The best way to enjoy a Winnipeg winter is to dress warm, get cozy, enjoy great company, and get some fresh air! This is also known as Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) – a Danish lifestyle of creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying good things with great people indoors and outdoors!
A Hygge lifestyle is simple to create and easy to practice. Hygge expert Anna will introduce you to Hygge in a quiet corner of the hotel with warm drinks; and guide you through workshops and and outdoor walks throughout the weekend to immerse in nature and connect to your surroundings. You will learn how to bring the feeling of hygge into your home and how it can lead to a simple, content, and cozy lifestyle.
Outside of your Hygge sessions, rest and relax in the luxurious and blissful Ten Spa and dine and enjoy the fresh flavours prepared by our Executive Chef Joseph Wojakowski in our newly restored Oval Room Brasserie.

MEET ANNA
After being introduced to the Danish way of living a few years back Anna quickly began integrating and shifting her lifestyle to create the same magic! Designing a home that brings the outdoors in, cozy vibes through candlelight, and less screen time to allow deeper connections are now everyday essentials! She will often share her love of hygge by throwing parties or gatherings that promote togetherness. Activities almost always include creating a meal together such as homemade pasta, games that promote deep conversation, and a personal favourite outdoor walk no matter the weather! Enjoying the simple moments in life often lead to the warmest memories.
