Fort Garry Hotel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fort Garry Hotel was built by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in 1912 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and was then acquired by Canadian National Railway. The hotel was designed by Ross and Macdonald, and was built in the style and to the standards of the Park Plaza Hotel in New York City. In 1979, the hotel was acquired from the CNR by a company controlled by the Perrin family of Winnipeg, headed by J. D. (Jack) Perrin, Jr. as President. In 1980, Jack Perrin unveiled the plaque presented by the National Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, recognizing the architectural and historic significance of the building. In 1988, it was purchased by a company controlled by Raymond Malefant of Quebec, Canada. In 1993, the hotel changed hands again and is currently operated by Utell International Hotels.
