At the Nicollet Island Inn, we raise the essence of a traditional inn to new levels-combining the classic and the modern to produce a truly intimate hotel, restaurant, bar & banquet destination. Featured in USA Today, Conde Nast Traveler, Gourmet, Bon Appetit, the New York Times & many regional publications, Nicollet Island Inn offers a quiet oasis along a storied river, near the heart of Downtown Minneapolis, one of America's most dynamic cities. Whether big or small, all occasions are special occasions at the Nicollet Island Inn. We offer a variety of private dining options for celebrations of all kinds, from quiet intimate spaces to full banquet rooms.
