THE DELTA BESSBOROUGH, SASKATOON'S CHATEAU STYLE RAIL HOTEL


I love the railroad hotels across Canada. I have a loosely guarded secret that I wish to visit every one, and for the most part they are owned by Fairmont Hotels. This is a CN hotel owned by Delta, so despite not being a Fairmont, I made an exception, wanting to stay in the most impressive hotel I know of on Saskatoon's South Saskatchewan river. When I was invited to supervise an exam across town, I happily walked the 5 km to stay at this special place.


View from Spadina of the Chateau Style hotel leading into the lobby
Beautiful outdoor grate

Tyndall limestone, from Manitoba

A delicious sleep
Named after the 14th Governor General of Canada, Vere Ponsonby, the 9th Earl of Bessborough

Damask on the the floor

The perfect office chair

The solution to the storage problem with a pedestal sink.

Foyer with hooks and a great lamp with moulding on the doors.



View from my room facing the river. Worth the upgrade!
I would love to see this garden later in the summer.
