Loews Minneapolis Hotel Reviews

Reviewed On 12/26/2021 by Conor O
I run a professional music business and had one of my ensembles at Loews hotel for a wedding on December 23rd. Terrie was our contact and she was magnificent. She took time to talk me through the run of the day, both on the phone earlier in t...
he week, and in person on the day. We walked through the different spaces where we would be performing, and followed through with cuing for the ceremony and letting us know when to move from cocktail hour to dinner. As a vendor coming into a venue, you want someone like Terrie on your side. No matter how events unfold on the day, her ability to communicate promptly keeps everyone in the loop. I can only imagine that as a wedding couple, you would value these same traits highly: responsible, personable, communicative, clear, friendly, and helpful.

She was very accommodating to a few unique requests and made us feel that we were the only event she was planning.

If we had to do this all over again, there is zero doubt in our minds that it would be at Loews.

We used Loews for our welcome drinks event the night before the wedding-- we booked the Apothecary Lounge and covered drinks for our guests up to a certain amount. We put down $1000 and it lasted well into the night (from 7 PM to about 11 PM)!...
Not sure exactly how many guests were there, but it was a pretty large group! Loews was a great deal because it gave us control over how much we wanted to spend, and we had an entire section of the hotel to ourselves. Really glad we went with them for our event!

making sure we didn't feel the slightest bit of stress during the planning process. Our food tasting was amazing, as was every touch-point along the way. Terrie was exceptionally accommodating to every unique detail we wanted to add to our day. Week of the wedding, Terrie was more than happy to walk our Officiant through extra details to ensure our Rehearsal went smoothly and efficiently. She also walked us through all financials to ensure we felt confident that the money we were spending was being put toward the items that were most important to us, and that we wouldn't be surprised with any final bills. Words truly cannot express how thankful we are to have chosen Loews to host our Wedding ceremony and reception. It was the most wonderful day, and we couldn't have done it without the incredible support of Terrie and the rest of the Loews staff. We felt so special at every point in the process, and they made this once-in-a-lifetime experience beyond incredible! I highly, HIGHLY, recommend Loews!

We are so happy that we chose Loews Minneapolis for our wedding reception venue. The staff (from our event manager on down to valet) was incredibly attentive and helpful from start to finish. If you're looking for a venue in the city to show o...
ut-of-towners the best of MPLS, look no further. From the start, the room rates offered through the block were better than some of the non-luxury properties downtown (surprised the heck out of me, honestly!). Also, the location near the light rail was super helpful for our guests that wanted to avoid car rental (get to the airport and MOA!). The actual reception? Fantastic! Food was spectacular. Our guests loved it. Now, for what every bride & groom think about: price! When we received our final invoice gotta admit, pleasantly surprised. Elated, even. The other thing--the ballroom looks a bit different than the current picture. A beautifully sleek modern design has replaced the glass installation. That being said, if you're looking for a modern elegant vibe, you don't need to do much to this new space. Where that blue might have clashed with the wrong wedding colors, the new look is a lot more neutral (save on that decor budget!). One thing to consider with this hotel 1: if there's a major event the night of your wedding (as was in our case), plan ahead for guest parking and definitely use a shuttle (we shuttled our OOT guests, in hindsight I would have coordinated for our in-town guests to shuttle too). Second thing about events--on busy downtown weekends it also plays a role in photography options (an outdoor first look was pretty much a no for all the people, BUT thank you Loews for allowing us to use Chambers!) All in all, if I had to do it again I would definitely do it at Loews Minneapolis!

Terrie Bulanek and the staff at the Graves 601 Hotel are incredible. They were so helpful and thoughtful on every single detail. Although the cost of a meal at the Graves for a reception may be higher than other locations this venue is worth ev...
ery single penny. They will wait on you hand and foot and will make sure you are wowed when you enter that ballroom. On top of that the space is so beautiful you do not need to spend thousands on decorations or centerpieces. The artwort installations do all of the work for you. The food is amazing as well. Terrie and her team saw my vision and made it even better than I thought. On top of that they always made sure I had a drink in my hand (if I wanted it) and followed up a few times during the night (at appropriate times mind you) to make sure everything was as I wanted it to. I received so many compliments from family and friends about the hotel and their service. I would pick the Graves over and over again! During planning my husband did not want to go with the Graves because of cost. By the time we sat down for dinner he had thanked me several times for picking the Graves because he was so blown away by everything!!

ted they were not open to certain negotiations based on the number of guest rooms we have for 2+ nights, a wedding ceremony, reception and Sunday brunch all at their location.

However, everything went wonderfully once I asked for more involvement from a different team at the hotel, as they jumped in and took care of all of the problems we were experiencing. The hotel was beautiful and a more unique setting than most of the hotels we looked at. Truly, everyone else we encountered at the Graves was fantastic, kind, and went over and above their responsibilities to help us. I'd highly recommend them with the caveat that it's important to advocate for yourself if you're dissatisfied with the hotel contact.

Thankfully, when there were any complaints submitted, the Graves honored a free night stay for those guests to come back.. Which my cousin has already used and said he had a great time.
