Base Jumpers Caught Bragging at the W Hotel Foshay Tower
Busted. That's what happened to three party-goers at the W Minneapolis on New Year's Eve who were arrested for base-jumping 32 stories off the Foshay Tower, the 80-year-old building which houses the W Hotel. Investigators said David Juntunen, 36, of Minneapolis and three other men took the elevator up...

W Minneapolis Throws Star-Studded, Morbid Grand Opening
Last week, W Minneapolis - The Foshay opened its doors, with a big party, of course. Champagne flowed, celebrities (like Molly Sims) abounded, and hot waitresses carried... a coffin?! The party featured a faux funeral procession with ladies in minis pallbearing a coffin filled with top-shelf vodka. We can't...

Partner Reviews: W Minneapolis
This last weekend :(
To many other bars in downtown that are much better! not very welcome you are a number!
come on
Give them a break. How many cool, hip hangouts does Minneapolis have. Only a stumble from Manny's, the W Bar is loud, packed and enjoyable. Reading their reviews,... the edgy hot folk they attract are also demanding.
5 star food 0 star service
My event at the W Hotel looked beautiful and the food was absolutely outstanding. Unfortunately service did not measure up. Upon arrival I was promptly introduced to my waiter. I was told to inform him of my needs. Frantically rushing around, he looked dazed, confused and completely preoccupied. It made me feel as if something was wrong or about to go wrong. Having some questions I tried to touch base with my waiter. Throughout my event every time I needed him he was not available. (This was incredibly frustrating) Eventually someone was gracious enough to retrieve him for me. It was at that time he approached me red faced and looking furious. He then acted very short and completely disregarded my questions. This event was quite costly and I feel it should have included respectful treatment and professionalism. If I wanted to tolerate behavior like this I would have stayed home with my teenage step children.
Letch Service At Your Side
I went to a party and The W must stand for Wow! What a swanky place, trendy yet decadent. Wait staff seemed nice but too flirtatious. Service was flippant, sloppy and inept. My server reeked of smoke. Ashtray appetizers anyone?
Looking for a Fight? The W Hotel is the place!
I was there last Thursday and some drunk guys came in. They started yelling, and I thought the Security Guards were going to pepper spray the hole place! Psycho! Who would have thought that a totally pretentious atmosphere would bring out the worst in people.
The shoe doesn't fit
It was cool in some ways, but it seems to be trying to hard. It was like everything was making a point of being ultra-sophisticated and trendy. The Foshay building has a timeless elegance that suits Manny's well, but the same can not be said of the W Hotel.

The valets are total dicks only looking for cash. They treat limo drivers (orther than their own) like crap. And yes, way over priced! -
Beware of douche on weekends. -
Prohibition... Afton is the best server hands down! :) -
They are really awful! They treat people like shit! -
