Train

Getting from MSP Airport to downtown Minneapolis

For those arriving in the Twin Cities via air, there are many options for getting to downtown Minneapolis from the airport (rental car, Lyft/Uber, taxi, etc.). One option is to take the light rail. The Blue Line runs from Mall of America, through MSP airport, to Target Field which is the closest stop to the hotel. From the light rail stop, it is approximately a 0.5 mile walk to the hotel. Tickets for the light rail can be purchased at the airport, or any light rail station. If taking the light rail from downtown to the airport or Mall of America, be sure to get on the Blue Line (the Green Line takes you to downtown St. Paul).
