Why James?
A history of hospitality. Since 1935, our family has been welcoming travellers into a world of hospitality built by three generations of dedicated hoteliers. Independent and family-owned, The James Hotel represents the legacy of first generation hotelier, James Peter Leier. Born in Odessa, Russia, his family immigrated to Saskatchewan when he was an infant in the early 1900’s. Those who knew James often recount his kindness and sincerity for giving newcomers a true sense of belonging and a welcoming place to stay. Today, that same passion and pride lives on through our dedicated team of partners and employees.

I have worked in the hotel industry for years and it is rare I stay somewhere without any faults. The James Hotel is one of those places. Everything from the service, the bed, the toiletries, breakfast, is excellent. All the staff deserve high praise. I would recommend the hotel to anyone staying in Saskatoon.
We had our wedding and reception in The James’ Penthouse. Everything was amazing. The penthouse suite is spacious and very well appointed. The views of the South Saskatchewan River are breathtaking. We had a served buffet meal and it was awesome. Late lunch was hot appetizers. All of the food was served with care and attention and all was top notch. Kevin and his team took care of our every need and were super to work with. Jodi, our bartender, was so much fun and made sure all of our guests were looked after. I can’t say enough good about The James and the staff. The entire evening was magical!
We booked an overnight stay at The James through Uniglobe Travel Saskatoon and it was incredible. It was a 1 night package with a suite, 2 lush Bath robes to keep, 4 decadent “whoopie cookies” of cream butter cheese, 2 drinks in the lounge and breakfast. WOW WOW WOW ????.The bed was the most amazing bed we’ve ever slept in. The sheets were microfiber, bed was a king, pillows so squishy and pillow top and the duvet we’re out if this world! We’ll put it this way if I could have fit it into my suitcase it would be here at home with me! I read another review somewhere and the lady said the beds were like sleeping on a cloud of marshmallows! Omg so true! Best romantic getaway ever!
