Graves 601 Hotel Minneapolis


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.

The Graves is a wonderful venue in the heart of Minneapolis. Not only are the standard rooms full of comfort and amenities, the restaurants and bars are relaxed and enjoyable as well. Perfect for an intimate setting with a group of 50-100.

The beds are very comfortable. The location in downtown Minneapolis is ideal, connecting by skyway to the target center and all of the other buildings as well. It is a hotel and not resort, so the activities and ratings are good for that limitation.

An ideal meeting hotel for a small to medium-sized group.

The group that met at this hotel are already talking about going back next year.

The contracting process was simple and efficient and conference services were on top of their game.

Graves 601 has been the site for our employee recognition galas for the past two years. We were so impressed with the hotel and your exceptional staff in 2006 that it was simply not a consideration to host the event anywhere else in 2007!
