 St. James Hotel
 Built in 1875 during a period of Red Wing’s growing importance as both a river town and a center of trade, the St. James Hotel is listed on the National Historic Register and is one of the Historic Hotels of America as designated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Your private room will be uniquely decorated with antique-period furnishings and offer up-to-date comfort and amenities. Wi-Fi access is free throughout the hotel.

Writing Retreat includes three nights' stay at this beautiful hotel.
  
 Red Wing, Minnesota
 Important in the development of Minnesota’s early river trade and home to both Red Wing Pottery and the Red Wing Shoe Company, Red Wing offers a variety of activities for you. During our retreat, it will host the annual Fall Festival of the Arts, a juried art show and sale that brings in artists from across the country. The Festival will be within easy walking distance of the hotel. In addition, you may enjoy antiquing, shopping, hiking, and biking.
