Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is the practical, full-service choice, with 644 contemporary rooms plus suites with separate living and dining areas, a pool, a fitness centre and an on-site restaurant. It is connected by skyway to the Minneapolis Convention Center and has 132,000 square feet of meeting space, including an exhibit hall and five ballrooms, so it is often busy with conferences. Its own information lists Nicollet Mall, Target Center and the Orpheum Theatre a short walk away, with Loring Park, Target Field and U.S. Bank Stadium close and Mia just under a mile away; St. Anthony Falls is about a mile and a half and the Chain of Lakes a little over two miles. Mall of America and Historic Fort Snelling are a short drive. It suits families who want a pool and space, business travellers and visitors who prefer a large, reliable hotel with digital check-in and a digital key. Electric vehicle charging is available, and valet parking and a nearby ramp handle cars.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at the western edge of downtown, close to Loring Park, with the skyway giving dry access to the convention centre. Light rail on Nicollet Mall is a short walk, and Mia and the Walker are a short ride away. The Chain of Lakes is about two miles, so a rideshare or bike hire gets you there easily. Parking is available at the Loring ramp or by valet, so check the daily charge before you arrive.
Rooms and amenities
The rooms are contemporary and spacious by downtown standards, and the suites with separate living areas suit families. The pool and fitness centre are the main extras, and the hotel offers concierge service, business services, laundry and free internet access. Dogs are welcome with advance notice, a fee per stay and a weight limit, and other pets are not accepted. With 644 rooms, it is large, so expect a busy lobby on conference days and queues for breakfast at peak times.
Who it suits and what to know: families, groups and business travellers will find the Hyatt Regency well suited, and the skyway connection is useful in winter. Couples seeking something characterful may prefer one of the historic hotels. Check the convention calendar when booking, because large events push up rates and fill the restaurants. Ask for a high floor for views of Loring Park and the skyline, and use digital check-in to skip the desk.
The hotel also has laundry facilities and a concierge desk, and its size means there is usually a room type to suit a family, a couple or a group travelling together. Because it sits near Loring Park, a morning walk through the park is a pleasant way to start a day before heading to Mia or the lakes.
