W Minneapolis - The Foshay

4 stars

821 Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, United States, 55402

Editorial review

W Minneapolis - The Foshay is set in the historic obelisk shaped 1929 Foshay tower, with an amazing Prohibition bar, the loungey Living Room and the gourmet dining provided by Manny and Key's Café. The rooms are intriguing with their avant garde geometric rugs, signature beds with goose down comforters, Bliss products in the baths, 37 inch flat screen TVs and iPod docks. If you want that little bit of extra luxury, opt for the loft like Extreme Wow! suites.

            Great restaurants and good workout facility.

            One of the worst hotels, a moody lobby and bed was a little stiff and walk in shower room is quite small. The maid didn't try to put all back.

            The location is wonderful, the Foshay Tower is a historic skyscraper built in 1929 and awesome places to eat right inside the building. The steak house below is the best in town and the Lobby is beautiful and has seating arrangements for large groups. The guest services are great, water pressure needs to be improved and the restaurant that is connected is excellent.
