foshay tower

Don't miss it! The view is fantastic! Lots of nooks and cranny's to sit in. Don't forget to walk all around the entire bar. A different view with every step!

Good view of the city in a cool old building. Have some drinks in the bar, maybe dinner at Manny's. May as well make your way up if you are nearby.

If you want to have a great view of Minneapolis, visit Forshay Tower deck. There is also a bar called Prohibition that is very fancy and you can have some drinks at night.

Stayed here for a concert at First Ave. We were within walking distance to get there and to many bars and restaurants. We got a deal on the room, but this place is really nice and attached to Manny's Steakhouse - VERY nice and VERY expensive. Rooms are very modern and sleek - and their shampoo/conditioner/lotions smell amazing! Great location and amenities. Check out the workout facilities :)

Have been here time after time. 1st. The observation deck is great if you want amazing views of the city and beyond . Also the prohibition bar that's located towards the top of the tower , is a ritzy nice place to get a drink at night and view the lights of downtown, the bar stretches all four sides of the tower so you don't miss anything!

There is a little museum up at the top of this tower, with much of its history detailed there. In addition, there is an observation area outside where you can look out over much of the city and walk all around near the top of the building. Doesn't cost terribly much.

Beautiful view but a little expensive. Worth the stop. Please stop by sometime. Check out the main floor too.

I went to Foshay tower with my mom and we enjoyed our time there. This little building, that was once the highest in Minneapolis, has a little museum and a photo gallery at the top of it. There you learn a little about what was Minneapolis years ago. Then you can go outside, the view is not the best since you only see buildings, but if you are in town you should go to get to know better the history of the place. the 3499Foshay tower is also now the W hotel, which is really fancy and beautiful.

The Foshay Tower is one of my favorite buildings in MN. It is now a hotel but there is a museum up at the top, as well as an observation deck so that you can have a look at the city.

hotel lobby area is nice. observation deck is disappointing but history stuff is interesting. more info about foshay's mail fraud problem might be interesting?

The W hotel has made the downstairs interior looking like a hip club, but I prefer the top of the tower with its history and view of the city.

We trekked to The Foshay on a Sunday when there were no other visitors. Amazing story to this building. Small museum, but full of history if you take the time. Great views of the city. Well worth our time.

The museum's displays are most interesting reflecting pre and post depression America. I had never heard of John Foshay and now I want to learn more.

You feel like a VIP drinking up there. The history lesson is cool as well, but with so many people to fit up there, it's included that you feel part of something exclusive.

The Foshay Tower was and is a living legend -- the most notable Art Deco architecture in Minneapolis. Unlike many historic buildings in this city, the restoration of this historic treasure was not the typical "gut interior, preserve exterior." Between the magnificent lobby, and observation deck at the pinnacle, deco details delight the visitor. Within the floors of this pyramid, the former offices have been transformed into hotel rooms, featuring complimentary design, and fantastic views. If one visits this hotel ("W") during the holiday season, the building attracts a suave and glamor crowd -- rivaling a "Roaring Twenties." And on New Year's eve, resident ghosts might smile at the hedonistic swirl and swagger, of the guests -- for the Forshay Tower was completed at the height of the decade, just months before the Market crashed, into the Great Depression.
