U.S. News & World Report recently released its annual "
Best Hotels" rankings, listed according to state.
Of the 272 hotels in Minneapolis and St. Paul, 16 received recognition on the list, with the rest coming in from elsewhere in the state. Rankings are based on an unbiased analysis of awards, expert recommendations, and user ratings.
Nabbing
first place is
Graves 601, in Minneapolis. The hotel draws a "trendy, urban crowd that aims to be at the center of the city's orbit," the news magazine notes, adding that its location across from Target Center is ideal for exploring the city, and that amenities are abundant.
Rounding out the top three are
The Saint Paul Hotel, chosen for its history and comfort, and
Hotel Ivy, singled out for spacious rooms and luxurious bedding.
None of the state's hotels made the top 100 in the US. The magazine determined that the best hotel in the country is
Amangani in Jackson, Wyoming.
