Winter in Winnipeg
Learn more about Fairmont Winnipeg or make a booking.
Winter in Winnipeg can seem extremely daunting to those arriving in the city for a brief visit. Winter, however, can be one of the most magical seasons for the city. There’s plenty to do despite the cold and snow. Here are some of our top picks:
Ice-skating:
A classic winter activity, ice-skating is top of our list. Lace up and head out onto to river for a few hours or skate on the picture-perfect duck pond at Assiniboine Park. Of course the best place to wrap up a day skating is with a creamy hot chocolate in our cozy hotel lounge. If you’re in the mood for something warmer, take in the Canada’s Passion for Skating exhibit in New Iceland Heritage Museum in Gimli. To fully take advantage of winter, book your stay between now and April 30th, 2014, and receive up to 20% off.
Hockey:
With the return of the Jets to the city, there are plenty of games and exciting events to go to. Our hotel is conveniently located walking distance from the MTS center through the warmth of the underground walkway. We’ll also be screening the game live from our Lounge. Take advantage of our jets Game day Package which includes one night accommodation in a Fairmont Room, two cocktails in The Lounge and a two-for-one appetizer voucher to be used during your stay
Theatre:
Winnipeg is lucky to have some of the best theatre in the country. This December enjoy “A Christmas Story” and “Hirsch” at MTC or “Don Pasquale” at the Centennial Concert Hall. Our top pick for the festive season? The Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s “The Nutcracker”. No matter your taste, you’re sure to find something that peaks your interest during the upcoming theatre season. Looking to make your theatre experience extra special? Our Script a Romantic Package includes two tickets Hirsch and breakfast for two in the Velvet Glove or from the comfort of your room.
Food:
Winter is the only time of the year when it’s okay to indulge a little. We’ve got you covered throughout silly season with our turkey take-out, holiday lunch menu and of course Christmas day dinner and brunch in our Velvet Glove Restaurant.
