JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America in Bloomington, a leading luxury property in the Minneapolis market, unveiled a completely renovated ballroom and additional meeting space. The multimillion-dollar remodeling was inspired by Minnesota’s natural surroundings and JW Marriott’s proximity to high-end retail, and it follows additional updates in the hotel’s public spaces, including at the farm-to-table restaurant Cedar + Stone, Urban Table.
JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America’s 25,000-plus square feet of meeting and prefunction space was refreshed from top to bottom, with new carpet, wall coverings, and furnishings curated from the finest materials from all over the world. Designed by Chicago-based White Space Interiors, the hotel’s look and feel ties in with the JW Marriott brand’s connection with mindfulness and warmth, and welcomes meeting and event attendees to an inspired space designed for intentional gatherings. The property hosts hundreds of elegant events each year in its six event spaces and 12 breakout rooms, and it pairs white-glove service with an expert staff of event managers, audiovisual technicians, and culinary artisans. The signature Diamond Ballroom accommodates up to 1,000 attendees, making it one of the largest venues in the Twin Cities.
The hotel’s lobby, executive lounge, and Cedar + Stone, Urban Table, restaurant were also refreshed within the past year; additionally, the fitness center and pool underwent major enhancements, including the addition of state-of-the-art Technogym fitness equipment.
“These renovations represent both a reflection of who we are and a bold investment in what’s next,” says Lars Danneberg, general manager of JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America, in a prepared statement. “Our refreshed meeting spaces combine sophisticated design, intuitive technology, and personalized service to set a new standard for luxury events in the Minneapolis market.”
