It's opening tomorrow, and the plan is to do a soft opening at one third capacity for the next several months at least. Management is Oxford Hotels and Resorts.

For a couple random dates, I'm seeing member flexible rates of $136, AAA at $122 and senior rates of $118. Base rooms seem to be called "studios". The GM said on TV that there are six suites, although the hotel's info online claims 33 (and 237 rooms). Searching on the Bonvoy website shows four suite types, but some of them look like just a larger room, without even a sitting area. All room should have a small refrigerator and a sofa bed. It's category 5. Valet parking is $47 per night.

There's a market/convenience store, but otherwise all F&B outlets are closed (except for takeout) per the governor's emergency order, IIRC to at least December 18th but likely to be extended through the holidays at least. There will be a lobby bar called Whiskey and Soda (named after two dogs) and a French restaurant on the fifth floor called something like the Rand Tower Club (not a private club) with an outdoor terrace with retractable roof.

Some of the information on the hotel's website seems to be wrong. In particular, one would not take a "bus" from the airport for $2. There's a light rail line with a stop about a block from the hotel. However, it's not a "subway station" either as the website claims. [Except for the underground airport T1 and T2 stops, there's no subway in the Twin Cities.]

The pictures look nice, with a blend of modern and Art Deco, although the rooms look plain and somewhat small. Rand was a WWI and WWII pilot and the building was completed in 1929.

Obvious Bonvoy competitors (also in historic buildings in downtown Minneapolis) would be the Ivy Hotel and the W at Foshay Tower, plus perhaps also Chambers Le Meridian and even the Elliott Hotel, Renaissance at the Depot, and Hotel Minneapolis. However, arguably Rand Tower (or perhaps the Westin) has the best location, assuming that its skyway connections are open.
