Campus energy, lake house comfort

Set on the University of Minnesota’s East Bank, this is the only on-campus place to stay, with Washington Avenue’s restaurant-and-bar lineup right across the street. Inside, the look is playful “Up North,” from a schoolhouse-style lobby made for gathering to serene, Nordic-leaning rooms. Between The Beacon Public House and an on-site Topgolf Swing Suite, downtime stays easy and social.

  • Game-day walkability

    Huntington Bank Stadium and Williams Arena are both a quick five-minute walk away.

  • Gastropub dining all day

    The Beacon Public House serves American classics with local flair from breakfast through dinner.

  • Topgolf, on property

    Reserve the immersive Swing Suite for private bays, lounge seating, and virtual games.

What a great hotel located right in Stadium Village on the University of Minnesota campus! It is walking distance to the start of campus tours and the Gopher stadium. I love that U of M students can also use the space to study and relax. Starbucks and Chick-fil-A and a nice restaurant are all in the same building. Great place. Loved it! 5 stars!
