Canopy by Hilton Minneapolis Mill District is the most convenient base in the city for the riverfront. It sits at 708 South 3rd Street, in the Mill District, and its own information lists Mill City Museum, U.S. Bank Stadium and the Guthrie Theater all within a few steps, with the Armory close behind. The hotel is modern, relaxed and built around the idea of a neighbourhood stay, and it has a spa area called Solus Spa with a heated rooftop whirlpool, an indoor sauna and indoor and outdoor lounge areas, which is a welcome extra after a cold day on the river. There is an on-site restaurant, a fitness centre, a boutique, room service and meeting rooms, and the rooms include standard doubles and king suites with city views. The hotel suits couples, culture lovers heading to the Guthrie, sports fans going to the stadium and travellers who want to walk to the Stone Arch Bridge without planning a route. Pets are allowed with a fee and a size limit.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the Mill District, a short walk from the Stone Arch Bridge, Mill City Museum and the river. The Target Center and city centre are roughly a mile away, and the airport is about nineteen miles away with no shuttle, so allow for a taxi or light rail with a transfer. Parking is available on site for a daily fee, with covered, secured spaces and in-and-out privileges, but valet is not offered, and there is public parking across the street.
Rooms and amenities
Canopy rooms are bright, with room types ranging from two queens to king suites with a lounge area or a city-view corner studio. The spa area is the signature extra, though access arrangements and hours should be checked at booking, since the hotel’s information describes it without detail. The fitness centre and restaurant keep you comfortable on cold days, and the boutique stocks the basics. As a newer hotel, it is generally easier on the eye than older downtown stock, though the neighbourhood is a mix of stadium crowds and quiet riverfront.
Who it suits and what to know: couples and culture fans will like being a few steps from the Guthrie and the museum, and families can walk to the riverfront. Event days at U.S. Bank Stadium bring crowds and higher prices, so book early and expect noise on game days. Light sleepers should ask about quieter rooms away from the street. Winter walks along the river can be icy, so bring good shoes and enjoy the whirlpool afterwards.
