Downtown, yet tucked away. Historic, yet definitively modern. Nicollet Island Inn strikes the perfect balance from its perch on Minneapolis's Nicollet Island. Originally built in the late 1800s as the Island Sash & Door Company, the building has hosted a range of inhabitants over the years before becoming one of the Twin Cities' most beloved restaurants and inns.
A truly intimate hotel, restaurant, bar, and banquet destination.
An evening at Nicollet Island Inn is more than just a night away from home. With attentive staff and cozy opulence, it ensures a comfortable, relaxing, and memorable stay. Whether you are visiting for business, a romantic escape, or a quick getaway, the Inn offers everything you need. Plus, every detail—from antique appointments and stained-glass windows to hand-carved woodwork and a glass-enclosed elevator (with the original operator's seat)—harkens back to a time when streetcars roamed the byways of a town still in its infancy.
A dining and travel experience unlike any other in the Twin Cities.
