Moxy by Marriott Minneapolis Uptown

Trendy, affordable base in Uptown Minneapolis

Modern, playful, and full of personality, Moxy by Marriott Minneapolis Uptown is a 2-star hotel that doesn’t feel like one. Tucked in the heart of Minneapolis’s vibrant Uptown district, it’s close to the city’s biggest music venues and nightlife. With a hip vibe, sleek communal spaces, and a bar that doubles as check-in, this is a great spot for anyone in town chasing live music and good times.

Just over 3 miles from major venues like Target Field and U.S. Bank Stadium, and only 2.1 miles from scenic Lake Harriet, the hotel also offers a fitness center, free WiFi, and a social lounge that becomes a buzzing hub at night.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans love how close the hotel is to Minneapolis’s top venues—just a short rideshare or bus away. The 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals a breeze, and the on-site bar stays lively well into the night. Rooms are compact but cleverly designed, and surprisingly quiet given the social atmosphere downstairs. Plus, with table tennis and a built-in nightclub, the party doesn’t have to end when the encore does.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a fun, energetic base
• Solo travelers in town for a once-in-a-lifetime show
• Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans who want to wind down in a quieter room after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers wanting style without the splurge

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full restaurant on-site, the bar serves snacks and drinks late into the night. The neighborhood is packed with walkable dining options, from casual bites to late-night eats. Breakfast isn’t a big focus here, but nearby cafes have you covered the morning after. No 24/7 room service, but the front desk can help steer you to food any time.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself features a nightclub and lively bar scene, often with DJs or local music spinning late. Uptown is known for its nightlife, and you’re steps from cocktail lounges, dive bars, and music clubs. If you're looking to pre-game or keep the night going, you won’t need to go far.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s cool design and social vibe, with many loving the energetic bar and communal areas. Travelers say it’s a great value for the location, and appreciate the easy access to public transportation and rideshares. Most note the rooms are small but functional, perfect for people who are out enjoying the city anyway.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can be on the smaller side—great for sleeping, not sprawling. There’s no traditional breakfast or restaurant, so foodies may want to explore the neighborhood. Some guests mentioned parking can be limited or pricey, so plan ahead if you're driving.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Minneapolis for a concert and want a fun, affordable place to crash close to the action, Moxy Minneapolis Uptown hits all the right notes.
