Luxury Travel in Minnesota 2026

Where Minnesota genuinely delivers luxury, from palace hotels to once-only experiences.

Minnesota has 3+ luxury hotels and experiences covered in this guide, led by Hotel Ivy Minneapolis, The Hewing Hotel and The Saint Paul Hotel. Each entry below includes the practical details — what it costs, when to go, and how to plan around it.

Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes, stretches from the bluffs and river valleys of the Mississippi's headwaters in the north to the rolling prairies and twin-cities metropolitan energy of the south. Minneapolis and Saint Paul together form one of the most livable metro areas in the United States — renowned for a world-class arts scene anchored by the Walker Art Center and Minnesota Orchestra, a craft beer culture rivaling any city its size, and skyway-connected neighborhoods that let residents and visitors move in comfort year-round. Beyond the cities, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness offers 1 million acres of roadless lakes and forest, the North Shore of Lake Superior delivers dramatic basalt cliffs and waterfalls, and the Iron Range preserves gritty mining heritage amid boreal pines.
