Overview

Located in downtown Winnipeg

Rooms beginning to show age, according to some recent guests

Sitting in lively downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba, the Fairmont Winnipeg offers travelers enviable access to the city's shops and restaurants. Apart from its location, recent guests were also pleased with the Fairmont's gracious staff, which they said anticipates every customer's needs. But the Fairmont Winnipeg didn't leave a stainless impression on recent lodgers: Some guests commented that the guest rooms, appointed with flat-screen TVs, coffee makers and feather pillows, are starting to show signs of wear and tear. Recent visitors highly recommend reserving a room on the 18th or 19th floor, which provides visitors with Fairmont Gold perks, such as private lounge access and complimentary continental breakfasts. Recent travelers recommended capping off your day with a drink at the lounge and a meal at the Velvet Glove Restaurant, which serves up mouthwatering dishes. If you still have some leftover energy, take a lift to the 21st floor for a dip in the saltwater pool. If you're an AccorHotels program member, you'll have the opportunity to earn frequent flier miles for staying here.

The Fairmont brand in Canada is often synonymous with the grand Edwardian railway chateaus of the early 20th century. Fairmont Winnipeg, however, is not a part of this legacy, but don’t let the 1970s cement façade fool you.
