The Sofitel Minneapolis is a very nice hotel geared towards business travelers and conferences. It is actually in Bloomington, MN, which is a near suburb of Minneapolis and I was recently there for a work conference. The thing I love the most at this Sofitel is their beds. They are soft and luxurious and you can just wrap yourself in the wonderful duvet and never want to come out again! All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room service was quick and the food hot. The conference services were also good - the food was enjoyable. The fitness room was well-equipped with free weights, weight machines and four pieces of cardio equipment. Everything about the hotel has a French/European flair to it. I believe that this Sofitel was recently renovated, the only hints of the age of the building was a very faint moldy smell in some places. It is a little pricey at almost $200/night, but if work pays for it, I'll not need too much convincing to stay there again! ;)
