The take
The Take
The Vibe
Hotel Ivy foregrounds its building as the primary attraction: a restored civic-era property where limestone, high ceilings and period proportions are the defining features. The renovation leans into those bones rather than erasing them, layering mahogany, leather and midnight-blue velvet to enhance the original drama. The result is a classic, quietly opulent hotel that reads as deliberately crafted rather than trendy. Guests experience a warm, tactile interior that still feels architecturally authentic — a place where the property’s history and material richness create the prevailing mood.
Best For
This is a downtown Minneapolis option for travelers who prize architectural character and refined finishes. The Luxury Collection positioning and comparison with other premium city hotels make it well suited to business travelers seeking a polished base in the city. Its generous ceiling heights and luxe materials also make it a comfortable choice for couples on romantic getaways or for guests marking special celebrations. In short, Hotel Ivy appeals to visitors who want a hotel whose restored historic fabric is integral to the stay rather than mere backdrop.
Stay Tips
Pay attention to the building’s architectural features when choosing a room: the copy notes that every room and suite has 10-foot 'floating' ceilings, so generous volume is a standard part of the experience. When booking, prioritize accommodations that highlight original proportions and the mahogany-and-leather finishes mentioned in the renovation — those details shape the stay. Because the property’s appeal is its preserved character, allow time during your visit to take in the public spaces and finishes rather than treating the hotel as purely functional.

Hotel context
How it compares in downtown Minneapolis
Hotel Ivy is the more formal luxury choice in this group, especially for Marriott loyalists and special-occasion stays. W Minneapolis - The Foshay is the better fit for travelers who want a more social, design-led hotel mood, while The Marquette Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton is the cleaner cross-shop for Hilton loyalty value and business travel practicality.
If price is the main constraint, compare rates closely with Hyatt Centric Downtown Minneapolis and The Chambers Hotel before committing. Those peers can make more sense for a shorter downtown stay where the room is mainly a base. Hotel Ivy earns its premium when the stay itself matters, not just the location.
