Luxury hotels in Minneapolis with history: Art Deco towers and a bank from 1906
The W Minneapolis - The Foshay occupies an Art Deco tower modeled on the Washington Monument. Businessman Wilbur Foshay opened it in 1929 with a march John Philip Sousa composed for the occasion; a few weeks later his business empire collapsed in the Great Depression. Since 2008 the building has been a hotel, with an open-air observation deck on the 30th floor and a small museum about the man who built it.
W Minneapolis - The Foshay · CentralThe tower of the Rand Tower Hotel Minneapolis also dates from 1929. It was built for Rufus Rand, an aviator, so flight motifs decorate the building, from Oskar J. W. Hansen’s “Wings” sculpture in the lobby to the terrazzo floors and a spiral staircase.
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
The Emery Minneapolis is set in the 1906 Midland Bank, a marble-columned building in Richardsonian Romanesque style. Where customers once used the drive-up teller, guests now pull in, and the name refers to the polishing of the marble. The Hotel Ivy Minneapolis wraps around the Ivy Tower, built around 1930 as a church; its top now holds a two-story Penthouse Suite.
Where to stay in Minneapolis: downtown, Elliot Park or Bloomington – how to choose your 5-star hotel
Downtown is compact and tied together by the skyway, a network of glass bridges one level above the street. So when you pick your 5-star hotel in Minneapolis, the key question is whether theater and concerts, the stadium and game days, or shopping and the airport should be close by.
Elliot Park Hotel Minneapolis · CentralDowntown: The Hotel Ivy Minneapolis connects by skyway to the convention center and Orchestra Hall. The Emery Minneapolis is one block from City Hall and the light rail, the W Minneapolis - The Foshay sits on Marquette Avenue, and both are on the skyway too. Recommended for culture, conferences and evenings downtown.
Elliot Park and the stadium: The Elliot Park Hotel Minneapolis is in a historic downtown neighborhood within walking distance of U.S. Bank Stadium, and before home games the hotel throws a tailgate. From the Rand Tower Hotel Minneapolis, the skyway takes you to Target Center and the stadium.

Bloomington: The JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America stands south of the city near the airport, with its own entrance into the mall. Ideal for shopping and early flights.
Getting your bearings: The North Loop has restaurants and bars in old warehouses, and along the Mississippi you find the Stone Arch Bridge, the Mill City Museum and the Guthrie Theater. Saint Paul, the other half of the Twin Cities, lies downriver.
Our tip: above the rooftops
At the W Minneapolis - The Foshay, ride up to the open-air observation deck on the 30th floor and look out over the city. In the evening, have a cocktail a few floors lower, among the mahogany panels of the Prohibition bar.
