The Marquette Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton is an upper-middle-range Hilton property connected to the IDS Center and at the center of the city’s Skyway system. Its 282 rooms are spacious, but some guests find the decor a bit dated. The hotel has two restaurants and a lounge, ample meeting and event space, and a 24-hour fitness center on-site, plus guests staying on the Executive Level can utilize a lounge with a free breakfast and evening appetizers. Guests should note, however, that parking is limited and pricey, and there’s a fee for in-room Wi-Fi (free in public spaces). For something with more stylish and modern decor, travelers might want to check out the The Commons Hotel -- but it's not located downtown.

Located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis, between the Target Center and Hennepin Ave, the Loews Minneapolis is a sleek and modern, 251-room high-rise hotel that appeals to couples, tourists, and business travelers alike. Etched-glass headboards, five-head showers, iPod docks, and custom mattresses indicate the attention to detail paid in rooms.

Unlike the nearby, similarly priced Westin and Radisson Blu, the Loews has a full-service spa -- but it lacks the Westin's heated indoor pool.
