The Depot Minneapolis

The Depot Minneapolis is the most architecturally dramatic historic hotel in the Twin Cities, a Renaissance Hotels property housed within the magnificently restored 1899 Milwaukee Road Depot where the original Great Hall, arched brick vaulting, and industrial grandeur of one of America's great Gilded Age railway stations create a meeting and events backdrop of rare civic scale and visual power. With an indoor water park, ice skating rink, and a location in the vibrant Mill District steps from the Guthrie Theater and the Minneapolis riverfront, it is the ideal choice for planners seeking a Minneapolis venue that combines historic architectural impact, broad leisure programming, and a genuine sense of the city's industrial heritage.
