Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis University Area

Modern Comfort Steps from the Stage

Modern and polished, the Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis University Area blends sleek design with a relaxed vibe, just a short walk from the heart of the University District. With stylish rooms, thoughtful amenities, and a location less than a mile from TCF Bank Stadium, this 4-star hotel is a smart pick for music fans looking to stay close to the action without sacrificing comfort.
Whether you're heading to a big stadium concert or checking out a local Minneapolis venue, the hotel keeps you connected—and comfortable—before and after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is seriously close to TCF Bank Stadium and just a short ride from downtown hotspots like U.S. Bank Stadium and Target Field. That means less time commuting and more time enjoying the show. With a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, and free parking, it's easy to roll in late and still feel taken care of. The on-site bar and shared lounge offer a great space to wind down after the encore, and the quiet rooms with blackout curtains help you sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a modern base near the venue
- Solo travelers ticking a major act off their bucket list
- Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
- Fans who crave quiet after the show
- Budget-conscious guests who still want 4-star comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up hearty bites, and you can grab a buffet breakfast to refuel after a night out. With room service available, you don’t need to leave your room if you’re recovering from a high-energy show. While there isn’t 24/7 dining, there are several casual food options nearby that stay open late, and the hotel bar is perfect for a pre- or post-concert drink.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things mellow, it’s close to vibrant local nightlife in downtown Minneapolis. You’ll find everything from craft cocktail lounges to live music venues just a short Uber or Lyft away. If you're looking to chill, the hotel’s own bar has a laid-back vibe and a few local brews on tap.

What People Say

Guests often highlight the clean, spacious rooms, helpful staff, and the hotel’s walkability to stadiums. Many appreciate the free parking and indoor pool as added bonuses. Travelers also note that the location offers a nice balance between access to the city and a quieter, more relaxed setting.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer 24/7 room service, which might be a downside if you’re coming in very late and looking for a bite. Also, while it’s walkable to some venues, others like Target Field may require a short drive or ride-share.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a show in Minneapolis and want a modern hotel that’s close to the action but quiet enough to recharge, Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis University Area hits the right note.
