The place

Downtown Minneapolis, connected by skybridge to Target Center and within walking distance of Target Field and the Hennepin Theatre District.

The concept

A genuine brand change rather than a straight rename: Marcus Hotels & Resorts, with Hempel Real Estate and Robinson Park, acquired the independently-flagged Loews Minneapolis Hotel and rebranded it immediately on closing, March 4, 2024, as The Lofton Hotel under Hilton's Tapestry Collection — the first Tapestry Collection property in Minnesota. Interiors draw on Minneapolis's waterways, industry, music and art. Marcus Hotels & Resorts, based in Milwaukee, manages the property under Jim Waldvogel, previously of the Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington.

Dining & wellness

Cosmos, an American restaurant serving dinner on site, alongside a second bar and a coffee shop/café. Over 15,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space.

Rooms got 4 stars, because on their own, the room is fine. The bed and pillows were super comfortable. Good enough space; I paid for a single king bed on the corner. The ODD room numbers on every floor face downtown buildings and roads; I'm on the 10th floor and the late night road noise/traffic noise during the weekend was borderline unbearable until about 2am; I probably should have asked to be moved to an even number room. The bathroom was fine, but the shower door didn't stay flush, so shower water essentially spilled onto the floor. To get to the guest rooms, you must take 2 elevators...from the lobby to the 4th floor, then key fob there to a higher floor. I don't know why Minny has so many hotel rooms....this place has roughly 400 rooms, but there are NOT that many people here. Cosmos restaurant was "under construction"...but it was not under construction...it was closed from lack of necessity, and apparently this is a moth-balled project because there is zero demand for this restaurant. The service was fine; Super easy to check in, and there was always staff present at the front desk, which was super nice. They were friendly, but I didn't have too many requests from them. Had I asked for a new room, i'm confident they would have accommodated me. In a building of 400 rooms, I highly doubt they're at capacity; I'd bet they only have about 10 other guests at a time. The location is fine. It's relatively central, and super close to Target center and the baseball stadium. Again, the even numbered rooms would overlook those; be mindful when checking in. So all these things got 4 stars, because on their own, the room, service and location is fine. But altogether, the hotel is a 2. The sub-par bathroom, the lack of food options, the noise really detract from this experience.

Ali, made our stay exceptional. He was welcoming, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. His excellent customer service and attention to detail truly made a difference. Thank you, Ali, for your kindness and outstanding hospitality. We highly recommend this hotel because of staff members like you

Our room was immaculate and extremely comfortable. We had a city view, wonderful. The bed and pillows were perfect. Love the shower, the horizontal jets were great on my back. Cozy robes a big plus. There were lots of other guests nearby but our room was quiet and peaceful. The nicest hotel stay we have had in Minneapolis.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The room was neat, simple, and comfortable, and everything felt clean and in good condition. It’s not overly fancy, but it has everything you need for a solid stay. The location is definitely one of the best parts—super easy to walk around and close to places like Target Center, Target Field, and First Avenue. There are also plenty of food and drink options nearby, plus the convenience of having a restaurant at the hotel. The area felt comfortable and active, especially around the main streets. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the overall experience was smooth. Great choice for a business trip.
Ruben F. · 5/5

I would not recommend staying here. While the hotel looks nice and the location is convenient, the overall experience was disappointing. The hotel felt very disorganized, and the service especially in the restaurant was poor. My experience with the night manager, Kevin, was extremely uncomfortable and came across as discriminatory. What made things worse was witnessing how upper management, particularly Mark, spoke to and treated employees. As a guest, that is not something I should have to see. It was clear that employees were not valued or respected, and that atmosphere carries over into the guest experience as well. Management seemed disconnected and uninterested unless they needed employees to stay longer. Overall, the hotel gave the impression that neither staff nor guests are genuinely appreciated. There are much better places to spend your money.
