Rooms feature luxurious locally-loomed throws from Faribault Woolen Mills, while the rooftop bar, pool, and sauna offer fun, relaxation, and a great view of downtown.

History meets hip with original brick walls, exposed-wood ceilings and local textiles throughout that reflect the city’s flour-milling heritage but with premium bedding and tech amenities.
