Affluent and impressive, the lobby boasts a front desk that's literally a desk, not one of those airport-style counters. Each of the 140 rooms is unique, but all include Wi-Fi, Egyptian cotton linens, plush down comforters, silk and terry robes and marble bathrooms with Aveda products. Guests also have access to a state-of-the-art athletic facility with a pool, racquetball courts, gymnasium and... more

Most people probably have no need for the $3,000-a-night Presidential Suite with four rooms, two fireplaces and a grand piano, but it's nice to have options.

Perfection by Jen B. at InsiderPages

If you want grace, service, and comfort in your hotel, the Grand is for you. The rooms are spacious and decorated in a classic, rich style. The staff is extremely helpful and will go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is pleasant. I would recommend the Grand to anyone---it is the essence of class!

3 STAR- but not much more.

brought to you by

I think this hotel is nice and has some great perks about it. You will see it has a wonderful gym and nice people. The food here is so-so and the service can be good, but often it can be non-existent. It is definitely better than a Best Western type of hotel but holds no candle to a Ritz or Four Seasons. I question some of the other reviews as to what type of lodging they are used to so as to... more

this hotel is beautiful! But beautiful and functional. The rooms have such warmth and the beds are fanstastic. The hotel is in a wonderful location and the staff is great, They were able to get us into a 5 star restaurant with ease. There is a price to pay (about 200.00 per night, but if you can indulge, do so here.

We went here for my birthday weekend, and could not have been more impressed! The room we reserved was not ready at our check in time, so they upgraded us to a suite, no charge! The room was amazing, the robes were amazing, and the bed was super comfy! The staff was extra curtious, and we felt like royalty the whole weekend. The only thing negative I can say is I wish it were closer to the... more

A top choice

brought to you by

Citysearch

Very nice hotel with good service. Valet is convenient, however you must leave your car with valet and then walk around the corner to get to the entrance of the hotel - which can be very cold in the winter and somewhat diminishes the purpose of leaving your car with the valet. Nice beds and linens, great shower. Hotel itself is very well kept but does feel rather old.

Recently stayed at my favortie hotel again (The Grand) and am continually impressed by their consistent levels of quality and service. This is not some overly trendy, under-serviced room with a view, but more of what you expect for your money in a big city. Smiling, sincerely helpful staff, elegant and well appointed rooms, and a sincerity from everyone you encounter (no fake butt-kissing). ... more

I was visiting Minniapolis for Thanksgiving vacation and I stayed at the Grand Hotel. The service was amazing and the beds were to die for. The bellman made sure that every need was met. The room was so pretty, and the beds were to die for!! The breakfast wasn't so great, but the hotel is close to a lot of hip restaurants. I can't wait to vist the Twin Cities again so I can stay at this hotel.

The name says it all. The Grand stands out in a city of low class and convention hotels. It's the small things that make a big difference: complimentry coffee with wakeup calls, chocolate with turndown service, personal and friendly concierge style checkin (after sitting down for a checkin you will never want to stand again). The Grand brings that touch of class and style that's been missing... more

Taking cues from the movie stars, entertainers and sports stars that consider this their home-away-from-home, the Grand is a welcome addition to the chains and old outdated options in the Twin Cities. Clean, upscale - tvs in the bath! - can't beat it!

Best Place in Mpls

brought to you by

Citysearch

The Grand Hotel is far and away the best place to stay in Minneapolis. The ammenities and service are second to none. Minneapolis has needed a hotel like this for a long time. There are a few that come close, but nothing compares to a stay at the Grand.

I will definitely be back.

Pros

+ Incredible HealthClub, Immaculate Rooms, SERVICE!!!!!!!

I stayed at the Grand for one night on a business trip. The room was nice, though not especially large. The bathroom was at least a third of the room space, so that was more impressive.

The hotel was very fancy! The amenities were top of the line. The bathrooms were large and completely marble.And the bed was great. The staff was very helpful and friendly. However, for the price I thought the room would be bigger. It felt small, since the king sized bed over-took the room. The view was nothing to behold so we kept the shades drawn. We used the pool with the complimentary... more

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with a weekend at the Grand. Excellent, world-class service from the moment I booked the room until we reluctantly left Sunday morning.
