Elegant hotel exterior at golden hour

Est. Excelsior, Minnesota

A quieter kind of luxury on the shores of Lake Excelsior

The Experience

Hospitality that feels
considered, not scripted

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all service. Every stay at Excelsior Manor is shaped around how you want to experience the lake — whether that's a slow morning with a book, a evening walk along the shore, or a day of exploration through the North Shore.

Warm hotel interior with natural wood and linen details

Artisan Breakfast

Locally sourced, made fresh each morning. Pastries from the bakery down the street, eggs from nearby farms.

Personal Concierge

Real recommendations from people who live here. Restaurant picks, trail maps, and hidden spots you won't find online.

Lake Access

Private walkway to the shore. Kayaks available in summer, ice-skating paths in winter. The lake is your backyard.

Flexible Stay

Late checkout on request, early check-in when rooms are ready. We'd rather adjust to your schedule than the other way around.

Location

Where the town
meets the water

We sit on 3rd Avenue, just steps from the lakefront and a short walk from Excelsior's main street — shops, galleries, and some of the best food in the lake country. Minneapolis is 30 minutes east; the North Shore is an hour north.
