This Charming Hotel In Minnesota Is The Perfect Place For A Relaxing Getaway

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.

The Feller Restaurant, a moniker reflecting the area's history as a logging hub, boasts a more austere aesthetic, focusing guests' attention, instead, on the eatery's New American cuisine.

The rooms are modern and comfortable, affording guests views of the river, the wooded bluff, or historic downtown Stillwater.

The rooms are well-appointed, offering all the amenities most guests will need...

Even guests of the four-legged variety, as Lora is a pet-friendly hotel.

Perhaps the best amenity is location - walking out of the hotel and right onto Stillwater's historic Main Street.

Lora offers the perfect location for an out-of-the-way base camp that's still in the center of all the action.

After a stay at Lora, you'll see why we think it's one of the best hotels in Minnesota. And you really can't beat its location - right in downtown Stillwater, one of the State's oldest cities. 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. While in town, we recommend drinks at Velveteen, a speakeasy-themed cocktail lounge whose mixologists are some of the best around.
