Located in Minneapolis, the new Westin Minneapolis is housed in the Farmers and Mechanics Bank building, built in 1941. The 214-room hotel retains some original features of the structure, including a marble staircase and a 34-foot-high vaulted ceiling in the lobby. Meeting space includes the original Bankers Boardroom--featuring floor-to-ceiling windows--on the 10th story. Another option for meetings is The Vault, a room in the original vault of the bank. Other amenities include the restaurant BANK.
