The Best Hotels to Book in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Minneapolis is a thriving metropolis in Minnesota, surrounded by three different rivers and made up of two contrasting halves. With museums such as The Walker Art Center and places like the TCF Bank Stadium, it’s a great destination for both art lovers and sports fans. If you’re planning a vacation to this tourist hotspot, read on for a list of the best hotels in Minneapolis.
1. Renaissance Minneapolis The Depot, for an excellent location
Hotel
See the best of the Twin Cities within footsteps of your room when you stay at Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel. Adjacent to The Depot, this hotel in Minneapolis sends you to sleep within walking distance of Mill Ruins Park. The concierge will turn you on to the best that the city has to offer, including the beautiful Minnehaha Falls. As for the speakeasy Hole In The Wall within the hotel itself, you’ll have to keep your ears and eyes open. The literal hole in the wall might give you a clue, though.
2. Elliot Park Hotel, for effortless hygge
Hotel
Hygge isn’t hard to find at Elliott Park Hotel. You’ll find this Danish style of fun in every corner of the Minneapolis hotel. It’s beneath the eagle feather artwork hanging above your bed. It’s in every bite of handmade gnocchi at Tavola Italian Kitchen & Bar. It’s knowing that your furry friend can share in your appreciation of Scandinavian decor and wag their tail in agreement as you discuss the warm tones during a stroll through Gateway Dog Park.
3. Graduate Minneapolis, for campus exploring
Hotel
Gopher fans need not dig a hole on the University of Minnesota campus; just call Graduate home for the night. This Minneapolis hotel is right on the uni grounds, putting your double-double suite across from the Rec and Wellness Center.
