Make your trip to Winnipeg unforgettable by staying in this charming, turn-of-the-century loft.

This loft was on my list of places to stay for a long while and it did not disappoint!” - Hazel

"Industrial Modern" characterizes a lot of the interior design elements.
This true loft conversion is repurposed from a 109-year-old dry goods warehouse. It is also a proud recipient of the Heritage Winnipeg Preservation Award of Excellence for its attention to the original authenticity.

Now a beautiful professionally decorated loft is located in the heart of the exciting historic Exchange District. The space has a lovely, open feel, and a perfect central location within walking distance of Winnipeg's top tourist destinations.

THE DETAILS
✪ Located in The Exchange District in downtown Winnipeg

✪ “Within walking distance of some of the best spots in Winnipeg.” - Adrian Nov 19 (specific recommendations below)

✪ Walk score of 94
✪ In-suite washer and dryer
✪ Smartlock digital self-check-in

✪ 2 bedrooms, each with Queen size memory foam beds

✪ Soaring 12-foot ceilings, with massive beams and posts

✪ Complimentary fast WIFI throughout the Loft

✪ Free 24-hour parking included
(rare in this area)
✪ Guest Access to the entire loft.
✪ Handicap accessible with an elevator.

✪ Secure video surveillance, digital entry, and a fire suppression sprinkler system.

“Large beams. High Ceilings. Big Windows. High-end touches. The host was extremely amenable and very positive.” - Lionel, March 2021

During the renovation of this space, authentic historical details were kept intact. This combination of modern luxury and industrial charm creates a one-of-a-kind living space.

Large, sunny windows highlight the massive wood timbers and exposed brick walls. A leather sofa and two club chairs face the wall of windows and the 36” Smart TV. A perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine and your favorite TV show.

The kitchen maintains the industrial feel with custom open shelving and stainless steel appliances. There’s a large, quartz-topped island with casual bar seating - perfect for meal prep for the whole group. Friends and family will naturally gather here for morning cups of coffee and happy hour cocktails. There’s also a dining table with seating for four.

The best combination of natural and man-made lighting:
-5 large south-facing windows allow an abundance of bright sunlight during the day,
-custom industrial-style lighting sets the mood in the evenings.

In the master bedroom, the queen-size memory foam mattress sits against a natural wood headboard. There are individual reading lamps on either side. An office desk and workspace are ideal for completing remote work or school projects.

The second bedroom also includes another queen-size memory foam bed.

The full bath includes a modern concrete vanity, a tub and shower, and a stacked washer and dryer.

THE LOCATION:

With the winding Red River just a block away, it’s tough to beat the location of theLOFTonJAMES. You’re within easy walking distance of numerous eclectic downtown restaurants, bars, and shops.

The Forks, Theater District, and The Manitoba Museum are all within a few blocks as well.

“Bruce, Martina and Lauren truly go out of their way to make your stay flawless.” - Michelle Jan 2021

PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE HOST:

Clementines Cafe - an award-winning breakfast restaurant with a very on-trend and creative menu and eggs Benedict that is beyond.

Amsterdam Tea Room and Bar - Dutch-inspired and very creative menu with in-house made tea selections and a very trendy atmosphere.

Tall Grass Prairie Bakery at the Forks - I always recommend this stop during a morning walk from the loft to the Forks. They have arguably the best Cinnamon buns in town. Always fresh and warm. Our guests love this stop.

Deer & Almond - One of the most innovative local chefs and highly rated menus in the city.

Quamajuq Inuit Art Center - This is a brand new addition to the city Art Gallery. It hosts the largest Inuit art collection in the world and is only a 20-minute walk from the loft.

Museum of Human Rights - First National Museum to have been built outside of the capital city of Ottawa in the last 40 years. An amazing “living” museum that takes on the subject of Human Rights in real-time. There are many rotating/traveling exhibits as well as more permanent ones. We highly recommend booking an architectural tour of the building as it is a work of art as well.

This property is beautiful. It’s extremely walkable to various bars and restaurants. The owner of this property is extremely detail oriented. I was blown away by how stunning it was. She had great recommendations for things to do and see. She also met us there to ensure we knew how to get checked in and where to park. Did I mention she brought cake? 10/10 would recommend this to anybody!

