I used to stay at W Hotels in NYC in the late 90's, as they were jumping on the boutique hotel craze started by the likes of Ian Schrager and Chris Blackwell. Their first property on Lexington in Midtown was great back then, but I hadn't been back to a W in many years as I typically eschew large, corporate... More

I stayed at this hotel as the lobby and bar are very nice and swanky. The rooms on the other hand are tiny. Like so tiny I hope you don't need to sleep and brush teet at the same time. Honestly I have not stayed in rooms this small in years. I could have stayed in the Radisson for $79... More

Stayed a night at the "W" in Minneapolis...an expensive hotel that was a bit of a disappointment, though it seems to appeal a lot to what we used to call the "yuppies" of the '80's. The W starts out good--great valet service ($28/night) jumps right in with some very friendly, helpful people. Check-in personnel were friendly and helpful, which is... More

I stayed here for a short business trip, and I was pleasantly surprised by the incredibly attentive and nice staff. I find it rare to have hotel staff seemingly bend over backwards to ensure your stay is going well. My only very minor gripes would be: the rooms are on the small side; and the business center is a bit... More

Oh my this hotel is top drawer! From the gentlemen that park our car and open the door for us every time we exit, to the room service that brought us toothbrushes when we forgot ours we were impressed. The rooms were very nice and had every accommodation you could ask for. Didn't use the mini bar but it was... More

We stayed at the W Foshay in Minneapolis for a long weekend and to visit family. The hotel was excellent. Very unique in that it is in an historic office building. The staff was all very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were comfortable and so well lit with great windows. The W hotels are of course pet friendly and we... More

Awesome stay at the W Foshay Minneapolis. The hotel is filled with diversity, from contemporary chic to charming history and nostalgia. Five star service - the staff were very present and accommodating. Loved the Prohibition bar on the top floor, classy old tunes, ambience and history. Great views and lots of character. Many choices in sleeping room accommodations. Located in... More

My wife and I recently spent a weekend at the beautiful W Foshay in Minneapolis. The property is a magnificent modern renovation of a historical Minneapolis building. The staff provided world-class service that is rare to find even the most expensive hotels in the US. (Christian at the front desk deserves special notice.) Our room exceeded all of our expectations... More
