Nicollet Island Inn

Beautiful hotel and wonderful restaurant! We loved it. Pretty ambiance and vibe.

Super comfortable bed with a ton of soft pillows, room was extra clean and spacious. We had a corner room with lots of windows. Lobby was clean, hostess was friendly and answered all our questions. We had a couple of hours to kill before our dinner reservation so we each had a glass of wine and these delicious deviled eggs as an appetizer. Bar area was decorated well. Later on we had dinner in the dining room, White linen table cloth and napkins... food was excellent, not the cheapest but well prepared and we thoroughly enjoyed our leisurely meal it their beautifully decorated dinning room. Our server was very attentive. We consumed the complimentary coffee, juice, yogurt and rolls on the front patio in the AM. The only negative would be they should have at least 2 side chairs and a small table to play cards on or...? We will be back.

Very cute, traditional and extremely well-kept, friendly staff, cool location. Easy to walk to all that NorthEast has to offer, walks along St. Anthony Main and the falls, and quiet. Didn't eat at the restaurant this trip, but have in the past and that's a great experience as well. The brick roads, the film festivals, the nature in the city. Will totally stay here again.

What a hidden gem this hotel is! The personnel, the beautiful rooms, the surroundings, the restaurant. We walked around downtown, enjoyed being by the river and seeing the city from a different view. Was truly a pleasure to stay at the Nicollet Island Inn again. Will be back soon!

Had a wonderful one night stay at the historic Nicollet Island Inn. Beautiful location and very convenient to downtown Minneapolis, St. Anthony Main/Stone Arch Bridge area and the University of Minnesota. We had a king room that was clean, comfortable, quiet, and spacious. Complimentary coffee in the morning, but no refrigerator in room. Staff was super friendly. Plenty of free parking. When you book a room, you have the option to make reservations for the restaurant, but we opted to eat elsewhere. It is expensive to stay here, but we loved it and would definitely stay again!

We stayed at the Inn for our 40th wedding anniversary, and got their ultimate romance package, which includes champagne, flowers, and sweets in the room, as well as a five-course dinner with wine, brunch the next morning, and souvenirs. It was worth every penny! Jenny, the manager, was very accommodating, handling a few special requests and helping to orchestrate a special presentation after dinner. The Inn itself and the room were delightful, with lovely views of the river and island, and antique furniture to give it a real 19th century ambiance. The mattress was a bit firm for our tastes, but probably perfect for others, and as you might expect with a 130 year old property there were signs of the building’s age, like uneven floors, but that only added to the charm. Best of all, it was very quiet and peaceful. The staff in the bar and dining room gave exquisite service. You could tell that many had been there for a long time and loved their jobs. The service was absolutely first class, and the food matched it. I had no idea that the restaurant was so good! It is truly a hidden gem! The restaurant manager assisted in presenting our anniversary rings, a surprise for my wife, and the hostess graciously videoed the whole thing to we can relive the moment for years to come. I think we have found a new anniversary tradition!
