Local Area

The Twin Cities is a vibrant, pulsing gathering of diverse groups of people, all living in an area known for its great quality of life. Whether it's theater, shopping, outdoor recreation, dining, or museums, the Twin Cities has the best of it.

Minneapolis is known as "The City of Lakes." Famous for its beautiful chain of lakes and annual summertime Aquatennial festival, the city also boasts a thriving downtown with a world-class theater district. Remember that scene at the beginning of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," when Mary flings her hat into the air with careless abandon? That took place on Nicollet Mall, the bustling shopping corridor that runs parallel to the Hennepin Avenue theater district. From its grubby, tough beginnings as a lumber and grain mill town, Minneapolis has changed into the Crystal City.

Sheraton Minneapolis Midtown Hotel is bordered by Interstate 35 to the west and Interstate 94 to the north. Our ideal location is at the intersection of Lake Street - a major artery spanning west to the redeveloped Uptown District, a popular entertainment district - and Chicago Avenue, which leads directly to downtown Minneapolis.
