A Suite Holiday Romance , the Hallmark Christmas movie, was filmed primarily in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, standing in for a fictional New York hotel.

Main Filming Location

The luxurious Grand Fairbanks Hotel —depicted as a bustling Manhattan spot—was brought to life using Winnipeg's historic Fort Garry Hotel at 222 Broadway. This National Historic Site provided exteriors, grand lobby, Crystal Ballroom, Oval Room, guest suites, and grand staircase for key scenes like holiday parties and romantic encounters. Production wrapped principal photography there between April 21 and May 9, 2025, under the working title A Magical New York Christmas.

Additional Winnipeg Spots

  • Various city landmarks appear in backdrops, including Saint Boniface Cathedral , Esplanade Riel bridge , Manitoba Legislative Building , and 300 Main.
  • Street-facing shots of Fort Garry Hotel captured Winnipeg's Broadway to mimic New York hustle, enhanced with post-production skyline inserts.

Behind-the-Scenes Details

Filming around Easter 2025 transformed the hotel with Christmas trees, garlands, and decorations for that festive Big Apple vibe. Directed by Jeff Beesley, the story follows writer Sabrina Post (Jessy Schram) ghostwriting for art dealer Grayson Westcott at the hotel, sparking romance with a British visitor (Dominic Sherwood). No actual New York shoots occurred—Manitoba's charm doubled perfectly, a common Hallmark cost-saving trick for holiday romances.

TL;DR : Entirely shot in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Fort Garry Hotel as the star), premiering December 13, 2025—not NYC despite the plot.
