Minneapolis Hotels

While Minneapolis is the most populous city in the state of Minnesota, with just under 400,000 people, Saint Paul, with some 287,000 people, is the capital. The twin towns reside on opposite shores of the Mississippi River and two other rivers, the Minnesota and St. Croix, help define and form the lifeblood of the vital urban area. Minneapolis-Saint Paul rolls out a humble, breezy kind of charm and seems to have a landmark and point of interest for every whim and fancy. Not only is this the kind of metropolis that supports four professional sports teams in basketball, football, baseball and hockey - a rarity in the United States - Minneapolis-Saint Paul is also a major destination for museum buffs and epicures alike.
