, smelly, dingy armchairs in the rooms. A decent, complimentary wi-fi network would bring this place up to technological par with most other 21st-century hotels. The public areas downstairs are well-maintained and nice, and there are some old-school touches like 24-hour coffee/tea service. I couldn't help thinking what a truly awesome place this would be with just a little tasteful, restrained modernization.

I booked an upgraded suite along with the Romance Package for my son for his wedding night. I filled out the form and sent my credit card info. When they arrived there was no valet service, they had to go find someone then was told they needed to get their luggage up to the room on their own. At the front desk they had were told that even though they had the confirmation they would have to provide their own credit card to get the room. I called the front desk and told them that this was prearranged and to use my credit card. After a very rude conversation I was told that now is not the time to discuss this and he hung up. This took about 15 minutes with his new bride standing there with the luggage in her wedding gown. In the end they had to use their own credit card to get into their room. Very disappointed in their staff!

I went for a conference and was pleased with the hotel and its facilities. The value is very good, prices very affordable and staff are excellent. Only negative is that you have to pay for WIFI & even when you do, very slow Internet at hotel. Bar was great, staff there excellent & great nightly entertainment. If I ever had to go back to Winnipeg, this is the place I would stay at,

Stayed overnight for a business trip. I didn't love my stay here. It was okay, but its one of those places where they make you feel like you are an imposition, not a guest. It took the front desk forever to check in/out even though the line was almost nonexistent. There was this Sunday brunch buffet in the lobby and seemingly all over the place that was very odd if you were someone just staying at the hotel. The breakfast place is ODD and the hostess seated someone ahead of me, and almost did it again before I pointed out I was ahead of the folks she was about to seat. The place is clean, the room was comfortable. My stay was just barely fine overall - I'd look for another place to stay if I were in the area again.

LOVE! We can't wait to go back! The rooms are very beautiful, comfortable, and modern. We stayed for 2 nights, and we were so impressed. First night, our room was very modern and comfortable with an amazing shower accompanied by amazing shampoo and conditioner. We ordered room service which was super quick, and the coffee, tea, and cookies were amazing. It was also very hot in Winnipeg when we went but the hotel has great AC! Sheets and bed were amazing. Seriously, come here and you won't regret it.
