W Minneapolis - The Foshay
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States · W Hotels · Accessible Luxury
W Minneapolis - The Foshay fills Wilbur Foshay's 1929 obelisk at 821 Marquette Avenue, Leon Eugene Arnal's monument-shaped tower for Magney & Tusler. Each floor steps in four inches, and Foshay built a duplex he never lived in. Sousa wrote a march for the opening, and the check bounced after the crash. It was the tallest building in Minneapolis until the IDS Center in 1972. The W opened on 13 August 2008 with 230 rooms, and Prohibition Bar pours in that unused duplex.
