Is it possible to host virtual machines on a workstation running Ubuntu Server 16.04 (no GUI) and log into them remotely from a Windows PC?
Absolutely and you have multiple options for doing so.
Personally I use Proxmox, it is Debian based, but has a great web interface.
It depends a bit on which virtualization you choose, personally I use KVM. You can manage your KVM machines from windows
See https://serverfault.com/questions/340949/is-there-a-way-to-run-virt-manager-on-windows
For example see http://www.ubuntuboss.com/ubuntu-server-16-04-as-a-hypervisor-using-kvm-and-kimchi-for-vm-management/
A complete list of options is here - https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Management_Tools
Docker is very popular and has web interfaces as well

There are other options from virtualbox to Xen to Vmware.
So in a way, your question is too broad and I would suggest you ask a more specific question if you have a problem once you have done some research into your options.
