The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce (WCC) recently launched a three-year program designed to focus on Winnipeg’s private sector growth in world commerce. The city is already among the leaders in global transportation and trade and the new initiative intends to build on that standing. The program is called Selling Winnipeg To The World (SWTTW) and is expected to further enrich an already bustling economy.

We are doing our part to foster financial growth with our wonderful Business Class accommodations. We have recently modernized our 4th floor and devoted the whole level to our business guests. Visitors will appreciate the brand new furniture, linens and flat screen televisions. Privacy is guaranteed since the entire floor has access limited to key card holders and our staff is highly trained and attuned to all your work and relaxation needs.

Our convenient Business District location and our unequaled amenities will enable you to accomplish your business goals in the most comfortable of surroundings. Just a short walk or cab ride from the hotel you will find great eateries and entertainment venues such as the MTS Centre, home of the National Hockey League’s Winnipeg Jets (inquire about our special NHL room rates) and the Garrick Centre, which features the performing arts.

Planes, trains, buses and automobiles have no problem finding Winnipeg, and the Richardson International Airport is finishing up a major modernization and retrofit.

You can certainly get your work done here, but don’t forget all the culture and entertainment that awaits you in Winnipeg, either. We look forward to serving you whenever you visit our fair city.

If you haven’t been to Winnipeg for a few years you might not recognize the downtown area. This section of the city has been enjoying a renaissance that is attracting business travelers and tourists at ever-increasing rates. We are proud to be a part of this revitalization and look forward to an even better future.

One of the cornerstones of the downtown upgrade is the fabulous MTS Centre. Visually striking, the state-of-the-art sports and entertainment complex has come to define the rebirth of one of Winnipeg’s most popular areas, and is located just a short walk away from the hotel.

The 15,000 seat Centre is not only home to the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets but also features a variety of sports and entertainment. The MTS Centre serves the community as well by hosting events like major charity events and blood drives.

Our proximity to the complex is just one reason to stay with us while attending a game or a concert or a trade show at the Centre. We offer deluxe accommodations and very competitive rates, including special NHL room packages. If you are entertaining business clients our 4th floor Business Class may be just the ticket.

The Centre includes the magnificent Iceplex, which is a premier local hockey venue for youth and adult league and tournament play. If you are throwing a party for friends, business associates or employees you will want to check out the Centre’s party suites.

For complete information about the MTS Centre you should call or visit the website, MTSCentre.ca, which can fill you in on the calendar of events as well as providing you with all the data you will need to plan your visit.

Veteran travelers and first-time visitors alike have reported on wonderful visits to Winnipeg, the capital city of Manitoba and one of the great commerce centers of North America. Winnipeg lies in an area known as “The Forks”, where two great rivers meet. The confluence of the Assiniboine and Red rivers served as a Centre of trade and commerce for the first aboriginal people to settle in the area and today’s city is a hub for world-wide shipping, manufacturing and transportation.

We are located right in the heart of Winnipeg’s famed Business District and our Business Class accommodations are second-to-none. We have completely refreshed the entire 4th floor of the hotel and we have reserved this floor for the exclusive use of our business guests. Security is assured with limited key card access to the 4th floor, and the rooms are quiet and comfortable, with all new furniture and linens. We have even added such state-of-the-art touches as flat screen television and our knowledgeable staff is well prepared to host your visit.

Of course, as the saying goes, all work and no play didn’t do Jack a lot of good, and we have kept that thought in mind. You will find much to enjoy even as you conduct your business, with fine dining and entertainment available within walking distance or a short cab ride. The Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League call the nearby MTS Centre home (ask about our special NHL room rates) and there are museums and theaters throughout the city, including the Burton Cummings Theater for the Performing Arts (built in 1906 and now named for the lead singer of The Guess Who).

Winnipeg is a great place for work and/or play, and we offer you top quality lodging for your stay.

