Centric Downtown Minneapolis
Historic athletic-club grandeur meets laid-back Midwest hospitality. Rich finishes, locally inspired artwork, and collegiate touches throughout. Not stuffy — the staff are actual Minneapolitans who'll happily tell you where to eat.
Book a corner room (One King Bed Corner View at 41 sq m) for city views and a separate tub plus walk-in shower — worth the upgrade.
Why It Matters
The building itself is the story. Originally the Minneapolis Athletic Club (founded 1913, built 1915), it later became the Grand Hotel Minneapolis before Hyatt converted it in 2020. The fitness center alone — 7,000 square feet on two floors with an indoor track, squash courts, a Nordic ski station, and a dedicated yoga room — is genuinely extraordinary for a city hotel. Nightly turndown service and complimentary shoe shines are perks that most hotels abandoned decades ago.
A 14-story historic landmark in the heart of downtown Minneapolis, the Hyatt Centric occupies the 1915 Minneapolis Athletic Club building — and it still feels like it. The grand lobby, dark hardwood details, and marble bathrooms carry serious old-money weight, but the energy is genuinely modern and local. With 154 rooms, a 7,000-square-foot two-story fitness center (complete with an indoor running track and squash courts), and a direct connection to Minneapolis's climate-controlled Skyway system, this is the most well-rounded hotel in the city center.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Grand Suite
The biggest room in the house at 67 sq m. Separate bedroom with a plush king, a proper sitting area, large windows, and a modern bathroom. Big enough to double as a small meeting room or bridal suite.
King · 67 sqm
One King Bed
The entry-level room punches above its weight. A Hyatt Luxury Pillowtop mattress, modern bathroom, cozy chair, and desk — solid and comfortable after a day pounding downtown pavement.
King · 25.5 sqmOne King Bed Corner View
The room to book if you want city views. Corner positioning means windows on two sides. The expanded bathroom has both a separate soaking tub and a walk-in shower — a real step up from standard.
King · 41 sqm
One King Bed Deluxe
Same generous footprint as the corner room, with oversized bathroom featuring a separate soaking tub and walk-in shower. Large windows let in plenty of natural light. Neighborhood-facing rather than corner city view.
King · 41 sqmOne King Bed Suite
A proper suite with a separate bedroom and sitting area with a sleeper sofa — works well for families or longer stays. Spacious bathroom, big windows, and a desk.
King · 52 sqmTwo Queen Beds
Good choice for families or anyone who wants a bit more spread. Two Hyatt Luxury Pillowtop mattresses, large windows, a spacious bathroom, and the same well-stocked standard kit.

How you'll actually spend your days.
A full 360-degree virtual tour of the hotel is available online, covering rooms, suites, lobby, and meeting spaces.
Another throwback to the Athletic Club days — complimentary shoe shines available for guests.
A service that most hotels have quietly dropped. Hyatt Centric Downtown Minneapolis still does it nightly.
Ten customizable meeting and event spaces across the 5th and 6th floors, totaling nearly 6,900 sq ft. The MAC Ballroom seats up to 250 and has natural light and city views. Ideal for corporate meetings, conferences, and social events.
The hotel connects directly to Minneapolis's 11-mile temperature-controlled indoor pedestrian Skyway system. You can explore a huge swath of downtown — shops, restaurants, the Convention Center — without setting foot outside. Particularly useful November through March.
