Rustic, historic, picturesque. Pique Travel Design, located in historic Excelsior, pays homage to its name with thoughtfully curated aesthetics that evoke a need for exploration. Constructed in the 1940s and originally home to the Lyman Lumber Warehouse, this 3,000 square foot event space just outside Minneapolis enjoyed a complete restoration in 2014.
The stunning amenities include reclaimed materials, a built-in tiered concrete bar and full-length deck that evokes the feeling of a historic train depot. Expansive western facing windows provide a light and airy charm, while the vaulted wooden barrel ceiling and stone fireplace add the warmth and comfort of a Minnesota lodge.

Pique offers a nature warmth and is sure to impress guests!
As a planner and host, Pique’s flexibility and versatility made it easy to execute an intimate corporate event! Pique offers use of its beautiful furniture which can help you define the space and help save on cost! Pique also allows you to work with a licensed caterer and bar services - we used a preferred vendor, Coalition Catering, and were pleased!
Beyond the ambience and flexibility, Pique had exceptional service and we'll be back to host there again!

I recently co-chaired a fundraiser at Pique Travel and had a great experience. The space is stunning, with a wonderful mix of soft furniture, reclaimed wood tables, a nice bar, big windows, etc., and the fact that several large pieces of furniture are on wheels allowed for easy customization. Pique's staff did a great job helping us plan the event, including providing a list of area restaurants that offer catering. (We chose Coalition Restaurant and Olive's Pizza Bar, both of which received rave reviews from our guests). I could see the space as a great venue for a networking event, grad party

Pique Travel is a beautiful venue with numerous personal touches. The space is warm and inviting. I love all of the recycled and repurposed materials that went into the renovation from floors and tables to the office barn doors. I would definitely consider hosting an event there. D'Amico's catering was amazing and the service top-notch. Presentation was ecletic and offered a perfect variety. All in all, a top notch partnership for Excelsior!
