Bravo! The Chambers Hotel takes center stage in the historic theater district of Minneapolis. The property’s 60 art-infused guestrooms and suites have walk-in rain showers, deep soaking tubs and sweeping views of the vibrant downtown. The skyway just steps from the entrance leads to the Target Center, Target Field, U.S. Bank Stadium, the Mississippi River and the colorful culture of the Twin Cities.

Built in 1908, The Chambers has had a front-row seat to the legendary Orpheum Theatre’s groundbreaking performances, from the Marx Brothers’ vaudeville act to Prince’s hometown debut. Today, the eclectic guestrooms and suites — including the 1,100-square-foot penthouse with its wraparound terrace — celebrate art and culture. A show-stopping rooftop lounge and lush courtyard with a fire pit are prime spots to admire the scenery on Hennepin Avenue. And 12,500 square feet of event space — including a pristine, blank-canvas gallery — await creative touches.
What to see first? Brush up on the area’s art scene right in the hotel’s lobby, home to a colorful collection of works by local artists. Then step outside to Hennepin Avenue, once known as “Theatre Row,” where the historic State Theatre, Orpheum Theatre and Pantages Theatre still welcome audiences; all three have been beautifully restored. Take in a performance or head to Target Stadium — home to baseball’s Minnesota Twins – for a different kind of show. During football season, sports fans can also watch the Minnesota Vikings play at nearby U.S. Bank Stadium.
