The Best Hotels Near Shirley's, by the Record

Geothermal heating and floor-to-ceiling windows in the heart of Winnipeg's SHED district, right across from the Canada Life Centre. This Green Key certified hotel keeps rooms bright and minimal, with bold color blocking and local art on the walls. The lounge fills with pre-game crowds and post-show regulars, which tells you something about the location. A Michelin Selected Hotel.

Château-style turrets rising above Broadway have made this grand railway hotel a fixture of the Winnipeg skyline for longer than anyone working the front desk can remember. The rooms keep the high ceilings, dark woodwork, and vintage bones while sneaking in comfortable modern finishes. The domed Palm Room hosts live jazz and a menu that leans on Manitoba's seasons. Selected by the Michelin Guide.

Sitting at Portage and Main, one of those intersections Canadians actually argue about, this Fairmont is a full-service downtown hotel with rooms done in soft neutrals and warm woods, some with views over the Red River, others toward the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. House-made chocolates on arrival, staff who anticipate things. The Velvet Glove restaurant leans hard into Manitoba ingredients, which in this province is not a small commitment.
