MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) announced a milestone in the construction of a new InterContinental Hotels & Resorts property at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. The project, made possible by a partnership led by Graves Hospitality and Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation, broke ground in October 2016, and the concrete foundation was recently completed in April/May 2017.
The hotel is on track to open summer of 2018.
This will be the second InterContinental Hotels & Resorts property in the Twin Cities, and joins the InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront hotel located in downtown Saint Paul.
The InterContinental Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport hotel will connect to Terminal 1-Lindbergh, the airport's largest and most recently renovated terminal, via a climate-controlled sky bridge to Concourse C—where it will intersect with the A and B Concourses. The hotel will have its own TSA security checkpoint, and the sky bridge will offer guests direct and easy access to their flights.
The 12-story building will offer 291 rooms, including nine suites, two restaurants, a penthouse-level observation bar, a signature InterContinental Club Lounge, a business center, a fitness center and a world-class spa. The InterContinental Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport hotel will offer 20,000 square feet of meeting space with a 10,800-square-foot ballroom. Located in front of the hotel will be an Art Park visible by cars as they enter the airport. The hotel will also have its own dedicated parking.
The Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport (MSP) is located 12 miles from downtown Minneapolis, eight miles from downtown St. Paul, and less than five miles from the Mall of America—the largest shopping complex in North America—with a light rail line that runs directly from the airport to the Mall.
