1914 – Marlborough Hotel, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Architect: James Chisholm
An impressive stone and brick purpose built hotel building from the early 20th century, the Malborough has Tudor Gothic detailing on its lower floors.
1970 – Fairmont Hotel, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Architect: Smith Carter Parkin
Horrendously grim slab hotel block with windowless lower stories, the Fairmont is as far removed from the elegant and nearby Fort Garry in style as it is possible to be.
2013 – Mere Hotel, Waterfront Drive, Winnipeg
Architect: David Penner Architect
A 67-room boutique hotel that opened in 2013 – essentially a simple black box surrounded by a facade of coloured bars.
