What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Emery Hotel’s lobby sets the stage: a novel skylighting system introduces natural sunlight into what Emery’s designers term an urban oasis.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The second floor links directly to the downtown skyway network, and Nicollet Mall is a short walk away.
The rooms
Ceilings rise up to fourteen feet, and tall windows look out across the downtown Minneapolis skyline.
The gym
Peloton bikes and free weights line the second-floor gym beneath rows of exposed green ductwork.
Restaurant
Giulia
The open kitchen turns out wood-fired pizzas and handmade pasta beside original marble columns and a curved bar.
At the table
Shelves of wine line the historic bank vault, where a long wooden table is set with glassware.
How it began
Long & Long designed the headquarters in 1906; after a century of banking, the vault now hosts private dinners.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
