If you’re looking for a quick getaway in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, you could do a lot worse than booking a weekend in a charming hotel in one of the state’s most beloved towns. Lora, a boutique property located right on historic Main Street, is one of the best hotels in Stillwater, Minnesota, and it’s the perfect spot to settle in for a weekend’s worth of ease and exploration.

Lora is built into the shell of a former 19th century brewery that was constructed against a limestone bluff above the St. Croix River.

The structure was carefully restored, and the building's former incarnation is apparent throughout the modern hotel.

Today, guests are greeted with bare limestone walls upon entering the hotel's elegant lobby.
The Long Goodbye Bar - its name a nod to Minnesotans trying to leave anywhere - is designed with an early 20th century feel.

Located on the banks of the St. Croix River, the city’s historic, walkable Main Street is a popular shopping and dining destination for folks from all across the Upper Midwest.
