Recommended Hotels & Inns in Minneapolis:
Nicollet Island Inn

Stay in a 19th-century converted “door and sash” factory on an island in the Mississippi. This family-owned inn boasts homey Victorian charms (stained glass windows, antiques galore), and a tasty restaurant with pretty river views. Sure, it’s the kind of place your parents might love… But who doesn’t mind cozy charm? Rooms from $209.
