The Rand Tower Hotel, a Marriott Tribute Portfolio hotel managed by hospitality leader Oxford Hotels and Resorts, has officially opened in downtown Minneapolis. The property offers modern travelers a vibrant, story-rich experience in the meticulously restored art deco Rand Tower, now enhanced with stylishly detailed guest rooms, exciting culinary offerings and elegant meeting spaces.
A contemporary embodiment of Rufus Rand Jr., the hotel captures the essence of the aviator and industrial giant’s lifelong curiosity across multiple disciplines. At the forefront of this reinvention is owner Nick Peterson, a Minnesota native who is committed to re-introducing the historic tower and who boasts more than 20 years’ experience in restoring classic buildings.
“We are excited to re-introduce the Rand Tower Hotel in the heart of downtown and share its incredible history with visitors and locals,” says Peterson. “The hotel offers a completely unique and memorable experience, with state-of-the-art technology, including a proprietary air-quality safety approach. The Rand Tower Hotel will exceed the standards of today’s modern traveler while serving as a central hub for entertainment and connection.”
Situated on the property’s fifth floor, the Rand Tower Club offers guests a highly distinctive and sophisticated rooftop bar and lounge. The upscale eatery is helmed by chef Andy Vyskocil and features a wide variety of delectable French-style cuisine incorporating global influences with a Minnesota twist. With a grand retractable rooftop, the lounge serves as the perfect spot to enjoy an evening complete with inventive cocktails, beer and wine selections.
Additionally, guests can opt to enjoy world-class benefits with Rand Tower Hotel’s industry-leading Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program. Members enjoy perks such as best guaranteed rates, free cancellation, mobile check-in and check-out, complimentary Wi-Fi, and more.
