PB hotel design editorial

Wilbur Foshay modeled his 1929 Minneapolis tower on the Washington Monument — a 32-story obelisk in Indiana limestone that stood as the tallest building between Chicago and the Pacific Coast for nearly four decades. The ambition was operatic and the timing catastrophic: the building opened mere weeks before the stock market collapse that would bankrupt Foshay himself, leaving the tower as a monument to Gilded Age hubris. W Minneapolis — The Foshay has inhabited this Art Deco landmark since 2008, and the lobby makes the history impossible to ignore — original terrazzo floors inlaid with geometric diamond patterns, coffered ceilings finished in gold leaf, and tiered crystal chandeliers that the restoration team preserved rather than replaced, the whole corridor now washed in the brand's signature magenta wash that creates an odd and rather thrilling friction with 1920s classicism. The 229 guestrooms spread across the tower's tapering upper floors, where the interiors strike a different register from the preserved lobby grandeur. Geometric wallcoverings in amber and cobalt echo the building's Art Deco lineage in a more contemporary key, deep navy carpets printed with gold chevron and diamond motifs running underfoot, walnut-finished case goods paired with brass-toned lamps and tufted leather headboards. The W Living Room bar, by contrast, goes full atmosphere: black tufted wingbacks arranged around a linear gas fireplace, large-format red abstract canvases, and oxidized metal side tables pitched somewhere between downtown nightlife and a Prohibition-era private club.

W Minneapolis - The Foshay Reviews

"Made reservations October 2025 for my daughter's wedding at the Van Dusen August 2026. When I arrived I was told I requested a low floor. I stated I did not but was put on the 4th floor with beautiful views of brick buildings and cooling rooftop system. Tried to shower with no warm or hot water. The wall by the shower was crumbling due to water damage. The stay was to say the least depressing"

"The location is good, but that only gets you so far. The first room I was in did not have hot water and the room did not get cleaned the first day we were there. I complained and was given another room. That room was not clean when we got there, the staff then cleaned up the room and we stayed there. We discovered that the duvet on one of the beds was stained and disgusting. The next day we were out of the room all day but the room did not get cleaned while we were gone. I had to request cleaning to come in. The staff was helpful, but it was not a good experience."

"I chose to stay at the Foshay for the room view. In that regard it was everything I wanted & more. The suite was up 23 floors and there were only 4 rooms total on that whole floor. The walls seemed a little thin, but I played a loud DJ set from 10PM-2AM with no noise complaints. The art deco theme was nice. I like the art on the backwall and the marble table. The room was so spacious seriously the other downtown hotels don't even come close in size/price ( the Rand, Hilton, Mariott center, canopy). The restaurant connected to it (Manny's) had top notch food. The living room bar downstairs was upscale, and the food/drinks were looking sooooooo good. Don't do valet, it was only $20 a night to park across the street instead of the 60 per night for valet. During my 2 day stay nothing was stolen. I booked third party and the check in had some hiccups, but they were giving welcome tequila shots at the door so like that kinda balanced out. Also, free champagne sent up to the room lol not sure if that was for my bday or the check in discrepancy but either way the service was amazing. Thanks for being there Foshay"

"I had several thousand dollars worth of merchandise and prescription medication stolen from me at this location. Staff is useless about the matter which makes me believe this is some sort of scam. Plenty of classier establishments available in this city."

"If you are any of the following: a global traveler within Corporate America the last 20 plus years who has stayed in many, many hotels, volleyball mom or dad, still goes out to have a drink and listen to music, likes great food (I’m from Chicago so my palate has seen the best-LOL ), and a 4 out of 5 hotel snob, then this review is for YOU. We were there for a volleyball tournament a couple of weeks ago and everything was super - the rooms are big and modern, great downtown location, Manny’s Steakhouse in the lobby, drinks were fantastic, and Fri/Sat night a DJ in the Living Room lobby. Staff was great, check in check out smooth, and honestly one of the more pleasant weekends I’ve had traveling in a long time considering we were at the Convention Center for volleyball all weekend. If you are traveling to Minneapolis and you fit one of the above descriptions then this hotel is for you. Trust me."
