Winter Wonderland Awaits at Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis: The Nordic Village Experience

If you're looking for a truly magical way to celebrate the holidays in the heart of Minneapolis, look no further than the stunning Four Seasons Hotel. This year, they’ve unveiled the highly anticipated Rooftop Nordic Village — and we couldn’t be more excited! It's an enchanting winter escape, offering a unique way to enjoy Minnesota’s winter charm without leaving the city.

Experience Minnesota Cabin Dining in the Heart of the City

For the third season, Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis has transformed its rooftop into a cozy Nordic Village, where guests can enjoy a four-course dinner in private heated cabins. This winter wonderland lets you experience the warmth and charm of a Minnesota cabin without ever leaving downtown Minneapolis.

Inside your own private cabin, you’ll be treated to an intimate, chef-curated meal prepared by Executive Chef Martín Morelli. And for an extra special touch, you can add wine pairings to enhance the experience. New this year, the addition of The Lodge — a snug cocktail lounge with seating for up to 24 — gives you a perfect spot for pre- or post-dinner drinks, or even private events and buyouts.

Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis' General Manager, Florian Riedel, says it best: "No matter what winter looks like where you live, Nordic Village is designed to make you feel right at home. From the moment of arrival, our team strives to warmly welcome every guest and create unforgettable experiences."

A Cozy Escape for Friends, Family, and Colleagues

Chef Martín Morelli explains, “Nordic Village is all about bringing people together around the table to share great food and enjoy each other’s company. It’s meant to be casual, comfortable, and familiar. So come as you are and enjoy the warmth of the experience.”

Whether you’re celebrating the season with family, hosting a work event, or simply looking for a cozy night out with friends, Nordic Village offers a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. And if you’re in the mood for a cozy gathering after dinner, head to The Lodge for a drink, or consider booking a private event to make it even more memorable.

Important Dates & Reservations

Nordic Village opens for dinner and private events from November 1, 2024, to March 30, 2025, every Wednesday through Sunday. Reservations are required, and you can even book a special hotel rate when you dine at Nordic Village.

A Taste of Nordic Winter: Menu & Experience

The evolving four-course menu at Nordic Village is full of Nordic-inspired delights. Think cheese fondue, Minnesota-shaped s’mores, and a selection of hearty, delicious dishes perfect for a winter evening. You’ll also find plenty of options for wine pairings to complement each course.

Chef Morelli is keeping the first menu a surprise, so be sure to follow Four Seasons Minneapolis on social media and subscribe to their newsletter to get the latest updates on what's to come.

The experience is priced starting at $175 per person, and valet parking is available for just $10.

A Magical Setting for Every Occasion

Nordic Village features a range of beautifully designed cabins that can seat up to 4 or 8 guests. Larger cabins and The Lodge (with seating for 24) are outfitted with TVs so you can watch a game or enjoy a movie with your meal. All cabins are heated for your comfort, no matter how cold it gets outside.

In the spirit of community and warmth, diners can also purchase exclusive Nordic Village apparel and accessories from local collaborators like Faribault Mill.
