InterContinental Minneapolis - St. Paul Airport

InterContinental Minneapolis - St. Paul Airport anchors Terminal 1 at MSP with direct skybridge access from Gate C25, positioning itself as the most connected hotel option for air travelers. The property holds a 4.3-star rating across 1,432 reviews, making it one of the most reviewed airport hotels in the Twin Cities area. Guests flying out of Terminal 1 benefit from an exclusive on-site TSA security checkpoint operating from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m., a feature no other Minneapolis airport hotel offers. The 24-hour shuttle service connects both terminals, while the location just 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul serves as a convenient gateway for business and leisure travelers alike. The property has been named the No.1 Hotel in Minnesota for 2026 by U.S. News & World Report.

What sets this property apart from other airport accommodations is its integration with the airport itself. The on-site TSA checkpoint eliminates the need to navigate terminal security lines, saving carry-on travelers significant time during early morning departures. The skybridge access to Terminal 1 means guests can reach their gate without stepping outside, a critical advantage during Minnesota's harsh winters. With three distinct dining venues including La Voya Brasserie for French-inspired cuisine, Bradstreet Crafthouse for gastropub fare, and a coffee shop for quick bites, the hotel satisfies various palates without requiring airport terminal navigation. The 30,000 square feet of meeting and event space makes it a destination for corporate gatherings and weddings.

Reviewers consistently praise the soundproofing and room quality, with one guest noting the rooms were "surprisingly quiet" despite direct airport proximity. A frequent business traveler highlighted the comfort of the beds and the thoughtful bathroom amenities including a shaving step. Another couple emphasized the room quality as their reason for repeat visits, calling the bathroom and shower "excellent." The staff receives repeated commendations for friendliness across multiple reviews, with guests specifically mentioning the shuttle service reliability and the ease of accessing Terminal 1 for early morning flights.
