Senator Hotel, Saskatoon

Located in the heart of downtown Saskatoon, the Senator Hotel is a European-style boutique hotel housed in one of the city’s most iconic heritage buildings. Originally opened in 1908 as the Flanagan Hotel-a vision of early settler and hotelier James Flanagan-the property quickly became a symbol of Saskatoon’s growing modernity, outfitted with luxury features well ahead of its time: electricity, steam heat, telephones, and hot and cold running water in every room.

Designed by noted architect Walter W. LaChance and constructed by the Shannon Brothers (their first Canadian project), the hotel was built in grand style. Inside, guests were met with lavish marble, ornate scrolls, chandeliers, and wrought-iron work. Over time, the hotel adapted to the city’s changes-undergoing Depression-era alterations, mid-century modernization, and finally, careful restorations in the 1990s and early 2000s that earned city heritage awards.

Today, the Senator Hotel features 38 elegant, affordable rooms that combine old-world charm with modern convenience. Guests enjoy free Wi-Fi, complimentary parking, a 24-hour front desk, and business and laundry facilities. Select rooms offer deep soaking tubs and sitting areas for added comfort.

The hotel is steps from Midtown Plaza, Kiwanis Memorial Park, and within easy reach of the University of Saskatchewan and Prairieland Park. Both a historic landmark and a vibrant hub of hospitality, the Senator continues to blend tradition and comfort in the heart of Saskatoon.
