Sandman Signature Winnipeg Airport Hotel & Suites

Sandman Hotel Group opened its first Signature-branded hotel in Manitoba in September 2025, a 215-room property on Sargent Avenue minutes from Winnipeg's airport. It's the Canadian family-owned chain's second Winnipeg location and brings loft suites, a waterslide and an in-house tavern to what is typically a purely functional airport-hotel category.

The place

On Sargent Avenue in Winnipeg's St. James area, about a six-minute drive from Winnipeg Richardson International Airport.

The concept

Sandman Signature is the premium tier of the 100%-Canadian-owned Sandman Hotel Group, and this 215-room property is the brand's first Signature-branded hotel in Manitoba and the group's second address in Winnipeg. Guest rooms span nine categories across a six-storey building, up to loft suites on the top floor, with contemporary finishes including rain showers and soaker tubs in select suites.

It reads as a category upgrade for Winnipeg's airport-hotel tier: amenities more commonly found downtown (a waterslide, a full fitness centre, meaningful meeting space) dropped next to the airport corridor rather than reserved for the city centre.

Dining & wellness

On-site dining comes via Tavern on King Edward, described by the operator as an "elevated, nostalgic" restaurant concept, alongside an indoor pool with a waterslide, a hot tub and a 24-hour fitness centre. Further detail on the restaurant's menu and hours is still to be confirmed.
