HYATT REGENCY MINNEAPOLIS

Of the seven Hyatts in the area, this is the one closest to the Convention Center, slightly off-center from downtown. Completely renovated in 2012, it now has a certain cachet. Far from standardized hotels, it impresses from the moment you enter, with its decor in homage to Minnesota. Large, handsome fireplaces warm the room, and logs are placed here and there. The earthy tones continue in the beautiful, comfortable rooms. Service is friendly and efficient.
