Hotel Indigo Minneapolis Downtown, an IHG Hotel

Hotel Indigo, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts' luxury and lifestyle portfolio, continues to strengthen its presence in the midwestern United States with the opening of Hotel Indigo Minneapolis Downtown. Rising from the city skyline in the heart of Downtown Minneapolis, the hotel invites guests to experience the true Star of the North with convenient access to the area's trendy shops, innovative dining scene and celebrated venues like the Orpheum Theatre and First Avenue.

Just as no two neighborhoods are alike, no two Hotel Indigo properties are alike. Hotel Indigo Minneapolis Downtown, owned by Great Lakes Management Group, has been thoughtfully designed to reflect its surrounding neighborhood's spirit of individuality and optimism. The 218-room hotel is housed in the original Northstar Center, which was built in the 1960s nearby a Greyhound bus station and united some of the most vibrant downtown blocks to form a "city within a city" - central to the revitalization of Minneapolis' downtown.

Today, the hotel is imbued with subtle nods to old Minneapolis - a diverse world-class city that once was an industrial mill town on the Mississippi River - and features stained glass, photography and other items from the original Northstar Hotel.

The space flaunts a sleek mid-century modern design scheme, accented by textural woods and plaid wall-coverings in moss green, that is carried from its public spaces into the guest rooms. Works from local artists and vinyl records throughout pay homage to the rich music history of Minneapolis, which was once the record distribution capital of the U.S.

The Hotel Indigo brand is widely celebrated for restaurants and bars that are neighborhood gems - lively spaces that bring visitors and locals together. Star Bar & Bistro, the American bistro by local restaurateur Kim Bartmann, draws diners in with an enticing menu with a French flair. Dishes are prepared with ingredients from local purveyors, including Peterson Craftsman Meat, Larry Schultz Organic Farm and DragSmith Farms. Inspired craft cocktails enhance the cuisine and feature local spirits from Tattersall Distilling Company and Norsemen Distillery.

Additional hotel amenities include a fitness center overlooking the city with cardio and weight-training equipment as well as a business center and marketplace in the lobby. Beyond the hotel's doors, guests can discover the neighborhood's iconic theaters and music venues, such as State Theatre or The Armory, as well as attractions like Loring Park, the Sculpture Garden at The Walker and U.S. Bank Stadium.

Guests will also have access to a best-in-class loyalty program, IHG One Rewards, which is centered around its guests - giving them richer benefits and more ways to earn than ever before, all powered by leading technology on its new mobile app.
