Minnesota's only AA Four Diamond Aw ard–winning hotel and restaurant, Graves 601 Hotel delivers a fashionable, high-tech meeting environment renowned for exceptional service. The 21-story property occupies a highly centralized location at the very heart of downtown Minneapolis—just one block from the theater district and connected by skyway to the entire business, shopping, and entertainment districts.

Over 16,000 square feet of sleek, elegant meeting space on the fifth floor includes a spectacular ballroom with two art walls, 3,500 square feet of prefunction space, eight adjacent meeting rooms with outside views, and an executive boardroom. The hotel also has connected access to 15 auditoriums ranging from 130 to 500 seats with complete audiovisual services.

Utilizing a modern, sophisticated design aesthetic, the 255 rooms and suites present a minimalist feel accented by glass-etched, handcrafted headboards and backlit photographs of local scenes. All accommodations offer 42-inch plasma screen TVs with in-room entertainment systems and high-speed Internet access. Specially designed beds induce the ultimate sleep experience, while bathrooms feature freestanding five-head showers, etched glass washbasins, and 15-inch, LED flat-screen TVs.

Along with a health club and full-service spa, dining at Cosmos and Bradstreet Craftshouse restaurants provide two of the hotel's principal diversions. Patrons may enjoy classic mixology and a full menu of American cuisine with Asian and French flair at very agreeable rates.
