Hewing Hotel

I’ve probably stayed here 10 times and have reviewed most of my prior stays on TA. Two nights here on business. The first room I was assigned had no desk so I was graciously moved to a second floor room directly above the lobby. I was concerned about noise from street and lobby but no issues and great sleep as always here. I was glad to read in recent reviews the hotel is undertaking renovations in 2026 because the hotel is showing its age, especially the hallway carpets. Please consider moving your gym upstairs to daylight when you renovate. Staff was kind and helpful as always. But the Hewing is starting to exceed its value proposition. This is not a $450 per night per basic room kind of place. The Four Seasons can get away with that pricing in MSP but not the Hewing. Add the OUTRAGEOUS valet parking charge of $58 per day plus tax and my two night stay exceeded $1,050 for only room and parking. May take a year or two off from the Hewing and see where we are after the refresh.

We stayed here for our anniversary and it was great! Friendly and helpful service. Wonderful amenities, amazing rooftop pool and sauna, lovely bars and restaurant. The food was delicious! Definitely try the Bloody! Many fun shops to walk to nearby. Valet parking only, so budget for that, but totally worth it.

The Hewing Hotel curated an incredible experience for us! The room, the staff, the rooftop bar and restaurant were 10/10.

It's decent enough, but the Hewing is overrated in my opinion. I feel nickel and dimed there as they charge $6/bottle for waters in the room. Most luxury hotels provide water as part of the stay. I also don't love seeing a line item for "credit card fee recovery." Again, leading hotels don't do that. Just charge more and eat the cost. I don't want to see it. Drinks in the bar were very short pours at, you guessed it, premium prices.

Shower drain was backing up, leaving us to shower with our feet in dirty water. Supplied bathrobes were extremely scratchy and low-quality. Room lighting was harsh and the only bedside lamp did not work.

I recently visited Minneapolis for the first time, and stayed at the Hewing Hotel. My first impression was that it was super warm (vibes wise) and cozy. I loved the design. The staff were also very friendly and helpful throughout my stay, getting me out of a few sticky situations. A special shoutout to Trey who went out of his way with my check in. One tip I would give is to check if the room you are booking has big windows overlooking a street (rather than the back of another building)
