Historic boutique inn on Nicollet Island with award-winning dining overlooking the Mississippi River

Dining

Nicollet Island Inn's restaurant has been recognized as the Best Hotel Dining and Most Romantic Restaurant in Minneapolis. The seasonal tasting menus are paired with custom-blended teas, and the Sunday brunch offers a Lobster/Steak Eggs Benedict that has drawn repeat visitors. Private dining rooms create intimate spaces for events, and the bar serves the signature Island Fashioned with Buffalo Trace bourbon and cranberry-peach bitters.

Rooms

Guest rooms include a plasma-screen TV, work desk, designer bath amenities, bathrobes, and high thread-count sheets. Some rooms offer views of the Mississippi River, and the historic building retains antique decor with original wood and marble. Each room is accessed with a physical key, and corner rooms provide additional windows and natural light.

Location

The hotel sits on Nicollet Island, across the Mississippi River from downtown Minneapolis, with walking access to the Stone Arch Bridge and Mill City Museum. Boom Island Park is within a 5-minute drive, and St. Anthony Falls is nearby. The island offers a quiet, park-like setting while being a short walk to restaurants and attractions in Northeast Minneapolis.

Events & Entertainment

The inn regularly hosts musical and cultural events in its Cabaret Series. Private dining rooms are available for weddings, corporate meetings, and celebrations, with customizable catering services. The bar features an extensive selection of micro-brews and craft cocktails, plus happy hour and live sport events.

Services & Amenities

Complimentary continental breakfast with fresh pastries is set out on each floor each morning. Free parking is provided on-site, a rarity for a downtown-adjacent hotel. The hotel is pet-friendly, offering pet bowls, and facilities include a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, and luggage storage.

Location: Nicollet Island, across Mississippi River from downtown

Dining: Award-winning restaurant with seasonal tasting menus and afternoon tea

“Located on Nicollet Island, this historic inn struck me as a tranquil escape with stunning river views. Its award-winning restaurant and intimate private dining spaces seem ideal for both romantic getaways and special events. I admire the blend of antique charm and modern comfort, along with the hotel's commitment to culinary excellence, particularly its seasonal tasting menus.”
