History:
The Fort Garry Hotel is designated as a national historic site.
Since 1913, this former Grand Trunk Pacific Railway hotel has stood as
a symbol of Winnipeg's importance as a North American transportation hub
and of the prairie city's affinity for old world elegance. One of Winnipeg's
most prestigious landmarks, The Fort Garry is now in its 10th decade.
In recent years, this grand hotel has enjoyed an unparalleled renaissance,
winning new admirers and accolades from patrons and guests as the hotel
approaches its 100th year on Broadway. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway
decided to build The Fort Garry in 1911 when it completed the link between
its east and west lines. The site chosen on Broadway Avenue was just one
block from the railway's Union Station. The hotel is Winnipeg's best example
of the chateau style of architecture which first found expression in the
magnificent railway hotels built across Canada before 1930. By the 1950s,
the chateau style, with its steep roof lines, expansive wall surfaces,
turrets, ornately-decorated windows and lavish ornamentation, was internationally
acknowledged as distinctly Canadian. For more information please refer
