MINNEAPOLIS
The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts last week announced the completion of a multimillion-dollar renovation to Hotel Ivy, a Luxury Collection Hotel, in Minneapolis.
Hotel Ivy’s transformation includes redesigned hotel guest rooms and public spaces, including a new street-level bar and lounge; Monello restaurant featuring classic coastal Italian fare; and Constantine, a subterranean bar offering a fresh twist on traditional recipes. The hotel’s new dining experiences are the latest collaboration between Minneapolis’ leading hospitality companies, Wischermann Partners and Jester Concepts.
The redesign of 136 luxuriously-appointed guest rooms reflects a modern sophistication, with rich fabrics and earth-toned textiles that create an exquisitely layered look. Led by The Gettys Group, Inc., the interior design brings deep together Mahogany wood furnishings with rich leather headboards, accented by metal hardware, bronze table lamps and midnight blue velvet armchairs. In each of the guest rooms and suites, crisp window treatments in varying hues of grey complement the bold geometric patterns of the custom-designed carpets.
“Hotel Ivy is poised to offer a new lens on luxury travel in Minneapolis,” said Paul Wischermann, President, Wischermann Partners. “We look forward to welcoming discerning travelers, loyal SPG guests and the local community in to experience the redesigned hotel."
The property offers approximately 5,600 square feet of indoor meeting space.
Part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, The Luxury Collection is investing in marquee hotel conversions and landmark renovations in diverse U.S. destinations, including Key West, Fla., Lake Tahoe, San Antonio and San Francisco, as the brand continues to grow around the world.
The Luxury Collection is on track to surpass 100 hotels in more than 30 countries by the end of 2015.