What do Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Deep Purple, Prince, Heart, Lady Antebellum, Roger Waters, B.B. King, Manhattan Transfer and George Thorogood and the Destroyers all have in common? Well, aside from the fact that they have all achieved a high level of musical stardom, they have all also either appeared recently or are going to appear soon at one of Winnipeg’s many major concert venues.

We have a great downtown location within walking distance or a short cab ride if you are in town to catch an act in Winnipeg. The MTS Centre, Burton Cummings Theatre, The Manitoba Centennial Concert Hall and the Pantages Playhouse Theatre are just a few of the spots you’ll want to check out for big name concerts. Or, you might prefer a cozier spot for your musical enjoyment, and there is no shortage in the downtown area, which includes nightspots like the Palomino Club, Sam’s Place and Willy’s Garage.

We offer luxury and comfort at reasonable rates while you enjoy all the nightlife. Our staff provides quality service to make your stay enjoyable and memorable, and we are situated so that you won’t have to struggle through traffic or fight for parking, leaving you free to get the most out of your visit to Winnipeg.

The entire downtown has been experiencing an upsurge and revitalization over the last few years and the improvements are continuing at a rapid pace. We would love to host your stay and show you just how far Winnipeg has risen in stature as a world class city.

Don’t forget, if business is also part of your agenda while you are here we have a completely refreshed Business Class floor that provides both privacy and security. New furniture, linens and flat screen televisions grace every room, and access is limited to those who hold key cards. For work or play, Winnipeg is a great choice.

Winnipeg’s downtown is a lively place, and we are located right in the middle of the action. One of the highlights located within walking distance of our doors is the MTS Centre.

The MTS Centre is a major feature of the downtown renovation of Winnipeg. First opened in 2003, the Centre is a multi-use sports and entertainment facility that has contributed greatly to a renaissance in the core of this great city. The Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League (NHL) call this their home and every season brings new thrills to Manitoba’s die-hard hockey fans.

The Jets, as exciting as they are, are just one of the many ice-oriented attractions the 15,000 seat MTS Centre has to offer. In addition to hosting NHL hockey the Centre houses the MTS Iceplex. The Iceplex is touted as Manitoba’s community hockey complex and boasts a 177,000 square foot facility that has four regulation sized ice rinks, a goalie training facility, pro shop and concessions. The Iceplex is available for both youth and adult hockey leagues and tournaments and is used for public skating as well.

Fun on the ice might be enough, but the MTS Centre doesn’t stop there. Concerts and performance art are presented year round, and state-of-the-art sight-line design and acoustics are why fans flocked to see Gordon Lightfoot and Prince in December of 2011. Upcoming 2012 events include Disney on Ice, professional wrestling and concerts by popular bands Deep Purple and Simple Plan.

Stay with us whenever you are in town for an event, whether you are a player or a spectator, and don’t forget about our special NHL room rates. Our ultra-convenient location, wonderfully comfortable rooms and competitive rates are sure to please you and will have you coming back again and again.

Winnipeg’s Business District is located in the heart of a great city that lies at the longitudinal Centre of North America. Whether you are visiting strictly for business or looking to combine your work with pleasure we are ready for you with our newly refreshed Business Class accommodations. We have reserved the entire 4th floor solely for our business guests, with new furniture, new linens and new flat screen TVs.

Our convenient and central location will facilitate your work and allow you to enjoy all that Winnipeg has to offer. The MTS Centre, Burton Cummings Theater (a National Historic Site) and the Pantages Playhouse are all within a short walk or taxi ride.

You’ll get all the peace and quiet that you need for work and rest because access to our Business Class floor is limited by key card access and a variety of superb restaurants are available nearby for all your wining and dining needs.

You may be doing business with sports fans and, if so, don’t forget to ask about our special NHL packages so you and your colleagues can enjoy watching the Winnipeg Jets as they host some of the world’s most exciting action on ice.

Winnipeg itself is a major transportation hub, sitting right on the Trans-Canada Highway. Bus and train connections service the entire region and the Richardson International Airport is nearing completion of a more than half-billion dollar modernization project.

We welcome your visit and our highly trained professional staff is prepared to address all your needs on your next trip to Winnipeg.
