Elegance, luxury, it's just the best here for an attractively affordable price (if you can find it). Look for offers, stay two nights in a suite, have a nice meal on the town, and watch an ordinary weekend become something that memories, long lasting ones, are made of. We try to treat ourselves once every two years if possible.

Planned a get away weekend in the cities and found the Grand to be perfect for location, food quality, and room accommodations. The 2 night weekend price was very affordable. We enjoyed the wine hour in the lobby and the sushi avilable in the restraunt. Our 14th floor room was very quiet - didn't even know there were neighbors all... More

I want to thank Amanda Parsons (General Manager) for having a very helpful, friendly, and expeditious staff. Ashley Williams, the MOD, was so pleasant and gave great advice as to where to shop and enjoy nightlife, along with a beach recommendation! She even sent up complimentary wine and cheese as a welcome. It was great socializing with Briana (I believe)... More

I'm in Minneapolis for work very frequently, and had not stayed at the Grand because it was not a member of one of the hotels that I frequent (eg. Hilton, Starwood, Kimpton, etc). When it became part of the Kimpton family, I decided to visit, but waited until the weather was good because it is a bit of a walk... More

I've stayed here for business on a couple of occasions, and it's my favorite (compared to the other's I've stayed at in the general vicinity). I love the size, decor, and upscale feel of the room and bathroom. Oh, and the wine happy hour is great (if I can get there in time)! The one drawback is that the only... More

My husband and I stayed here last month on a weekend trip to Minneapolis. We loved this hotel not only for its location close to downtown, but also for the hospitality and the atmosphere. When you enter, one of the first things you see is a bowl of dog biscuits. It's one of the nicest pet friendly hotels we'd seen.... More

I loved staying at this hotel! Had a great time at the Spa! My kids loved it aswell. Parking was a little pricy but, it was worth it because they took care of my car. Room service was fantastic. Wake up calls were right on time. Staying there was a breeze :)

The hotel location is superb, close enough to walk to all the shopping and restaurants in downtown Minneapolis. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and luxurious (Frette bathrobes and I believe linens), although the hotel and room decorations are a bit eccentric (unless you are used to tree stumps as side tables). The property offers complimentary happy hour with small... More
