How Hewing Hotel rooms are organized
Hewing Hotel offers six named room types: Room, Loft, Room, City View (Hewing), Junior Suite (Atrium), Suite (Hennepin), and Suite (George Henry). Most configurations center on a king bed; the basic Room also comes with the option of 2 Queen Beds.
Rooms preserve the building’s 1897 brick-and-timber character: exposed brick, wood beams or ceilings in many rooms, and Nordic-inspired finishes in bathrooms and furnishings.

- Loft — 1 King Bed
- Room, City View (Hewing) — 1 King Bed
- Junior Suite (Atrium) — 1 King Bed
- Suite (Hennepin) — 1 King Bed
- Suite (George Henry) — 1 King Bed
| Room type | Typical bed | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Room | 1 King or 2 Queen | Budget-minded travelers, families (2 Queen option) |
| Loft | 1 King | Couples seeking vaulted ceilings and historic feel |
| Room, City View (Hewing) | 1 King | Guests who want a skyline or street view |
| Junior Suite (Atrium) | 1 King | Business travelers who want extra sitting space |
| Suite (Hennepin) | 1 King | Guests wanting a larger suite footprint with lounge area |
| Suite (George Henry) | 1 King | Travelers needing full living/dining space (best overall) |
Best room for skyline and light: Room, City View (Hewing)
Choose Room, City View (Hewing) when you want natural light and a street or skyline perspective from exposed-brick guest spaces. These rooms keep the Hewing’s historic character while offering clearer views than interior-facing rooms.
If views are a priority, request a higher floor when you book; specific view quality can vary by room and floor.
- Bed: 1 King Bed
- Style: exposed brick, wood accents, city-facing windows
- Best for: travelers who value daylight and city outlooks
| Feature | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Window view | Street or skyline — varies by floor |
| Character | Exposed brick and wood ceiling elements |
| Noise | May be more street-facing; bring earplugs if sensitive |
Best for couples and atmosphere: Loft
The Loft is the hotel’s choice for couples who want a single-level, king-bed room with the building’s timber-and-brick character. Lofts typically include wood ceilings and a slightly more intimate, residential layout.
These rooms are quieter than some street-facing Rooms and emphasize architectural details over extra living space, making them a solid pick for short stays or romantic city breaks.
- Bed: 1 King Bed
- Style: vaulted wood ceiling, exposed brick, simple layout
- Best for: couples and travelers who want historic-feel rooms
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Distinctive historic character | Less separate living space than suites |
| Intimate, atmospheric layout | Fewer layout options for extra guests |
| Good balance of style and privacy | Not the best choice if you need a work desk + lounge area |
Best family or multi-sleeper option: Room (2 Queen Beds)
Select the Room with 2 Queen Beds when traveling with children or friends who need separate sleeping surfaces. The two-queen layout keeps everyone in one space while offering the same Hewing finishes as king-bed Rooms.
If you need a crib for a young child, the hotel provides cribs for ages 0–2; check availability with the front desk in advance.
- Configuration: 2 Queen Beds (option on Room)
- Good for: families, groups wanting shared space without booking a suite
- Amenities: standard Hewing room features and complimentary Wi‑Fi
| Tip | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Ask for a lower-floor room if stairs are a concern | Some rooms retain historic steps/levels near entries |
| Confirm crib availability in advance | Cribs are provided but limited in number |
| Reserve early for events or game days | Hotel is near Target Field and weekends can book fast |
Best suites for space: Suite (George Henry) and Suite (Hennepin)
Suite (George Henry) is the most spacious named suite: it includes separate living and dining areas and a kitchenette-like setup, making it the top pick for longer stays, small family groups, or travelers who want a defined lounge and work/dining space.
Suite (Hennepin) is a slightly smaller suite option that still provides a dedicated lounge area and king bed, good for guests who want more room than a standard Junior Suite but don’t need the full footprint of the George Henry layout.
- Suite (George Henry) — separate living/dining, kitchenette features, best overall for space
- Suite (Hennepin) — king bed plus lounge area, ideal when you want suite comforts without maximum square footage
- Both suites retain exposed brick and wood-beam detailing consistent with the hotel’s historic building
| Suite | Best for | Notable features |
|---|---|---|
| Suite (George Henry) | Longer stays, small groups, entertaining in-room | Living/dining area, kitchenette, arched windows (varies) |
| Suite (Hennepin) | Couples wanting extra sitting space | Lounge area adjacent to king bedroom |
| Junior Suite (Atrium) | Business travelers who want sitting space | Sits around hotel atrium with added sitting area |
Best for work or meetings: Junior Suite (Atrium)
Junior Suite (Atrium) gives a bit more space and a sitting area useful for working, small in-room meetings, or a restful place to take calls. The atrium adjacency brings more natural light in many units.
If you need dedicated meeting rooms beyond your room, Hewing has multiple event spaces including the Jackson Boardroom and Andrews Ballroom; ask the hotel about private meeting rentals.
- Bed: 1 King Bed
- Good for: business travelers who need a couch or extra seat for a visitor
- Hotel meeting rooms available for larger groups (Jackson Boardroom, Andrews Ballroom, etc.)
| Work-friendly feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Sitting area in-room | Space to take calls or host one visitor |
| Natural light from the atrium | Better lighting for video calls |
| Access to on-site meeting spaces | Upgrades to private boardrooms available through the hotel |
