We stayed at the W Minneapolis in April for two nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We primarily chose the W because we enjoy Manny's, but the hotel experience turned out to be just as great! Check in was seamless, we loved the energy of the hotel from the valet to the reception area. We stayed in a standard room... More

I truly enjoyed my stay at this W Hotel, the decor is true to the branding and on Saturday night the lobby and rooftop bar is heaving with people. A nice way to spend a weekend in a usually 'quiet' Twin Cities.

Let me be fair and say first off that this hotel looks fantastic and is designed and decorated very well and hip. Unfortunately, Looking great is no substitute for hospitality and care for your guests. I booked a room here for my wife to treat her on her special first ever Mothers Day. Upon entering the room with my wife... More

I just wanted to say that Lisa is a great concierge and she had great selections for dinner. Also Andrew at the welcome desk is a really cool guy and really helpful. Staff was great and that is all you can ever ask for in a hotel. Also the DJ on Saturday night was killing it!! Dropping them sick beats!!!... More

Great service and central location. However, the lobby and restaurant area are really quite dark - day and night. Rooms are modern and bright. Restaurant is a steakhouse at lunch/dinner, but also serves great breakfast. Wifi signal was weak in the room, so perhaps not ideal for business. Maust say that the corporate rate was fantastic, especially given that its... More
