I went to eat at Manny's steakhouse (really good itself) with my two daughters ages 16 and 20 and a couple friends of mine, one of whom is visiting from out of town. I had heard that the Foshay had a small museum dedicated to its history and an observation deck on the top floor, but had never been so... More

Very modern in design and color, from the front lobby and bar area to the rooms. Rooms are on the smaller side. The legendary beds and pillows lived up to their billing as ultra comfortable. Yes the bar on the lobby level is a party zone, however the views from the bar at the top are excellent, especially at sunset. More

The W hotel is very interesting place to stay. The hotel is beautiful and very modern, some would describe it as funky. depending on the room you get they can be a little small but very nice. My only knock on this hotel would be prepared for the party scene in the lobby bar area. This is a "club" and... More

Upon arrival we had to wait quite a long time for valet. On top of it no one offered to take our bags or even held the door for us. The lady at the front desk was absolutely fantastic though. The hotel itself is stunning. This is a very hip, yet sophisticated hotel. We loved the Living Room which turns... More

This hotel is typically "W" in decor, with a terrific steakhouse on-site (Manny's) and a really luxe bar/club area. The food and beverages are great. For a romantic getaway, you would not even need to venture out of the hotel. Have a great (expensive) steakhouse dinner, grab a martini at the sleek, modern, yet warm "LIving Room", head to the...

My husband and I loved the Living Room, Prohibition, and Manny's and had excellent service at all locations, each time we went. We had a really great rate, so it made staying there far more feasible. The valet service is obnoxious at night - especially on Friday evenings, when they tend to focus more on the bar visitors and less... More

This was my second visit to the W Minneapolis and I must say I was highly disppointed with this visit. Upon check-in and subsequently visiting my room... it was dirty and the curtain was barely attached to the rod.
