Staying in North Loop
The North Loop is the most stylish place to stay in Minneapolis. The city's best restaurants and bars line Washington Avenue, Target Field is on the edge of the neighbourhood, and the riverfront paths lead to the Stone Arch Bridge. Downtown and the light rail are a short walk away.
The area was the city's warehouse district, and its brick buildings now hold lofts, boutiques, breweries and restaurants. On summer evenings, the patios fill up and Twins fans stream towards Target Field, while winter weekends are busy with brunch crowds.
The downside is the price and the choice. There are only a few hotels, most of them upmarket, and rooms cost more than downtown. Families will find fewer sights nearby.
What makes the North Loop special is the food. You can walk to dinner at some of the best restaurants in the Midwest, stroll along the river and catch a ballgame, all from a characterful hotel in an old warehouse.
