Industrial timber lodge
Rough white pine timber and rooftop saunas bring Minnesota cabin life downtown, creating an energetic neighborhood hangout.
“A former farm implement warehouse, the Hewing Hotel has a rustic yet refined sensibility.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Exposed century-old white pine timber and brickwork frame mid-century Scandinavian furnishings.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
the Hewing’s impressive timber beams and retro fixtures evince a kind of industrial chic that places one firmly in the Chicago Commercial architectural style.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Washington Avenue runs right outside the door, lined with the North Loop's converted brick warehouses and late-night cocktail bars.

The rooms
Mid-century furniture sits against rough brick and timber posts, with Faribault wool blankets keeping out the winter chill.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop spa pool is heated year-round, sending up steam against the downtown skyline through freezing winter nights.
The sauna
Tiered cedar benches seat up to twenty-four people inside the custom Finnish dry sauna right off the rooftop deck.
Restaurant
Tullibee
Wood-fired regional dishes come straight from the hearth, served beneath heavy timber columns and glowing brass lamps.
the Hewing occupies the historic Jackson Building…traces of the past can still be seen in what is otherwise a thoroughly contemporary, and endearingly Minnesotan hotel.
At the table
The sixth-floor rooftop terrace serves craft cocktails and small plates around fire pits overlooking downtown Minneapolis.
How it began
Rail tracks once ran straight into the basement of this 1897 warehouse, loading farm machinery for delivery across the Midwest.
