Nicollet Mall is a portion of Nicollet Avenue running through downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota and is only a few blocks from the doors of The Hotel Minneapolis. Working as a pedestrian and transit mall, it is also an upscale shopping and dining district. Along with Hennepin Avenue, one block to the west, Nicollet Mall forms a cultural and commercial hotbed. Many iconic Minneapolis buildings line the Mall, notably the IDS Center, Macys, Orchestra Hall and the Minneapolis Public Library. In the summer, Nicollet hosts a popular farmers' market; in the winter, the Holidazzle Parade lights up the Mall.
