25% off Sunday to Thursday — The Quiet Rate
Minneapolis, Minnesota
A hundred and sixty rooms in a converted flour mill. White oak, white plaster, very little else, and a gaming room that is the quietest in the state by some distance.

Where you sleep
Every category includes the resort fee benefits, free parking and a bed we spent an unreasonable amount of time choosing.

Everything here
01 / 04
Gaming
Nine thousand square feet with no music, no announcements and no carpet pattern. A hundred and forty machines, ten tables, and a rule about phones.
More about The Gaming Room02 / 04
Water
The only true waterfall on the river, directly outside. A walk across the old stone bridge and back takes twenty minutes and is worth doing at night.
More about The Falls

03 / 04
Wellness
Three saunas at different temperatures, a cold plunge fed from the river, and a rule of silence that guests enforce themselves.
More about The Sauna04 / 04
The city
The theatre district is a bridge away, the sculpture garden fifteen minutes by bicycle, and there are bicycles at the door from April.
