USA — 10 Hotels Reviewed
Minneapolis has a surprisingly varied hotel scene for its size: sleek new-build towers downtown, boutique properties in the North Loop’s converted warehouse blocks, and practical, Skyway-connected hotels built for conventions and game-day crowds. Most first-time visitors stay Downtown or in the North Loop/Mill District for walkability to Target Field, U.S. Bank Stadium, and the riverfront. You’ll also find excellent-value chain options that keep you close to the action without luxury-level pricing. Book early for summer festivals and big sports weekends, when the best-located rooms sell out fast.

Downtown (near the riverfront/North Loop edge)
Minneapolis’ headline luxury stay, this sleek high-rise delivers true five-star service with a destination spa and skyline views. It’s also a rare downtown resort-style option thanks to its wellness floor and pool experience, making it ideal for a special-occasion trip.
North Loop / Warehouse District
A beloved North Loop boutique with warm, industrial-chic design that nods to the neighborhood’s warehouse history. The standout is the rooftop pool and sauna scene, one of the most sought-after spots in the city for views and cocktails.
Elliot Park (Downtown East)
A polished Autograph Collection property with an intimate, residential feel—great for travelers who want upscale comfort without a huge-lobby vibe. Its Downtown East location is convenient for stadium events while still being quieter than the core business blocks.
Downtown (Target Field/North Loop-adjacent)
A stylish, higher-end downtown favorite with a boutique edge and a strong sense of place. It’s a smart pick for couples and sports fans who want walkable access to Target Field plus a lively lobby-and-bar atmosphere.
Mill District (Downtown East)
A modern, design-forward stay in the Mill District, close to the river, trails, and Minneapolis’ historic flour-milling landmarks. Perks like a local-first vibe and easy neighborhood exploring make it ideal for long weekends focused on food, culture, and walks.
North Loop
One of the city’s best-value highly rated stays, with a fresh, apartment-hotel feel that suits longer trips and practical travelers. The North Loop address puts you steps from some of Minneapolis’ best dining and breweries while keeping a calm, residential tone.
A classic luxury address with a more traditional, elegant feel than the newer glass-and-steel towers nearby. It’s a strong choice for travelers who prioritize a full-service, high-touch hotel experience and a central downtown base.
Downtown (near Target Center/Target Field area)
A reliable, traveler-friendly pick that keeps costs reasonable while staying in the heart of downtown. It’s especially good for families and quick trips thanks to included breakfast and an easy walk to major venues.
Downtown (Convention Center area)
A long-running Minneapolis staple that offers solid comfort and character at a typically lower nightly rate than the flashier downtown options. It’s a practical base for conventions and theater nights, with amenities that make short stays easy.
Downtown (Convention Center corridor)
A dependable mid-range choice for business trips and event weekends, with the familiar Hilton Garden Inn consistency. The location is convenient for downtown meetings and the convention center, making it a no-drama option when you want logistics to be simple.

Common Questions
Our top pick is Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis, which consistently receives outstanding reviews. We've curated 10 of the best hotels in Minneapolis across all price ranges, from budget guesthouses to five-star properties. Each has been selected for quality, location, and value.
Shoulder season — typically spring (March–May) and early autumn (September–October) — offers the best balance of good weather, lower hotel rates, and manageable crowds. Peak season brings the most vibrant atmosphere but also the highest prices. Check local festivals and events as these can both enhance and complicate your visit.
Budget options start from around $60–100/night, while mid-range hotels run $120–250/night. Luxury five-star hotels start from $300/night and can exceed $1,000 for top suites. Prices vary significantly by season, so booking 4–8 weeks ahead usually secures the best rates.
For first-time visitors, the city centre or historic quarter offers the best combination of walkability, restaurants, and access to main attractions. Once you know the city, neighbourhood hotels often offer better value and a more authentic experience. All the hotels in our guide include neighbourhood notes to help you choose.
