An instant icon of style when built in 1929, Foshay Tower continues to define Twin City chic as the 229-room W Minneapolis–The Foshay. The art deco skyscraper marries the opulence of a bygone era with W's innovative and modern design aesthetic.
Meeting planners raise the hip-factor on corporate events with the brand's Sensory Setup, an infusion of mood music and signature scents to complement any occasion's desired theme, available throughout the 6,700 square feet of function space. While located in the city's cultural and entertainment hub, guests also enjoy the W Minneapolis's own vibrant social scene and the latest in culinary couture at the 27th-floor Prohibition sky bar and Manny's—Zagat's top American steak house—respectively.

Recommendation to Planners:
The conference center has a good space. The "living room" bar on the main floor has a good ambience though can get a bit busy and crowded at night, but also a good sign of a lively venue. The longstanding restaurant "Manny's" is a great tradition to have moved onto the premises. The rooms are a little dark, but are limited to the historic window structure of the Foshay.
