On 18th Street, the ongoing construction
of a new Holiday Inn Express across from the
Keystone Centre represents millions of dollars
in spending. Construction of the hotel started in
March of this year.
Jeff Krivoshen, COO at P.R. Hotels, which is
managing the hotel, told the Sun that it will be
the second Holiday Inn Express in all of Mani-
toba. There are already two regular Holiday Inns
and a Holiday Inn Express in Winnipeg.
When finished, the hotel will have 116 rooms.
It won’t have a restaurant but will have an area
where continental breakfast is served. There will
also be two meeting rooms on the top floor, but
no large conference space.
Though rain in late summer and the recent
heavy snowstorm have slowed down the build a
little, a representative of the contractors building
the hotel said that once they finish the roof and
siding, they’ll be able to work through the winter.
“They’re accustomed to working in winter
conditions,” Krivoshen said. “It is Canada and
anybody who’s building anything will have to
contend with that.”
The Sun had a look at the building and saw
the early stages of certain amenities, such as the
hotel’s pool and hot tub taking shape. Outside,
the sidewalk was freshly poured and setting.
Developers hope the hotel will be ready to
welcome guests sometime in June.
