Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in Minnesota

Recent travelers have plenty of praise for the Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis. Accommodations, which guests described as stylish and comfortable, are uniquely decorated, with many featuring details like exposed wood, metal or brick to pay tribute to the hotel's origins as a warehouse. All rooms and suites include flat-screen TVs, curated private bars and complimentary Wi-Fi access. When it's time for a bite to eat, visitors can head to the on-site restaurant Tullibee, which features seasonal cuisine, hearty dishes and shareable plates. Patrons praised the meals at the eatery, but also said the hotel's location in the heart of the city makes it easy to walk to other nearby dining options as well, which they appreciated. What's more, the rooftop bar, sauna and hot tub – which are open year-round – were all hits with recent guests, too. Those in town on business can also take advantage of the hotel's meeting space, which consists of a library, boardrooms and a ballroom. The only downside, according to some, is that select rooms do not offer great views. So if that's important, be sure to request a city view room when booking.
