Where to stay in Northeast
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Northeast is a residential and studio quarter of Minneapolis, not a hotel strip. Rooms are few across this Minneapolis studio quarter. Most visitors book a room across the river in central Minneapolis and cross over to walk its church-lined blocks, its small museums and its old workshops during the day.
Stay close for the churches. St. Mary's Cathedral anchors the walk.

About Northeast
What are the main landmarks in Northeast?
The quarter's landmarks are its churches and its small museums. St. Mary's Cathedral, an Orthodox foundation, stands among the residential blocks and gives Northeast one of its most visible profiles. Two collections tell the local story.
The Firefighters Hall and Museum keeps the engines and gear of the old brigades, while the Cycling Museum of Minnesota traces the region's long love of the bicycle from the streets around it.
What is the history of Northeast?
Northeast was settled in 1848, one of the first footholds of Minneapolis on the east bank. Milling came first. Immigrant families followed the work and raised the churches that still define the quarter, among them St. Mary's Cathedral, built for an Orthodox congregation.
Later the fire brigades and trades left their own record, kept now in the Firefighters Hall and Museum among the old streets.
Where is Northeast?
Northeast sits on the east bank of Minneapolis, a compact grid of church spires and low workshops rising above the river flats.
