GENERAL HOTEL INFO.

The Hewing Hotel is located at 300 N Washington Ave, in the North Loop neighborhood of downtown Minneapolis.

The Hewing is a smoke-free property, with no smoking allowed in the rooms or in public areas, including the Rooftop.

CHECK-IN/OUT

Guests are invited to check-in at 3 p.m. Check-out is at noon.

An early check-in may be available depending on occupancy, but we will not know until the day of arrival what may or may not be possible; feel free to call us around mid-day to see how our day is shaping up. Early check-ins are allowed on a first-come, first-served basis and are never guaranteed.

Absolutely. Bring your items to the Front Desk and we’ll store them for no charge, before check-in or after check-out.

RESERVATIONS

Usually, yes. Please contact the hotel directly to request a change. Some rates may not be able to be adjusted if changes are made inside of their availability window. We’d be happy to discuss options with you; give us a call at 651-468-0400.

For all reservations not booked under the Pay in Advance and Save rate, if you cancel by 3 p.m. local time at least 48 hours prior to arrival, you can avoid a penalty charge of the first night’s room and taxes. If booked under the Pay in Advance and Save rate, the reservation can be cancelled but the prepaid deposit will be forfeit regardless of the reason for cancellation.

GUEST SERVICES

While the hotel does not provide airport transportation services, convenient rideshare services such as Lyft and Uber, taxi services, or the Metro Transit Light Rail are all options for our guests to arrive or depart safely.

The hotel provides valet-only service to all guests. Overnight valet parking is available at a rate of $52 plus tax per night. Valet parking is currently available between the hours of 6 AM and midnight from Sundays to Thursdays, and from 6 AM to 1 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Guests requiring access to their vehicle outside of these hours should contact the valet or the Front Desk before midnight to ensure access to their vehicle.

Complimentary WiFi is available throughout the hotel.

Each guest room is provided with two Hewing robes. All guests are welcome to request additional robes by contacting the Front Desk at extension ‘0’. Removing robes from the property or choosing to purchase robe(s) will be at the expense of the guest.

Yes, all guest rooms come equipped with a hair dryer.

Most of our rooms are equipped with irons and ironing boards, but if you cannot locate the one in your room, call the Front Desk and one will be brought to you. We do have a few steamers available for guest use; please call the Front Desk to request one.

While guest rooms do not have refrigerators, per se, they do have minibar coolers that keep items on the colder side of cool. Guests are welcome to remove the pre-set contents of the coolers and use them for their own purposes; we charge minibar items by consumption, not movement.

We currently do not have a regular vendor for laundry and dry cleaning services. Please contact the Front Desk for advice and assistance with dry cleaning and laundry needs.

PETS

Yes! We love pets at the Hewing; dogs especially. Dogs are allowed in all areas of the hotel except for our restaurant, Tullibee, and the Rooftop. We do like to know if you are bringing a pet, as we do try to keep one floor pet-free for our guests with allergies. Also, we would like to know your pet’s name, so we can add it to our VIP Welcome Board (for Very Important Pets!) at the Front Desk!

Yes, the Hewing charges a $100 per stay pet cleaning fee for rooms hosting pets, regardless of the size, type or breed of the pet.

ROOFTOP

The spa pool and sauna on our Rooftop are open to registered guests of the hotel who are 21 or older from 7 AM until midnight, daily (except for Tuesday mornings when the spa pool undergoes routine maintenance). The Rooftop Lounge is open to both hotel guests and the public on a first come first serve basis. Please join us Monday – Wednesday, 5pm – 12am, Thursday – Friday 3pm – 12am and Saturday – Sunday, 11am -12am.

The temperature at our spa pool fluctuates with the seasons but generally we keep it between 100 and 102 degrees, so that our guests who are expecting can also enjoy the pool!

Yes, we keep it open 365 days a year!

The spa pool is strictly an amenity for our registered guests, so no outside guests are allowed.

No, the entire Rooftop area is licensed for adults 21+.

There are limited day passes available for public access to the Rooftop spa pool and sauna, Thursdays – Sundays from 11 AM until 5 PM. There are 6 passes available per day (Thursdays – Sundays) on a first come first serve basis; you must be on property to purchase a pass – they cannot be reserved in advance or over the phone. The cost of a day pass is $65 + tax, per person and are available at the Front Desk. You must be 21+ to purchase a day pass.

*During our 2024 Rooftop Summer Concert Series, day passes are not available on Sundays.

Only if you are a registered guest of the hotel who is 21+.

While our Rooftop Lounge can be contracted for parties and/or special events, the spa pool and sauna are amenities important to our guests, and therefore are not able to be rented out. We do occasionally host our own events on the Rooftop, but even then, guests are allowed Rooftop access during the events. If you are interested in renting out our Rooftop Lounge, please contact our Sales department.

All photography requests must go through an approval/permission process, and there may be a fee involved. To learn more, contact our Director of Lifestyle.
