The Grand Hotel Minneapolis a Kimpton Hotel

great location and amenities. very large and updated bathroom. my only complains: 1. they charge $10/day for internet access 2. calling front desk is a bit weird for a hotel - no one seemed eager to pick up the phone there

One of the nicest hotels in the area! Location was great and skyway access was very convenient.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Great location, within walking distance of Metrodome and many great restaurants. Walkable to art museums and sculpture garden. Very comfortable room, despite the awkward layout and dead space.

Checked in for a romantic birthday night for my wife. Room was clean and tidy with all the amenities. Would have liked to be able to fetch my own ice for bottle of wine that we brought along, but hotel has you request ice service. My wife especially liked the deep tub with built in wall television.

The staff members were personable and courteous. The bed was a bit too soft and restaurant hours limited, but still the best hotel stay I ever had.

Very nice decor, bathroom are a little small and lack counter space but nice rooms. Good downtown location. Free wine from 5 to 6 every night is a nice.

This is an elegant hotel with a great staff. The morning coffee in the lobby was good, but it would have been nice to have a coffeemaker in the room.

I'm very pleased to give the Grand Hotel Minneapolis top marks. Before arriving, I had assumed that it might be slightly 'stuffy' - but how wrong I was. Staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming from the moment I checked in. Room was spotless and well equipped (the only thing it lacked for me was a coffee maker or kettle). Hotel facilities were well above average: the limited opening hours of the business centre were off-set by free in-room internet access (just register for loyalty scheme, but this is free) and understand business centre facilities are in any case in process of being improved. The 'wine tasting' hour is just one example of how guests were made to feel welcome (and not as though they are merely being squeezed constantly for an extra pound or dollar) . Other hotel chains please take note: I will be actively seeking out Kimpton's hotels in future, as they clearly know how to ensure that their guests leave not merely content, but happy.

The hotel is conveniently located about 2 blocks from the lite rail system, which is wonderful. We took a 3-hour bus tour of the twin cities and would recommend this highly. We visited both the Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Institute of Art and both were outstanding. Bike riding is very popular and the hotel provides bikes even though the city rents them for $5 a day. The food was delicious, the people super friendly and we felt very safe being downtown. A fun, relaxing stay and would recommend it to friends.

I had a great 5 day stay at the Grand! Everyone was friendly and efficient, and I was treated exceptionally well. I was there over my birthday and I was even treated to champange and cupcakes by the staff! The only downside to the hotel is that you can't pull up in front of it, so if you're driving, you need to park by the valet stand or find a parking ramp right away. This is only a real issue if you drive; taxis just swing around in front and pick up or drop off. An exceptional experience all around!
