AC Hotel by Marriott Minneapolis West End

Stylish Stays Near the Minneapolis Music Scene

Modern and polished, the AC Hotel by Marriott Minneapolis West End offers a sleek urban retreat just 4.6 miles from Target Field and under 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. With clean lines, smart design, and a European-inspired aesthetic, this West End hotel mixes comfort with convenience. Whether you're in town for a big arena show or an intimate club concert, you'll appreciate the easy access and quiet post-show vibes.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel strikes a great balance—close enough to major venues like U.S. Bank Stadium and The Armory, but just far enough to avoid the heavy late-night noise. Free private parking makes it easy to drive in and out after a show, and the 24-hour front desk means no stress if it's a late one. The shared lounge and on-site bar are great for winding down, and check-out at 12:00 pm gives you extra time to sleep in after dancing all night.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends heading to a show will love the hangout-friendly vibe and shared spaces.
Solo travelers can relax in secure, modern rooms with all the essentials.
Couples can make a weekend of it with stylish interiors and lounging areas.
Fans who need some quiet post-concert will enjoy the peaceful West End location.
And it’s a great fit for budget-conscious travelers who still want upscale touches like a fitness center and free WiFi.

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant and snack bar take care of late-night cravings, and there's a coffee machine and fridge in every room. Buffet breakfast is available, even if you're up a little later than usual. There are also plenty of walkable dining options in the West End district if you're heading out before the show.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn't feature live music, you're a quick ride away from the city’s best music venues and nightlife. After the concert, head back to the stylish on-site bar for a nightcap or explore nearby lounges and restaurants in the West End neighborhood.

What People Say

Guests love the clean and modern rooms, with standout mentions for the comfy beds and smart layout. Reviewers frequently praise the quiet atmosphere despite the hotel's urban location. The staff gets high marks for being friendly and helpful, and the free parking is a big bonus in the city.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the immediate area is more business-focused, so if you're looking for late-night action right outside your door, you may need to hop in a rideshare. Also, while the snack bar is convenient, full-service late-night dining is limited on-site.

The Bottom Line

A sleek, quiet, and convenient stay—AC Hotel by Marriott Minneapolis West End is a smart choice for concert-goers who want comfort, free parking, and a touch of style after the encore.
