Hotels in Minneapolisa historic mid-range boutique inn on the Mississippi River
8.8/10
A strong pick for riverfront character and personal service, with a few old-fashioned limitations.
Nicollet Island Inn is a historic mid-range boutique inn, not a modern luxury hotel—and it's a strong pick for a romantic Minneapolis break. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise the welcoming staff, peaceful setting and period character; Booking.com also scores cleanliness and comfort highly. Restaurants and river walks are close by, and free parking makes it practical for drivers.
The trade-offs are mostly about conveniences. Guests repeatedly describe the included continental breakfast as light, and several miss having an in-room refrigerator. The restaurant and bar close Mondays and Tuesdays, so plan meals elsewhere on those days. Expedia also lists a mandatory per-stay resort fee; confirm it before booking. We'd choose it for atmosphere and attentive service, but skip it if contemporary rooms and a substantial breakfast are priorities.
