Once-historic bank becomes modern Minneapolis luxury

The downtown Westin Minneapolis is a faithful blend of historic significance and modern luxury. Transformed from the Farmers & Mechanics Bank, this Tony four-star hotel retains the original World War II era woodwork, marble staircase and vaulted lobby. Guest rooms are equipped with modern amenities like MP3 players, flat-screen TVs and Internet access (fees apply). Following adventure on the town, the end-of-day rewards here are plenty: an indoor pool cloaked in midnight blue, a dimly lit cocktail lounge and a savory dish or decadent treat at B.A.N.K.

Highlights

  • The penthouse patio boasts panoramic views of the city
  • Original bank vault converted into a wine cellar at B.A.N.K.
  • Partake in a true "no interruption" function in the hotel's vault-secured meeting room
  • Walking distance to Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis Convention Center, Metrodome, Target Center and Hennepin Theatre District

Rooms

All 214 guest rooms at The Westin Minneapolis offer superior comfort. Decorated in sandstone colors blended with creams, whites and bamboo, the atmosphere is refreshingly modern. Featuring the famed Westin Heavenly Bed, all beds are dressed in rich fabrics and include dreamy touches like an ultra-thick pillow top mattress, fluffy down comforter and lots of throw pillows. Rooms at the Westin come complete for business travelers with a spacious work desk, mesh swivel chair and chaise lounge. Request an upgrade for a city or courtyard views or a private balcony.

Features

The Westin Minneapolis keeps indoor and outdoor fitness buffs in mind. Warm up in the hotel's fitness center and heated indoor pool. Golfers are minutes from the Highland Golf Course and Stonebrooke Golf Club.

Dining

Located in the lobby, B.A.N.K. offers stylish American dining. The lively open atmosphere is great for people watching across the huge center-stage oval bar and large dining room. Those looking for a quiet escape can take to the more intimate B.A.N.K. lounge for small plates and cocktails.

A very Classy place!!

A Beautiful Hotel in an updated old Bank building in a great location downtown. The room was spacious and modern. We had excellent care from their staff. My only complaint - $30 per night for parking.

Amazing hotel in Minneapolis

I spent 4 nights in Twins Cities in two different times, I have changed always hotel, last night i tried the westin minneapolis, it was best solution. The hotel is located in the heart of minneapolis, for example it is near to Nicollet mall ( the shopping street of Minneapolis). The hotel building, in the past, was a bank and the interior aspect is still the same, so it seems to be in a 50th's movie. The room is very comfortable and it has a modern design look.

Great location!

A friend and I stayed in Minneapolis for the marathon and found the Westin was perfect for our needs. Close to everything for shopping and the rail for traveling. Thanks Orbitz!

Excellent in every way

I can't think of anything that needs improvement. Great location in walking distance of the nightlife in downtown. The staff was friendly at checkin. Valet parking was $30. Room was exceptionally clean and everything looked brand new. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud and the room was quiet. Great deal as it was 20-50 cheaper than the other high end hotels in downtown on this night.

Overnight getaway

This hotel is superb! The only thing I would change would be not having housekeeping banging on the door at 8am (There was a mix-up and they thought we had already checked out?) but otherwise our stay was amazing. Would definitely go back!

On par with Westin's overseas

When compared to other Westin properties we've stayed in around the world, this hotel did not disappoint! In fact we were surprised by the level of comfort, service and sophistication of the place. Something we did not anticipate in Minneapolis! Strongly recommend this hotel.
