Review: Delta Winnipeg | Prince of Travel

I recently stayed at the Delta Winnipeg for one night prior to a Via Rail journey to Toronto. I was looking for an ideal location downtown, from where I could easily access Winnipeg’s main attractions and the train station.

There aren’t too many exciting hotel options in Winnipeg, so it was a toss up between the Fairmont and the Delta. After some deliberation, I ultimately went with the latter, as I was able to redeem points for my stay.

Delta Winnipeg – Booking

When redeeming Marriott Bonvoy points, this property typically falls in the range of 17,000–20,000 points per night. However, at the time of my visit, the hotel had a PointSavers rate of just 12,000 points.

Meanwhile, cash rates typically fall in the region of $170–290, with some rates falling in a higher range during the hotel’s busiest times.

Based on our current valuation of Bonvoy points at 0.9 cents per point, the PointSavers rate was indeed too great of an offer to pass up, and ultimately swayed me towards booking the Delta rather than the Fairmont around the block.

Delta Winnipeg – Location

The Delta is located in the entertainment district of Downtown Winnipeg on St. Mary Ave, between Hargrave Street and Carlton Street. The second floor of the building directly connects to the RBC Convention Centre and the MTS Centre via an indoor skywalk.

It’s a quick 10-minute stroll to Canada Life Centre, making the Delta Winnipeg a prime location for anyone looking to catch a hockey game or a concert.

For leisure travellers, the Delta is also well-positioned among shops, eateries, and popular destinations in the city. Stepping outside the hotel and down Carlton Street, you’ll find the Japanese Gardens, a popular place for a leisurely walk.

Around 15 minutes east of the Delta Winnipeg is the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, and a 10-minute journey on foot brings you to the Winnipeg Art Gallery.
