I didn't want to leave!

This may have been the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in, and my room was beautifully clean. The hotel staff was so friendly and kind, and I loved the warm cookies in the lobby in the evenings!

Our first time in Minneapolis and we landed at this gem! Girls weekend for State Fair and exploring the city- and this hotel was a wonderful home base! Walkable to Blue and Green rail lines so it made getting to airport and Mall of America so convenient! Walkable area to lots of fun bars and restaurants or easy Uber/Lyft pickup. Lovely bar/restaurant in the hotel with great service. Menu had a good variety and food was good- try the fried green tomatoes! I also recommend the “Normandy” house cocktail- quite lovely! We enjoyed the historic charm and all the amenities- soaking in the pool, spa and sauna after a full day at the fair was heaven. Top ratings to the front desk staff for their welcoming smiles and helpful advice- I highly recommend this hotel and am sure we will visit again!

My go-to Minneapolis hotel!

This is my second stay at the Normandy when visiting Minneapolis. I have lots of family in the area and my oldest goes to college nearby. The location is great. Plenty of parking. Beautiful interior. It’s updated but still feels historic. We stayed in a suite this time and it was so spacious. Front desk staff is friendly and we had a few drinks at the bar which was amazing! I highly recommend this hotel and will continue to return here.

Just What I Needed

Clean and cozy place to stay while in town for a seminar. Walkable to several downtown destinations. Not terribly fancy, well maintained. Restaurant and bar a little pricey, which is understandable given the location. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Love the Normandy

I love the Normandy. The vintage style cannot be matched. Everything is clean and works. My only complaint is that the lobby coffee urns were empty and the automatic coffee/cappuccino machine must have been out of coffee grounds too.
