Travel + Leisure "A sexy new hotel in an arguably unsexy city, the W Minneapolis is a stunning 2008 renovation of the 1920’s Art Deco Foshay Tower." Full review
Star Service "A colorful, well-run funhouse with a credo that reads, "All work and no play make Jane and Jack dull folk, indeed."" Full review
Gayot "Blends the roaring '20s and modern day with the Foshay, located in the hip arts and music district... The Mall of America and Minnesota Zoo are just a few miles down the highway."

Gayot "Sleeping quarters feature a mix of ingeniously built-in cabinets and simple furnishings from the Covingtons mid-20th century work era."
Frommer's "There are four units in total, including the two-room Pilot House Suite on the second level of the boat. The berths are beautifully appointed." Full review
