MINNEAPOLIS , Minn.
Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, one of the largest properties in the Twin Cities, will undergo a major renovation starting this month with expected completion set for late spring 2012. A $25 million renovation of the hotel's guestrooms, suites, public areas, and restaurants is planned.
Stonehill & Taylor created the architecture and design concept for the renovation. "We designed Hyatt Regency Minneapolis as a modern homage to the local heritage, culture and economic history of Minnesota, as well as the proud history of American manufacturing," said Michael Suomi, principal at Stonehill & Taylor. "We thought the area is best represented in a contemporary aesthetic with references to local industries, materials, and crafts."
Additionally, the renovation brings brand new food and beverage concepts including an elegant 360-degree lobby bar, allowing guests to enjoy drinks by the fireplace overlooking Nicollet Mall through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The new look of the hotel’s 533 guestrooms and suites features a color scheme with soothing indigos, cool grays and warm gold tones. Located on Nicollet Mall, in the heart of the downtown area, the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis features 74,000 square feet of function space.
