The Spotlight on AC Hotel by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown

Modern Minimalism Meets Music City Convenience

AC Hotel by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown is a sleek, modern hotel set in the heart of Downtown West. With its clean European-inspired design and walking distance to top venues like Target Field and US Bank Stadium, this hotel is a favorite for travelers who want style, comfort, and location all in one.
Each room comes decked out with a smart TV featuring streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, plus air conditioning and cozy seating areas in select rooms. The on-site restaurant and bar make it easy to grab a bite or drink without straying far. And with the Light Rail just steps away, the rest of the city is on your doorstep too.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel delivers. Just a short stroll from major venues and steps from the Light Rail, it's super convenient whether you're walking or riding back after a late show. Rooms are well insulated, so you can count on a quiet night’s sleep even in the heart of downtown. Plus, with a 24-hour front desk, checking in after a late-night encore is no problem.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a concert weekend
  • Solo travelers catching a long-awaited tour stop
  • Couples looking for a stylish downtown stay
  • Fans who want a calm space to wind down post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar serves up fresh, modern fare perfect for a quick pre-show bite or post-gig snack. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the Light Rail makes it easy to reach nearby late-night eats. Breakfast is available on-site, so you won’t need to wander far after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn't host live music itself, it places you within walking distance of Minneapolis’s best nightlife — from buzzing bars to live music lounges. Prefer to stay in? The hotel bar offers a relaxed vibe and craft drinks for a low-key nightcap.

What People Say

Guests rave about the central location, modern design, and cleanliness. Travelers love the easy access to venues and public transportation. Many also highlight the friendly staff and quiet rooms, even in a busy downtown setting.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that parking can be a bit pricey or tricky. Also, while the hotel is stylish, the minimalist design might feel a little sparse for those who prefer cozier décor.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to downtown Minneapolis for a concert, AC Hotel by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown offers style, comfort, and unbeatable location — all tuned to the rhythm of your night out.

It was average.

Convenient to Downtown and University...

Liked: Room had comfortable bed and nice amount of space. Parking in attached garage for extra fee. They download a QR code code to 1 phone for in/out privileges. We did not do breakfast there, was $17 extra, did try cofeee and it was not very good. Staff was very friendly. Minneapolis visitor center was only a block away and gave us some tips on buildings to check out. If you are a Bob Dylan fan, there is a mural of him very close to hotel.
Disliked: "Free" WiFi was free only for Mariott Members, I thought that was very tacky. If you show up before 2 PM and ask for early check in, they charge $25 for early check-in.
