The Westin Minneapolis

Classic Luxury in the Heart of Downtown Minneapolis

Modern comfort meets historic charm at The Westin Minneapolis, a converted 1941 bank building turned sleek downtown hotel. With its blend of warm earth tones, rich wood furnishings, and thoughtful amenities like a 42-inch flat-screen TV and in-room coffee maker, this hotel balances sophistication with cozy ease. Just four minutes from the Minneapolis Convention Center and close to major music venues, it’s a prime spot for concert-goers looking to stay central.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’ll love how conveniently located The Westin is, putting you within walking distance or a short ride from many of Minneapolis’s top concert venues. After the show, return to a quiet, comfortable room — thanks to good sound insulation and a peaceful atmosphere. With a late check-out at noon, there’s no need to rush your morning after a late night, and the on-site hot tub is a perfect place to unwind.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish central base
• Solo travelers chasing their favorite artist
• Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans who want a quiet, comfortable space to recharge
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want modern perks

Food and Drink Options

If you're coming back from a late show, the on-site B.A.N.K. Restaurant and Lounge has you covered with all-day American cuisine served in a stylish setting with an open kitchen and oval bar. While 24/7 room service isn't listed, the central location means you're steps away from downtown eateries. In-room coffee machines are a plus, and breakfast is available to help you recover the next morning.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t feature live music, its downtown location gives you instant access to nearby bars, lounges, and clubs. The on-site bar is a great place to start your evening with a craft cocktail before heading out to your concert.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests noted that parking was valet-only and a bit pricey, and a few wished for extended hours at the pool. But overall, these are minor trade-offs for the location and style.

The Bottom Line

With its ideal downtown location, plush rooms, and peaceful vibe, The Westin Minneapolis is a top pick for concert-goers seeking comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury.
