W Hotel, Foshay Tower

W Minneapolis restores the Foshay Tower to its place of prominence in the Minneapolis skyline. Long the heart of the Minneapolis skyline, W Hotel brings a new beat to this elegant and historic building. This 447-foot, 32-story obelisk, built in 1929, was the tallest building West of the Mississippi for nearly three decades. Conversion into a trendy and hip W Hotel from a class B office building allows the Foshay to reclaim its prominence in the city.
