OUR STORY
For more than three decades, the Schinkel family has built their reputation on hospitality that feels personal, generous, and genuinely caring. What began as a single family-run hotel in Manitoba has grown into a collection of trusted properties across the Prairies—each one chosen with intention, and each one carrying the same commitment to making guests feel truly looked after.
The Wingate by Wyndham Calgary Airport became part of the Schinkel Properties family through that same thoughtful approach. As travel through Calgary continues to grow, the Schinkel’s saw an opportunity to bring their signature warmth and hospitality to a major Canadian hub. They fell in love with the idea of creating a place where business travelers, families, and adventurers could land, exhale, and feel at home—even when they were far from it.
The Wingate Calgary Airport stands as a reflection of everything the Schinkel family believes in: modern comfort, dependable service, and people who go the extra mile because taking care of others isn’t just a business—it’s who they are. Whether you’re catching an early flight, exploring Calgary, or simply passing through, you’ll experience the same Genuine Care that has shaped the Schinkel legacy since day on
