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.

Club Seven is an amazing place, not that long of a walk but not a short walk either (it was 5 degrees when i was down there so that probably made it longer..TWSS)

Very enjoyable and relaxing. I wish I had known about the plethora of parking in MN; I would have saved a lot on valet. But the service was great. I would stay there again.

Great Hotel

The Westin is a beautiful hotel with very nice guest rooms. The bed and bathrooms are some of the best I've ever seen in any hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The elevators are ran completely by your room key, which is a nice safety feature, but they did create issues as they seemed to have difficulty reading sometimes. Parking in the area is less than desirable, but overall it was a good experience, and I would definitely stay again.

I was disappointed. It was just the name.

The Westin provided no parking except for expense valet parking unless you wanted to drag your luggage down the street. The check in was rather slow and to find the registration desk was difficult. It would of been helpful if someone would of offered to carry your luggage in or directed you to the back of the hotel behind the very nice restaurant. The bathroom was small with dim lighting which was hard to see. The shower was nice but no bath tub. The hotel had a beautiful stainless steel pool. I would of appreciate real cups for coffee in the room rather than paper cups. The coffee brand was very nice. The lack of parking makes it not accessibe if you have a car.
