Mixing Business & Nature...

Offering the peace and quiet of the countryside combined with big-city convenience, the Sheraton Minneapolis West captures the spirit of Minnesota’s outdoor wonders. Business is more pleasurable among natural surroundings like nearby Lake Minnetonka.

Along with Twin Cities convenience, wildlife and waterfowl are never far away. Deer, ducks and geese are frequently seen about the hotel grounds and neighboring nature preserve. You’ll experience the feeling of the northwoods in the lobby with its homey leather and wool plaid furnishings. Dining means Great Lakes and Northern Plains specialties like freshwater walleye and wild rice.

What a great opportunity to mix business with the pleasures of nature in a unique atmosphere of exceptional comfort and hospitality...at the Sheraton Minneapolis West.

When the Dakota and Ojibwa Indians first settled the area, they believed they land around Lake Minnetonka (“Minne” means water; “tonka” means big) was the legendary home of an extinct race.

In 1947, the first TONKA brand toy trucks were made by the Mound Metalcraft Company, located in a schoolhouse basement near Lake Minnetonka in Mound, Minnesota. More than 250 million trucks have been sold since. Minneapolis was ranked the third best city in the nation for families by Child magazine. One reason is that the city is packed with fun things to do. With the Target Center, Metrodome and Xcel Energy Center as well as four major sports teams, Minneapolis sports fans keep the city alive all year-round.
