Accommodations for the 21st century...with the charm of a B ! Nestled between limestone bluffs on the banks of the Mississippi River, Red Wing (pop. 16,000) was the world's largest primary wheat market in the early 1870s. In 1875, local businessmen built the St. James Hotel in response to the city's prosperity. Restored to its full Victorian elegance in 1979, guests have a choice of 61 authentically appointed guest rooms, two distinguished restaurants, an English Pub with entertainment, impeccable service and special getaway packages. Guests start their day with a newspaper at their door and complimentary coffee in the Historic Lobby. Thriving, picturesque Red Wing is a leisurely hour drive from the Twin Cities and Rochester and boasts activities such as golfing, boating, hiking, shopping, antiquing, biking and skiing. The St. James Hotel is a proud member of the distinctive Historic Hotels of America.
