Minneapolis Hotels | Places to Stay in Minneapolis

July 12, 2022 Merry Kessler

With its gleaming skyscrapers set amid glittering lakes, Minneapolis makes for an attractive and fun getaway. A truly year-round destination, the city offers activities for every season. In winter, one can explore the downtown area through more than seven miles of glass-enclosed skyways. In addition to keeping you warm, they create a lively thoroughfare filled with specialty shops, restaurants and services. Whether you want to escape the winter cold or the summer warmth, the Mall of America offers shopping, dining and entertainment options for any time of the year and every member of the family. Art lovers have plenty to see at the Minneapolis Art Institute, Walker Art Center and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, which all house world-renowned collections. The theater scene is thriving. With more than thirty theaters, Minneapolis has more seats per capita than any U.S. city except New York. See a Broadway show and enjoy dinner and live jazz at a fabulous restaurant. With kids in tow, check out the Science Museum of Minnesota, where visitors can produce their own video, or come face to face with a shark at the UnderWater Adventures Aquarium. In summer, the action moves outside. Known as "The City of Lakes," Minneapolis has 22 lakes located within city limits and many more in the surrounding area. In town, hordes of locals and tourists in-line skate or stroll around Lake Calhoun, stopping for ice cream along the way. Just outside of town, Fort Snelling State Park offers outdoor recreational activities from hiking to biking and golf to boating. No matter when you visit, Minneapolis offers lots for everyone to enjoy.

Fantastic location for our convention

Epic hotel in the heart of the city

Reviewed By Z4878YAjasonm

We were in town for two nights for a wedding. The hotel is beautiful and swanky, with a combination of classic and modern styling that makes it feel high-end. The rooms were modern, spacious and clean with nice views of the city from the 13th floor. The lobby was lively and fun to hang out in, with a pool table and bar. That might make it sound like a billiard pub, but that is NOT the vibe. Think... classy pool table... :) There's breakfast available for purchase on the 3rd floor, and a discount drink happy hour at the bar in the early evening. They also have a banquet facility in a building across an enclosed common space where we enjoyed the wedding reception on the 50th floor. We'd love to visit again in the future.

Located next to downtown Minneapolis and nestled in the heart of campus between Coffman Memorial Union and a stone throw from the Gopher's stadium. We are a short 1.5 mi drive to Downtown Minneapolis. Numerous shops and restaurants within a 5-minute walk.

Great for family

Reviewed By yehhuan

We have a King Suite, which was great at night when the two small ones went to sleep, we could shut the door of the bedroom and chat and read in the sitting room. The bed was comfortable, the shower was well designed and nice and warm, furniture was solid and comfortable. We also enjoyed the interior decoration. We parked the first day on site and paid $25, and the second day the covered garage across the street which was cheaper.

Reviewed By charles w

First time in Minneapolis and this was a great pick. As a Marriott Rewards member and Hilton Honors Member, I try to find unique hotels. This place was great. I would/will go back. Great location. The front desk was a little wonky when we checked in. They did not tell us we had to take a certain elevator, until we came back down to ask. But, they could have told me, and did not hear him. Nevertheless, very cool place.

Luxurious for a mid-priced downtown hotel

Best Western meets Normandy? Odd design choices abound, but it's got a nice pool and clean, well-appointed rooms. The staff is helpful, and the location (downtown!) is very convenient. No free breakfast, but the restaurant serves excellent fare.

We have always enjoyed staying at Hampton Inns and this one was no exception. The staff was great and very helpful! The breakfast was very complete. I’m a coffee snob and I thought the coffee was delicious. We appreciated having a shuttle to our activities at the University.

Hewing Hotel

Hewing Hotel is uniquely tied to the rich history of Minneapolis and reflective of the most progressive neighborhood in town. The historic building has been refined, but not stripped of its former life as a farm implement warehouse. Exposed timber and brick, tall ceilings and original industrial elements mix with high-end interiors to create an original and inviting experience.

Downtown Hotel

Very elegant hotel with easy access to downtown shopping center, Target Center, and Mall of America. The hotel staff was friendly and got my colleagues and I checked in for our business trip with ease. Thankfully the Hotel was close enough to the convention center so that we were able to to walk over within 5 minutes. There is also a nice combination of restaurant options within walking distance of Hotel.
