The Hewing Hotel

The Hewing Hotel is the most design-distinguished and industrially characterful boutique luxury hotel in Minneapolis, a converted 1897 timber and brick warehouse in the North Loop neighborhood whose exposed original timber beams, rooftop hot tubs, and Tullibee restaurant have made it the most celebrated and locally beloved independent hotel in the Twin Cities market. The North Loop location gives groups access to Minneapolis's most concentrated cluster of independent restaurants, art galleries, and boutique retail, and the rooftop hot tubs overlooking the Minneapolis skyline are among the most memorable hotel amenities in the Upper Midwest. For planners booking Minneapolis programs for groups who will appreciate the craft and materiality of a beautifully restored historic building in a neighborhood that rewards exploration on foot, The Hewing is the most compelling and characterful boutique option in the city. Similar properties worth benchmarking include Hotel Ivy Minneapolis and The Shinola Hotel Detroit.
