Downtown Minneapolis hotel reopens after $40 million renovation
A Downtown Minneapolis hotel reopened this week after a $40 million renovation closed its doors for six months.
The Sheraton Minneapolis Downtown Convention Center, which sits on the site of the historic Capp Towers Motor Hotel, reopened on Thursday, May 21. Until it was closed in November, the hotel was known as the Millennium Hotel Minneapolis.
The 14-story hotel sits at the doorstep of the Minneapolis Convention Center and features 321 guest rooms as well as 19 event spaces, the company revealed in an announcement. It also added a pair of dining concepts and an indoor pool as part of the refresh.
The renovation was completed with the architecture and design firm Gensler, which added many new amenities. That includes The Community Table, a communal workspace; The Booths, a series of soundproof spaces for finding some quiet or making calls; and The Studios, bright studios for small group meetings.
The new restaurants include Esther's Table, which is named for Esther Capp, the matriarch of the Capp family, which owns and operates the hotel. The Sheraton announcement said the restaurant, helmed by Chef Keven Kvalsten, will focus on seasonal, Midwest-inspired cuisine.
Meanwhile, the lobby features &More by Sheraton, which serves an all-day menu that includes coffee and cocktails.
