An Insider's Take
'This isn't just a hotel—it's Minneapolis' most iconic Art Deco skyscraper transformed into a sleek urban playground with unmatched city views.' What's Special? The W Minneapolis occupies the historic Foshay Tower, built in 1929 and modeled after the Washington Monument. At 32 stories, it was Minneapolis' first skyscraper and tallest building for decades. The rooftop observation deck offers 360-degree views of the Twin Cities, while the building's limestone facade and Art Deco details have been meticulously preserved alongside W's signature contemporary design.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a room on floors 20+ for stunning views of the Mississippi River and downtown skyline. The hotel's location puts you within walking distance of both the theater district and the Mississippi riverfront.
Don't Miss Visit Prohibition Bar on the 27th floor for craft cocktails with panoramic city views, and explore the skyway system directly from the hotel—Minneapolis' famous enclosed walkways connect you to shops, restaurants, and attractions without stepping outside, perfect for Minnesota winters.
