History
The Marquette Hotel occupies floors 2 through 19 of a tower within the IDS Center, the landmark mixed-use complex that is the tallest building in Minneapolis. Designed by architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee and completed in 1973, the IDS Center — famed for its seven-story, glass-roofed Crystal Court atrium — was the centerpiece of the largest urban-renewal project in the city's history and stood as the tallest building between Chicago and the West Coast for 14 years.
The hotel opened in 1973 as a Marriott, took on the Marquette Hotel name in 1985, and joined Hilton's Curio Collection in 2017 following a roughly $42 million renovation. The redesign preserved Johnson's original curtain-wall facade and the Crystal Court connection while reimagining the guest rooms with mid-century furnishings, Minnesota walnut headboards and Carrara marble baths. The AAA Four Diamond property offers 277-281 rooms and the on-site Basil's restaurant.
