Powered By TripAdvisorThe Saint Paul Hotel is a luxurious Minneapolis landmark with a century of stories woven into its fabric. It has played host to gangsters and presidents — JFK stayed here — to ballrooms and banquets, all while maintaining its status as the best address in the city. Today, it combines old-world European glamour with a central location, just a short walk from the picturesque Rice Park. With fine dining, ample meeting and events space, and impeccable service, The Saint Paul Hotel remains a historic heart of city life.
- Snuggle up in one of 255 elegant guestrooms overlooking the Landmark Center
- Sip traditional afternoon tea in the lobby, with English cakes, sandwiches, and scones
- Relish classic American fare cooked to perfection by award-winning chefs at the St. Paul Grill
- Plan successful events with a huge function space, accommodating up to 250 people
- Stay motivated in the rooftop gym thanks to its great panoramic views of the city
Whether you want to recharge after a busy day of shopping or simply immerse yourself in the lavish opulence of turn-of-the-century Europe — all grand marble staircases, crystal chandeliers, and the chance to have tea like the Queen of England — a stay here will have you feeling like royalty. Its design is the work of architect Allen H. Stern, who also created New York’s Grand Central Station, merging Italian architecture with classic English gardens to great effect.
Hotel Amenities
Accommodations
The 255 guestrooms each have their own individual décor. Expect dark woods, rich fabrics, and 300-thread-count sheets, some on four-poster beds, with ornate furniture completing the traditional character of these rooms.

Beautiful Hotel & Wonderful Staff

I stayed here for a conference of 75 people. The staff who ran the food, room setup, front desk, and bathroom’s attendants were all on top of everything. The gym is quite large, some new equipment and some very old but all functional. Also, the conference food was great! Not all hotels have good food ;-)
Poor service overall

Disappointing. Staff was not informed or educated in packages. Room was not up to par. Restaurant did save our reservation and we were embarrassed we we arrived for it.
Great experience again at the St Paul Hotel

Staff is the most pleasant you'll ever meet. Food is exquisite. Facilities are beautiful. Only issue is there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom so shower humidity filled the room and never left. If windows can be opened, we couldn't figure it out but didn't call management (on us).
