Sheraton Hotels and Resorts has announced the opening of the new Sheraton Minneapolis Downtown Convention Center. Formerly the Millennium Minneapolis, the property, which is set on the site of the city’s historic Capp Towers Motor Hotel, has resumed operations following a six-month, $40 million renovation.
Situated in the heart of downtown Minneapolis and just steps from the Minneapolis Convention Center, the 14-story hotel has been a fixture of the "Twin Cities" for over six decades. The new Sheraton Minneapolis Downtown continues this legacy with a modernized guest experience and refreshed amenities. Owned and run by the Capp family, the transformed property has unveiled a redesign of its 321 guestrooms; design and functional upgrades to all 19 event spaces; added public spaces; two new dining concepts; and an indoor pool. Each refreshed guestroom now has powered height-adjustable tables and ergonomic seating, signature platform beds, walk-in showers and offset TV walls.
Sheraton Minneapolis Downtown’s opening also marks the debut of Esther’s Table, named for Esther Capp, matriarch of the Capp family. Welcoming guests and travelers alike, the restaurant offers a menu rooted in the seasonality of the Midwest and the essence of local culture. Additionally, guests working in the lobby will enjoy &More by Sheraton, the brand’s signature F&B concept that serves as the epicenter of the hotel’s welcoming public space. With an all-day menu and assorted beverage options that range from coffee to cocktails, this take on the traditional hotel bar meets the needs of both guests on the go and those looking to relax.
Sheraton Minneapolis Downtown’s 23,500 square feet of flexible event and meeting spaces accommodate groups of all sizes, from small team trainings to large conventions. Each venue received new light fixtures, updated carpeting and fresh millwork. Less formal gatherings will find a home in the fully upgraded lobby. New amenities include The Community Table, a purpose-built workspace that allows for both creativity and productivity; The Booths, soundproofed spaces for focused thinking or calls; and The Studios, hi-tech, light-filled spaces for small group meetings.
