One interesting fact I found long ago, the actor who played Major John Howard in the Longest Day (Richard Todd) was actually in the 6th Airbourne and fought at Pegasus bridge, but not in the initial assault, he arrived later in the day.
He was severely wounded by friendly shell fire on June 12 and never returned to combat.

But it's more likely that the hotel was named after one or more of the real Viscounts Gort (a hereditary title taken from the name of a town in County Galway, Ireland), of whom there have been several.
One in particular seems likely, John Standish Surtees Prendergast Vereker, Sixth Viscount Gort, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for heroism in France in World War I and led the British Expeditionary Force at Dunkirk during WW II.
The connection between Viscount Gort and Winnipeg, if any, is a bit unclear to me, but his fame as a military leader probably accounts for the hotel's moniker.
