Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts in partnership with United Properties, a commercial property development and investment company in Minnesota and Colorado, has announced plans for Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Minneapolis, expected to open in early 2022 at RBC Gateway.
The new 34-storey building will be located at the top of Nicollet Mall, the city?s pedestrian thoroughfare. A few short blocks from the Mississippi River, the mixed use complex will also serve as RBC Wealth Management?s U.S. headquarters.
Guests looking for more leisure activities can enjoy the vicinity to Minneapolis? North Loop neighbourhood, filled with history, arts, culture, dining, entertainment and more. Formerly an industrial warehouse area, and located within the Minneapolis Historic District and National Register of Historic Places, the North Loop now boasts a local farmers market; Target Field, the home of the Minnesota Twins Major League Baseball Team; art galleries, music and entertainment venues; and more.
Bart Carnahan, executive vice president, global business development and portfolio management, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, said: ?Minneapolis is a booming corporate hub in the Midwest, and has a vibrant leisure, cultural, and arts scene, and we look forward to creating a place for locals and visitors alike to come together while raising the standard of luxury and service in the city.
?Our partners at United Properties have envisioned a new luxury focal point in Minneapolis, and we look forward to helping them bring that vision to life.?
The 222 room hotel will also feature a restaurant and bar, and a large pool deck overlooking the city?s downtown. A spa complex, open to both Hotel guests and day visitors, is also planned, along with extensive event spaces. On the uppermost floors of the building, 31 fully serviced Private Residences will enjoy great city and Mississippi River views.
