Project Saskatoon Inn & Conference Centre

A Praire Retreat

A Saskatoon institution gets a warm and welcome overhaul

W

inters in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan's
largest city, are brutally long and frigid,
dominated by below-zero temperatures.
So, when Vancouver-based Hager Design
International overhauled the public spaces of the 257room Saskatoon Inn & Conference Centre, instilling
warmth was essential. Walnut, for example, was
embraced in a number of components, from cladding
to millwork to the bookcases starring in the business
center. Complemented by lush carpeting, bronze accents,
and dramatic, full-height draperies, the property has a
decidedly residential vibe, with guests settling into the
lobby with coffee from the "Bean There" Café or taking
conference breaks in the community kitchen.
It was equally important, says founder and principal
Doris Hager, "that the finishes complement the existing
site's architecture and history." Since opening in 1982,
the hotel has been an institution, and such touches as
midcentury graphics and zippy plaids evoke that sense

and sunshine give the large space a bright, yet cozy feel. Above:
Geometric shapes, like river rocks, are influenced by the hotel's
atrium and indoor botanical garden.
