Organic coffee, brewed cleanOrganic ground coffee and a coffee maker chosen to keep plastic out of the brew.

The Loft

Your own place above historic downtown

Morning coffee at the kitchen island. An easy walk to shops, museums, and dinner. A quiet, dark bedroom when the day is done. This newly renovated two-bedroom loft pairs modern comfort with the character of a building that has stood downtown since 1914: exposed brick, 11-foot ceilings, and big windows full of natural light.

“Spacious, well laid out, beautifully decorated, and in great condition. We loved the location right downtown: the bookstore, the Grand Art Center, Turner Hall, and several places to eat were all easily walkable.”

A German town with a full calendar

New Ulm wears its German heritage proudly, and it celebrates all year. Visitors come from across Minnesota and beyond for Oktoberfest, Bavarian Blast, Fasching, and a steady run of festivals, with Schell’s Brewery, Martin Luther College, the Hermann Monument, and the Glockenspiel all close by. The Guten Tag Loft puts you right in the middle of it.