Fabulous Loft
This was a great central place to stay and enjoy Winnipeg. The loft is really cute and the owner has thought of everything. Its the little things that puts this place over the top. Martina can be very involved or as little involved as you want. She researched what was going on the week we were there from concerts to plays to baseball game. They have a big map on the wall that shows the areas special interest and how to get there. Martina went over the map so we knew where to go and what restaurants she recommended. She was spot on! Bruce met us in the unloading area and saved us a spot so we could unload easily. Ive never had such one on one treatment before. You could tell they wanted you to totally enjoy your trip. They even left a bottle of wine and a mint on each of our pillows. Thank you Martina & Bruce! We loved your place and would love to stay here again next time were in town.

Awesome interior design
Let’s start with the basics - very clean, spacious, comfortable, very well stocked, excellent host. All five stars. But the truly amazing aspect of this unit was the absolutely incredible work they did on the interior design. Basically, they gutted an old warehouse and created an amazing living space. Warm and inviting, yet incorporating dozens of antique fixtures and features to remind you this was a very old building. We were literally amazed and totally impressed. We sent pictures to all of our family. We were also impressed what the city has done with the old Exchange District. Nice tourist district now. Good restaurants and hiking trails nearby. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

This place was amazing—beyond our expectations! Though there are plenty of places to go within walking distance, you will most likely just want to stay in and admire the art gallery/museum-like charm of this place. There’s so much to look at, yet it’s still cozy and welcoming! Our host greeted us with wine and desserts, told us about the local hotspots, and checked in with us regularly to see if we needed anything. We can’t wait to come back and stay here!!

From booking to checking out, I had ZERO worries. There was sparkling wi e and a beautiful cake for my daughter upon arrival for her birthday. Everything was supplied and best places to visit and eat. The hosts are available 24/7 during your stay and make sure that you know they are there to make your stay the most enjoyable ever!

Absolutely Perfect
We met Martina at the property, she was absolutely lovely and welcoming - complete with wine, chocolates and incredible cake! Her recommendations for restaurants were spot on and responded to my questions via text promptly. The loft was perfect - so well thought out and decorated, we needed nothing more than what was provided, they have thought of every single detail - down to an awesome variety of games. The beds were very comfortable, pillows and linens included - we are a very picky group when it comes to bedding, usually bringing our own pillows with us which just weren't needed here, everything is great quality and really comfortable The location is also perfect, we were able to walk to all of the many incredible local spots within 5-15 minutes (which was really nice to not have to drive - parking spot included too!). We would highly recommend staying here and are already looking forward to our next stay! Thank you, Martina!

Fabulous Loft. Exactly As Advertised!
We were visiting Winnipeg for a family reunion/birthday celebration. This is an amazing Loft in a totally renovated, circa 1910, 4-story brick warehouse. 2nd floor with elevator. The Loft itself is a designer’s dream. Newly renovated, decorated with a unique antique industrial feel, exposed brick walls, quiet, spacious, great kitchen and living area & large bathroom. No surprises here…it’s exactly as described. The neighborhood is relatively quiet with little traffic. One block walk to the Red River with a paved walking trail that will take you all the way to The Forks & the fabulous Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Restaurants, coffee shops & bars within easy walking distance. Private off-street parking space. Building is well secured. Host/owner, Martina, is lovely & more than helpful in getting you checked in, providing thorough explanation of the Loft, the neighborhood & places to eat and visit nearby. She is readily available to respond to any questions you may have during your stay. We will definitely try to stay in this Loft on all subsequent visits to Winnipeg… sure beats any hotel room in Winnipeg.

An absolutely wonderful Winnipeg stay
Our entire experience at The Loft on James went above and beyond our expectations. The photos truly do not do it justice. The loft is beautifully decorated and has everything you could need; even extra charging cables for your phone and chocolates on your pillow! The neighborhood surrounding is safe and the building secure. Martina could not have been any more welcoming, and her knowledge of the history and activities of Winnipeg is unsurpassed. We were greeted with warm hugs, wine and cookies and recommendations for food, festivals, museums, sports and shopping. She checked in on us daily to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We stayed only a couple of days but already plan on returning for much longer soon. If you’re considering staying in a unique and fun area of Winnipeg, The Loft on James is highly recommended.

Awesome place, every aspect from host to neighbourhood. I did have some reservations about noise that can be generally associated with the redevelopment of an old post and beam building but it was not an issue. No noise. The studio has a fit and finish from furnishing to art that is even better than it appears in the photo's. Fantastic stay in a beautifully appointed and unique industrial style studio!

The loft lived up to every great review I read before booking. My family was agog at the cool interior decoration. We actually opted out of some evening restaurant visits in order to stay at the loft and eat in because the place felt like we were hanging out in a chic lounge.
