Book your room in Winnipeg

The Fairmont Hotel is simply the finest hotel in Winnipeg. I know this for a fact, as I personally toured all of the major hotel properties in Winnipeg and selected the Fairmont as our starting point for your trip to Hatchet Lake Lodge. We have a special room rate arranged for Hatchet Guests, so be sure to ask for it when you call to make reservations. (Schedule your overnight at the Fairmont for the day before your scheduled departure date.)

The Fairmont staff are wonderful folks and they'll make you feel right at home. When you check-in, you'll receive special Hatchet Lake Lodge "luggage tags" and an information sheet which will bring you up to date on the departure time for the following morning. We have arranged a chartered bus to pick you up at the hotel and it will take you to the airport without charge.
