The Hewing Hotel

Bu yer hakkında The Hewing Hotel

The Hewing Hotel occupies a converted timber-and-brick warehouse in Minneapolis's North Loop neighbourhood — the most design-conscious hotel in the city and one that has become the default recommendation for gay visitors seeking upscale accommodation close to the downtown nightlife corridor. The building's original industrial character has been maintained and incorporated into the aesthetic: exposed timber beams, brick walls, and the structural honesty of a 19th-century warehouse combined with sophisticated modern hotel design. The rooftop includes a sauna and outdoor hot tub — a combination that takes on genuine significance in Minneapolis winters, when a rooftop hot tub in -20°C air is one of the more remarkable experiences the city offers. The hotel bar and restaurant are among the better options in the North Loop neighbourhood. The North Loop location puts the Hewing within walking distance of the Gay 90's on Hennepin Avenue and the broader downtown nightlife area. The hotel is explicitly welcoming of LGBTQ+ guests and has been adopted by the gay travel community as the preferred upscale option in Minneapolis.
