Inn

95 Merriam St, Minneapolis, MN

Escape to a tranquil, self-contained oasis nestled on a historic island in the middle of the Mississippi River, just moments from the downtown core. This deeply independent, single-property boutique hotel is housed inside a masterfully restored 1893 limestone building that originally served as a horse-car factory. Featuring just 24 individually decorated guest rooms adorned with hand-carved wood furniture and classic premium fixtures, the inn offers scenic, first-tier views of the riverfront and the city skyline alongside a highly acclaimed, scratch-made culinary experience at the on-site Nicollet Island Inn Restaurant.
