Exotic modern jewel in Minneapolis

Rising 22 stories above the city, the Graves 601 Hotel is an eclectic beauty in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. Directly across from Target Center and connected by Skyway to miles of shopping and business, this stylish hotel is nothing short of marvelous. With backlit photographs inspired by local culture, glass-etched handcrafted headboards in every room, and a lobby filled with marble, frosted glass and paldao wood, modern beauty prevails. Graves 601 is a AAA Four Diamond hotel that also features a fitness center, spa and notable restaurants.

Highlights

  • Voted World's Best Business Hotel by Travel + Leisure
  • Great Value Vacations noted by Conde Nast Traveler
  • Free nightly shoe shine
  • Guest rooms include flat-screen plasma TVs

Location

Minneapolis boasts a thriving arts community, including the Gehry-designed Weisman Art Museum and the Hennepin Theatre district. Walk to a Timberwolves game, or start the day with a cherry on top; the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is just a few blocks away.

Rooms

A Wyndham property, the Graves 601 rooms and suites prove high style can equal comfort. Bathed in pale maple and almond tones, the beds feature unique glass-etched headboards and Italian-made Frette sheets. The bathrooms include rain showers, limestone vessel sinks, embroidered robes and a 50-gram bar of Hermes soap. Audiophiles will pine for the penthouse Concert Suite, with its baby grand piano and acoustically-correct Corinthian Leather circular alcove.

Features

The Graves 601 Hotel fitness center is always open for burning calories. Follow up a workout with head-to-toe pampering at Jewel Spa, offering 4-Handed Massage, a Vinotherapy Wine Wrap, sugar scrubs and more.

Dining

While guests at Graves 601 enjoy 24-hour room service, the real draw is in the hotel's two outstanding restaurants. Cosmos, the only AAA Four Diamond restaurant in Minneapolis, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With grilled Iowa lamb chops on the menu and an Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator Magazine, make sure to call ahead for a reservation. Bradstreet Crafthouse serves innovative dishes and classic mixology in a Pre-Prohibition era setting.

We had a great time, the hotel was amazing, we were very impressed. Wish we could have stayed there longer and we definitely want to go back. The rooms were clean, bed was cozy, view from our window was awesome and the location could not have been better!

This hotel might be one of the nicest places that my husband and I have ever stayed at, and we've stayed alot of places. It smells amazingly clean and fresh when you walk in.

Well worth a stay

I have stayed at Graves 601 a few times now and couldn't ask for a better experience. Hence why I have returned. Good location, clean rooms, very friendly and helpful staff and the bed and massage shower are to die for. A particularly nice touch is each time I have checked in, within 15 minutes ice is brought to the room. Saves those annoying hallway hunts. The only qualm I have is the cost of valet parking. But block E parking ramp is 2 minutes walk away at only $13 for 24 hours. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking at staying in Minneapolis. It isn't the cheapest hotel, but it isn't the most expensive either. Worth every star

Solera Restaurant, a five minute walk away is moderately priced and has a fantastic selection of wine and tapas with service that matches that of Graves 601.
