Rand Tower Hotel, Minneapolis, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Staycation with my family (including baby) during home renovation. The Rand is a really beautiful new-ish Art Deco-like buildout in one of Minneapolis' few great historic towers. Comparable to the nearby W Foshay but feels like more of a hideaway and less of a nightclub. We had almost every meal in the Blondette restaurant which has a glass roof -- great for dinner, good for breakfast. Restaurant staff was kind and positive and cool with our baby. A lot of people-watching in the elevators. We nabbed a free upgrade to a corner room from Booking.com -- great, though I wish it had been on the southwest corner instead of the northeast.

The hotel is located in a wonderful Art Deco building, and the decor is modern and functional, yet respectful of the building's heritage. The location is good, and the hotel is connected to Minneapolis's Skyway and right next to a parking garage (you can get a QR pass from the concierge for $30/day, IIRC).

I absolutely loved the facilities! I loved the style of the room and the view with the tall windows! I also really enjoyed Miauo Miauo bar, the drinks were good and the bartenders were very nice and helpful. The breakfast at Blondette was very good as well, I especially liked the potato pave. I also like that they have a 12pm checkout instead of 11am.

The room and bed was very comfortable as well as the shower. The staff was very kind and polite.

Love this hotel! Designed with extreme elegance, it feels like you're entering a grand palace of sorts. The rooms are nice and spacious, and I absolutely love the smart TVs that are right infront of the bed—enjoy streaming on Netflix or other services while tucked in for the night. The front desk staff were very nice, helpful and courteous!
