Salt Hotels to debut the West Hotel in Minneapolis
Boutique operator Salt Hotelswill debut its latest property, The West Hotel, in Minneapolis next year.
A first-of-its-kind development for the city, the hotel will showcase Salt Hotels’ signature hospitality in the Twin Cities.
‘The West’ is a collaboration between Minneapolis based developer Commutator, LLC, Salt Hotels; Snow Kreilich Architects; Neri&Hu and Greiner Construction.
Located steps from the Mississippi riverfront the 123-room property offers an expansive lobby housed in a former brass foundry, with communal workspaces, a fireside lounge, library and bar.
The property will also feature a stone cellar cocktail bar, a rooftop bar with an outdoor terrace and six flexible event spaces for meetings and social events.
“My partners and I are elated to bring these iconic historic buildings back to life, while setting a new standard for superb design and hospitality excellence in Minneapolis. With Salt Hotels’ gracious management style, The West will be a welcoming community gathering place for locals, and an inspiring destination for visitors from around the world.” said David Wilson, partner of Commutator, LLC.
Local James Beard Award winning chef Tim McKee spearheads culinary operations with a signature restaurant serving Basque-inspired food from northern Spain.
Opening in late 2023, The West adds to Salt Hotels strong pipeline of openings, which also includes developments in Nantucket, MA, Newport, RI, Litchfield, CT and Mexico.
