ESCAPE INTO THE STAR OF THE NORTH
This snowy season (whether the season returns to what we’re used to or not!), plan a visit to Winter*apolis, where it’s cool to stay and play. Embrace winter and ignite your sense of adventure in a place where the fun never hibernates. With
hotels at every price point and sense of style, you’ll have a home base for your time spent with family or friends that will be filled with the hottest lineup of winter events and cold-weather fun you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you want to chill out at an outdoor festival or cozy up with some friends over cocktails at the chic new spot in the North Loop, you’ll find the warmest winter vibes in Minneapolis.
We believe cold weather should never stop the fun. Weeklong winter festivals, concerts, outdoor saunas, cold plunges, sporting events, theater, the hottest food scene and the coolest year-round patios are waiting in the City by Nature.
The Great Northern joins forces with Minnesota Ice to craft a bespoke, 100-foot ice bar
inspired by Minnesota’s natural beauty and expansive community of mixologists, breweries, and distilleries. Located in downtown Minneapolis spanning an entire block, The Great Northern Ice Bar is your go-to spot this winter for gathering, mingling, and trying unique cocktails.
