Senses That Sustain

 

Our commitment to sustainability and locality goes beyond what is seen—we use it to source local flavors, drive our scents, support local artists, and improve wellness.

We create intentional menus using local ingredients and seasonal flavors that tell the story of Minnesota and our region. We intentionally source seasonal and fresh ingredients from our local partners, like Peterson Craftsman Meats, to support local livestock and dairy farming.

We source our seaside driftwood scent to ensure only clean, non-toxic, and safe for the environment ingredients are used.

We showcase local artists for all to experience our culture—from our curated playlist of local artists to the artwork displayed in guestrooms and public spaces.

We have filled our public areas with hundreds of living plants to provide green spaces for our guests and community throughout our urban jungle. This lush plant life naturally purifies our air, reduces energy use, decreases our carbon footprint, and increases wellness of our community.
