Where to stay near Xcel Energy
The go-to pick is The Hotel Ivy, a Luxury Collection Hotel — Luxury in the downtown core, skyway-connected — the room for hosting a client or an executive visit near the Nicollet Mall towers.. The office sits in downtown Minneapolis, on Nicollet Mall (414 Nicollet), so book to that submarket rather than defaulting to “downtown.” See the full verified shortlist for Xcel Energy →
