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.

Perfect for a short business trip

I was very pleasantly surprised at how lovely this hotel was - I got more than I had expected. The building has character and my room was clean and very comfortable. The staff were courteous and helpful. It's centrally located in downtown Mpls near many theaters and restaurants. Definitely recommend!

Perfect Birthday Gift

The staff at the Westin is excellent, they were more than helpful with answering questions/recommendations for the Minneapolis area. The price was outstanding for the location and overall impression we got from the hotel. The restaurant was fantastic. Highly recommend the Westin for a Minneapolis vacation!

If you are in a mood to dance and get reasonably priced drinks check out The Saloon on Hennepin Ave. Just a quick 5 blocks from the Westin.

Super service

I had a fantastic time at the Westin--I was arranging a surprise for my husband to renew our vows, and when the staff heard about it, they upgraded me to a gorgeous suite. The hotel was beautiful, the staff was so friendly, and we had a terrific time.

Luxurious and Affordable

Stayed at The Westin to catch a show at The Target Center. The staff was amazing, the room, a deluxe city view king was bright, elegant and comfortable. The staff happily gave us a slightly later check out and the experience was overall excellent! Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent service at top end hotel

When I arrived, there was no record of my reservation and they were sold out for the evening. I gave them my reservation numbers. They sent me to the lounge and bought me a beer while they sorted it out. 15 minutes later I had a very nicely appointed standard room. That evening I told them I needed a ride to the airport at 4:00 am and a cab was waiting for me the next morning. The hotel was a short walk to the ballpark. Couldn't have been any better.

After a day's worth of business meetings, an evening at the ballpark was perfect.
