First off, the Foshay building is very cool, so many elegant touches that hark back to the 1920's. The problem is that the W hotel is just a glitzy pretentious business slapped on top of a great historical landmark; the hotel totally fails to embody the essence of the Foshay or to really bring out the character of the building.... more

I am sorry that your visit to the W Minneapolis, the Foshay did not match your expectations. The hotel is on the national register of historical buildings and every effort has been undertaken to preserve the heritage and feel of the era it was built, down to the original flooring in the arcade and original lift doors. As for the...

Stayed here with my husband on a Friday night before a friend's wedding. As somewhat of a W Hotel Snob, and someone who is in the hotel/event industry I can say that this is my favorite so far! I agree with previous reviews about this hotel being dark. It's done is a very classy and sexy way. With unexpected pops... more

We stayed at this hotel for our One Year Wedding Anniversary. We have a 4 month old and were looking forward to our first night away and a very quiet and relaxing night away together. The hotel came recomended as it is very trendy and a Must See Hotel. Well trendy it was, and that is about IT. We stayed... more

Paid about $125 per night (all taxes/fees included) for a king size bed room (OCT 2009) from 1800hotels. Building/area: Read up on the Foshay building and its history. That's where the W is located after a multimillion $ renovation. Beautiful building. A very nice mix of retro and ultra modern features inside. It is located downtown, lots of business buildings... more

I stayed at the W Foshay for three nights for a work conference (around 50 people were in our group), and we were all treated to exquisite service. Their staff was genuine and friendly, and I found this to be the best feature of the hotel. The W Foshay is a dark (as in 'not well-lit) hotel. It's very sexy... more

My stay was great. Location is excellent. Right in the heart of town. Room was great. Super plasma TV and DVD player with a full selection of DVD's to play. Bathroom was fine. Ask for one with a tub if you want a tub. Room service was late with breakfast and I ordered a fruit plate and it was somewhat... more

Wanted someplace to stay in the Midwest that was fun & hip. This place was great. Stayed in the spectacular room, wouldn't pay more for another room. The room was small but comfortable, rain shower was great. Dress for hotel is definately smart casual (faded jeans with holes frowned upon). Close to shopping and many many great places to dine.... more

I really enjoyed my stay at the W Foshay. It is conveniently located near the Nicolette pedestrian mall and many shops/restaurants. The building is beautiful! Take some time to go to the 30th floor and read about the history. They also have a nice observation deck with beautiful views of the city and surrounding area. The staff were very attentive... more

We parked in the marten ramp and found it very convient. It's on 10th & Marquette. Loved eating at Manny's, always great food and service. more

With the exception of the sidewalk and street construction, my stay at The W was very nice. The place is very dark and shadowy, but very smart and stylish. My room was well appointed and very quiet. The staff was attentive and helpful. Go to the 32nd floor observatory and check out the Foshay Memorbilia and the view from the... more
