Designed in the glorious Art Deco style of its day, it embodied possibility – with interior touches and curving lines that seemed to take flight. Still today, our space within Rand Tower Hotel preserves the sophistication and inventiveness of the period, a richly layered pastiche of artwork, décor, furnishings, and polished marble that evoke a time of optimism and aviation that so impassioned the visionary after whom we are named.

The Origins of Our Art Deco Treasure
A Look Back in History
Walk through our doors, and you’ll step back in time to 1929, when one of Minnesota’s favorite sons took a chance on a dream architectural project, even as the Great Depression dawned. Rufus Rand, Jr. had returned from World War I a local hero, decorated for his skill and courage as an aviator with France’s prestigious Croix de Lafayette. With notoriety, financial backing, and vision for his home city, he erected one of Minneapolis’ earliest skyscrapers, Rand Tower – an Art Deco masterpiece that would define the skyline for decades. Since its revolutionary opening, its splendor and grandeur have been the pride of the city. It remains a beloved icon – locally and nationally – as it is now included on the prestigious National Register of Historic Places. Our meticulous multi-million-dollar renovation secures its place as a living symbol of the Roaring 20s. Today, we strive to embody the spirit of innovation that inspired the construction of the building that we so treasure.
