Nicollet Island Inn - A historic riverfront hotel with fine dining and scenic views
Nicollet Island Inn occupies a restored 19th-century building on the Mississippi River, offering boutique-style accommodations with 400-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, Pharmacopia bath products, and views of the city, park, or river. Rooms feature iPod docking stations, plush robes, and continental breakfast service. The award-winning restaurant serves classic American cuisine with seasonal tasting menus-Parisian flavors in spring, hearty dishes in winter-paired with custom tea blends in a chandeliered dining room overlooking the water. Nic's Bar provides small-batch bourbons, single-malt scotches, and live music in a space with original stained-glass accents. The hotel offers twilight river cruises via Minneapolis Water Taxi from nearby Boom Island Park, and Target Field is a 20-minute walk away.
Pros
The historic property features original stained-glass windows and a 150-year-old bar imported from New Hampshire.
Seasonal multi-course dining experiences with tea pairings, including a signature Easter brunch by the river.
Complimentary continental breakfast is provided on each floor of the Nicollet Island Inn.
Private dining options range from the 10-seat Ballerina Room to the 100-guest capacity St. Anthony Room.
Free parking is available adjacent to the property, with downtown Minneapolis accessible via the Hennepin Avenue suspension bridge.
Cons
No on-site spa or fitness facilities.
The $25 historic preservation fee added to each stay may be unexpected for some guests.
