The front desk clerk was very friendly and competent. She provided us with our keys promptly and informed us that wine was being served for about an hour. She asked us about our trip and what we were planning to do in Minneapolis. We asked for a room away from the elevator, in a high floor, in a quiet location.... More

I stayed here for a wedding that was held here, an old-fashioned downtown elegant wedding that the Grand staff pulled off perfectly. I couldn't have been more impressed. The room was roomy and well appointed, all staff were friendly. The bed was comfortable, the towels were plump, the shampoo and conditioner were high quality. The pool connected to the club... More

This was probably the best hotel I have ever stayed in. It was a beautiful hotel, the staff were great and the room was lovely. I stayed for 4 nights for a conference and it was about a 10 minute walk to the convention centre, but it was easy enough because it was all flat. Very helpful staff, easy check-in.... More

As always with Kimpton, a beautifully-designed hotel with excellent amenities. My favorite "bonus" has to have been the tub with a TV to watch and the large refillable bottles of C&O Bigelow products in the shower, instead of the many small (and wasteful) bottles. We were very close to the adjacent office building, so we had to be careful with... More

Kimpton Hotels offer wonderful amenities for their guests. The Grand is no exception. It has a top-notch fitness facility with a lap pool and racquetball courts.
