Currently, Lakeview Hospitality is taking the
lead on the Grand Winnipeg Airport Hotel,
Winnipeg’s latest luxury property located by
Winnipeg International Airport – one of the
top 10 airport terminals in the world. In keep-
ing with the consistency of the ostentatious
airport, the enterprise developed a modern,
high-tech, spacious space and provided ame-
nities unique to the hotel, which is affiliated
with the Preferred Hotel Group out of Chi-
cago. Being the first hotel in the city to offer
complimentary use of an in-room iPad, where
guests can request items and services through
a custom application specifically for the ho-
tel, Lakeview has left a legacy of technological
ingenuity. The project is also the first to offer
Netflix in North America and a Starbucks auto
barista machine in the lobby, thus exemplify-
ing the modernization within the hotel indus-
try. The recent acquisition of Hecla Lakeview
Resort, located two hours north of Winnipeg,
is another exceptional project for the compa-
ny, and consists of the conversion of an elite,
ultra-luxurious business-class hotel to a family-
friendly hotel that is more price-reasonable.
