HILTON GARDEN INN MINNEAPOLIS DOWNTOWN

The hotel sits directly across the street from the Minneapolis Convention Center, a 1-minute walk for attendees. U.S. Bank Stadium and the Armory are within a 10-minute walk, giving guests quick access to concerts and sporting events. The Downtown Skyway System connects to the hotel, providing indoor access to offices and dining without stepping outside.

A 24-hour business center, larger than typical for hotels this size, allows guests to print, copy, and fax at any hour. A complimentary shuttle runs to nearby offices and the convention center during business hours. The on-site Garden Grille & Bar offers American cuisine and a hot breakfast buffet ($12-$18) for quick meals between meetings.

Each of the 210 newly designed guestrooms includes a 37-inch flat-screen TV, a microwave, and a refrigerator. Pet-friendly rooms are available for travelers bringing dogs or cats. Blackout curtains and soundproofing help reduce noise from the adjacent highway.

The Garden Grille & Bar serves American classics and a children's menu for families. A 24-hour convenience store stocks snacks, drinks, and travel essentials for late-night needs. The hotel also offers a pool table in the lobby and a heated indoor pool open from early morning until midnight.

An indoor pool with extended hours (open until midnight) gives families flexibility for swimming after day trips. A state-of-the-art fitness center includes a Peloton bike and other equipment. The lobby's pool table provides free entertainment for guests of all ages.
