    Great shower
    Christina R.

    We had to cancel our room at the very last minute in December 2021 because of an intense blizzard. The Westin Minneapolis did not have to be so kind and not charge us for the night (or the entire stay) but that's exactly what they did. I was so relieved I wouldn't have to pay for this given what the airline did to us (non-refunds for "acts of God" are ridiculous if you ask me.) Luckily, a year later, we used that expiring airline credit to come back and this time we actually got to stay at The Westin. I could have gone with a few other choices but how kind they were the year before really swayed me. We came in after 11pm so we had to use the phone in the vestibule to get the door opened for us. This was the easiest it's ever been for this situation. Check-in was a breeze and the person was so nice and informative. I love when someone gives you all the pertinent info in a non robotic way. The rooms were good. Are they luxury? No. Are they clean and suited for your needs? Yes. The bed is super comfy and our room had a great view of my favorite downtown building. The rain shower with separate wand was lovely. We really enjoyed the heck out of the hot tub and pool. Again, not the fanciest place on Earth but clean and well appointed. The bar and restaurant are in the middle of the lobby and didn't seem very busy. If I didn't have special restaurant plans we may have come in but we didn't. It wasn't too busy with guests but I did see that there were some and they all seemed to enjoy themselves. The skyway access is super easy and the Starbucks right there was convenient. This hotel is in the perfect downtown location if you're walking or taking the Metro/bus throughout the city.

    Abraham at the bar is the absolute worse bar tender. Services was terrible....don't come to this bar. If you can go to another hotel altogether, better yet.

    Gross white stains on the nightstand, stains visible on the tabletop glass.

    Gross. The nightstand had these white stains on the side, stains on the carpet beneath. Had to change rooms after seeing that. Disgusting.

    The lobby is gorgeous (Midland bar in this hotel lobby is amazing). The Art Deco over the top decor and architecture are remarkable. The bell man/security guy Joe gave me a quick tour and was very informative. Staff is super nice and hotel is beautiful and well kept. This building was originally a bank and there kept all the important items including the old safes. Some as wine cellar and the other a meeting room downstairs. The pool is original and it's steel, and so unique. Open all year round

When checking in, they asked us if we were here for a special occasion and upon learning that it was a girls night getaway, they provided us with BOGO app and drink coupons to the 2 restaurants onsite. They also suggested a few dishes to try. When we returned to our room after a show at the Orpheum, we found a bottle of bubbly with a handwritten note on the table!! It was such a kind gesture and so so thoughtful. I've never experienced something like that before - usually it's a birthday or anniversary where this type of stuff happens so we were thrilled the front desk would provide such a gift for friends simply getting together. We had dinner at Breva Bar (on the first floor) and loved the food. One tip - if the Minnesota Orchestra is having an event (close proximity), there will likely be a rush of diners beforehand and service can be tough/limited due to restaurant capacity. We experienced it first hand and had to wait a long time for food. But once the orchestra crowd cleared, it was prompt service. Another tip - do not skip the burrata & apple starter. It was so good we ordered it TWICE. Our room was on a high floor with views of downtown. The real star is though is the bed. I've stayed at Marriott properties before (Ivy is part of the Marriott family) but none of them compares to a Hotel Ivy bed. There's a reason this is a luxury hotel because this is a luxurious bed. Fun fact: Marriott actually sells these beds online and the prices are crazy expensive. There was complimentary coffee in the lobby the next morning. We enjoyed a simple but filling breakfast at the hotel bar before concluding our short 1 night but very memorable stay. So glad I got to experience Hotel Ivy, the beautiful ambiance, and stellar service. If I feel like spoiling myself again for another girls get together, I'm coming back here.

But I'm glad I got to stay one night to experience it.

    Not worth the hype…read more Was genuinely excited to stay at the W Minneapolis from Dec 19-22, but unfortunately the experience ended up feeling underwhelming, and stressful. Cost. The W is expensive, which shouldn't surprise anyone. Nightly rates hover around $200+ per night. Valet parking is $60 per night; objectively overpriced, though undeniably convenient. Additional fees: Pet owners, expect a $100 flat fee plus $25 per night, which adds up quickly. Where things start to fall apart is navigation and access to information. The hotel is surprisingly confusing to get around, and there's virtually no wayfinding or signage. In fully embracing the digital-only approach, the hotel has eliminated all traditional paper materials. No map. No room book. No quick-reference guide. Everything lives digitally. That sounds modern--until you need basic information like restaurant hours. eg). I attempted to visit the bar on floor 27 at around 330 pm. (It doesn't open until 5pm) However none of this is clearly displayed, and SUPER difficult to find without messaging the front desk and the Marriott app was hit-or-miss at best during my stay. The digital key never worked once, and even the room phone didn't function. That wouldn't be a huge issue if the app worked reliably--but it didn't. I did message the front desk through the app to request a USB-C charging cable and was told none were available. In 2025. At a W. That felt less like sleek minimalism and more like missed fundamentals. Food/ Room Service: Absolutely excellent. Manny's Steakhouse and the Prohibition Bar are both fantastic and independently operated in partnership with the hotel. See Manny's Steakhouse for a full review, it alone was a highlight of the stay. The room itself was very spacious, but it's important to remember this is an old building, and it shows. I struggled to maintain a consistent water temperature the entire stay. The room layout was also frustrating: the TV is mounted far from the bed, on a wall shared with neighboring rooms. Turning up the volume even slightly resulted in a noise complaint from next door. Yep, that actually happened. Overall, the W Minneapolis has style, history, and good food...but the experience feels more focused on image than guest usability. With better wayfinding, reliable tech, and basic in-room information, this could be a great stay. As it stands, it didn't live up to the hype
