Nicollet Island Inn

Find your Minneapolis hideaway.

Downtown yet tucked away. Historic yet unmistakably modern. Nicollet Island Inn finds the perfect balance from its perch on Minneapolis's Nicollet Island. Originally built in the late 1800s as the Island Sash & Door Company, the building has welcomed many uses over the years before becoming one of the Twin Cities' most beloved restaurants and inns.
