Owned by the Long Plain First Nation and located on Treaty 1 Territory on Long Plain Madison Reserve—the
city's first urban reserve—this 132-room property is simply stunning. Its curved design reflects the circle, a sacred
shape indicating interconnectivity, along with Indigenous art throughout the hotel. Amenities include Manoomin
Restaurant (which means 'wild rice' in Ojibway) and Onishkaan Café, bilingual signage and service in Ojibway and
English, a shop featuring locally made Indigenous gifts, a knowledge keepers' gathering room for Elders and spaces
built specifically for ceremony.
