About this property

⭐️⭐️ theLOFTonJAMES ⭐️⭐️

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.

“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.

Past and present beautifully combined
Beautifully presented property. Our delightful host was there to greet us when we arrived, and provided us with information about the many things we could see during our stay, including excellent places to eat. Very easy to walk to almost all places of interest to us, which we enjoyed very much as we didn't have a car. Wonderful 100 year old property that is a delight to stay in, with all modern conveniences whilst still being able to enjoy the feel of the old building - the interior is designed for modern living whilst incorporating elements that echo back to the past. If we were to come to Winnipeg again - this is where we would want to stay.

Best place to stay near downtown winnepeg
Rhis was nothing short of a 5 star rating. Actually it should be 10. The hospitality that the hosts express is nothing short of amazing. My first time to Canada. 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! Don't stay anywhere else!!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Martina, Bruce, and Lauren

Host profile image
After 20 years of global executive travel, I have come to appreciate that there are a few essentials that have always put a smile on my face and made me feel at home. It is this realization that has driven my family and I to offer an unforgettable accommodation experience.

A beautifully-appointed space, with comfy bedding, and lovely amenities, all the comforts of home and an opportunity to connect with locals, are but a few of the things that we hope our condo and family offers.

We are passionate about our city and would love to share anything that may be of interest to you about Winnipeg. There is so much to discover and talk about in English, French or Czech​ if you prefer! ☺

Why they chose this property

This is a true industrial loft, is preserved in all its' authenticity and century-old character and charm. The architectural features of this property were not lost during the redevelopment, as often happens to so many old buildings in this area. Timber ceilings are frequently hidden and covered in the renovations of these historic warehouses. This building's redesign preserved the massive timber framework, offering an unparalleled historic charm.

Our space also occupies the entire back and width of the building, which gives it 3 gorgeous outside brick walls, and 5 south and west-facing windows. This is very rare for the Exchange District.

This building was awarded the Heritage Winnipeg Preservation Award of Excellence in tribute to this outstanding gentrification. If you want to stay in an authentic 100-year-old industrial loft, this is as close as you can get without traveling back in time!
