It’s hard to believe it’s already been four decades, however come September 1 The Fairmont Winnipeg will celebrate its 40th anniversary as the city’s premier luxury hotel. Part of the celebration includes thanking Manitobans for years of loyalty.

On weekends until December 26, 2010 The Fairmont Winnipeg is offering room rates equal to the year in which people were married. In other words, if you were married in 1975, you would be entitled to a $75 rate! For those married after 1999, the rates revert to $100 + therefore those married in 2001 would be entitled to a $101 rate.

Proof will of course be required at time of check in! If you aren’t married, we will honour a rate of $110.

Those looking for an upgrade can experience the exclusive Fairmont Gold floor at a fraction of the price.

Book today and relax in luxury as the Fairmont Winnipeg just completed renovations in 82 rooms and specialty suites.

In order to receive this limited time offer guests must call 1-888-530-9292 and ask for the “40th Anniversary Rate”.
