Location: Mall access vs North Loop character

Radisson Blu Mall of America – Location

Radisson Blu sits at Mall of America in Bloomington with an indoor skyway into the mall complex.

  • Direct indoor connection to Mall of America, Nickelodeon Universe, SEA LIFE aquarium and 500+ shops.
  • About a 10-minute drive to Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP); METRO Blue Line connects to downtown.
  • Good base for suburban attractions, family outings, and conference attendees.

Pick Radisson Blu if you want seamless, weather-free access to Mall of America and easy airport transit.

Hewing Hotel – Location

Hewing Hotel is in Minneapolis’s North Loop, a short walk from Target Field and the Mississippi River.

  • Within about 0.5 mile of Target Field and close to downtown theaters, music venues, and riverfront trails.
  • North Loop is walkable with bars, restaurants, and local shops a short stroll away.
  • Better suited to travelers wanting a downtown base for dining and city nightlife.

Pick Hewing for a compact downtown location and easy access to Minneapolis’s sports, dining, and riverfront spots.

Rooms: 500 rooms & suites vs 124 boutique guestrooms

Radisson Blu Mall of America – Rooms

Radisson Blu offers a wide range of room types across 500 rooms and suites.

  • Room types include Room, Executive Room, Studio Suite, and multiple suite options (including Suite, 1 Bedroom).
  • Business Class rooms include access to a 13th-floor lounge with complimentary breakfast and evening offerings.
  • Rooms include free wired/wireless high-speed internet and standard in-room amenities.

Radisson Blu covers a wide range of guest needs — families, couples, and business travelers — with many room choices and club-level perks.

  • Room types listed include Room, 1 King Bed; Room, 2 Queen Beds; Junior Suite (Atrium); Suite (Hennepin), and more.
  • Rooms include minibars, flat-screen TVs, safes, and complimentary WiFi.
  • Smaller inventory means a more intimate feel and fewer identical-room blocks for big groups.

Hewing’s smaller room count supports a boutique, neighborhood-focused stay rather than a large convention feel.

Dining & drinks: scale and a signature restaurant

Radisson Blu Mall of America – Dining & drinks

Radisson Blu centers dining around FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar plus two bars and room service.

  • FireLake focuses on farm-to-table American fare and wood-fired specialties; open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and lounge hours.

Hewing Hotel – Dining & drinks

Hewing’s food program is focused and local, anchored by the hotel restaurant Tullibee and two bars.

  • Tullibee serves guests of the hotel and is a key reason many visitors choose Hewing.
  • Two bars/lounges offer options for cocktails and nightcaps without leaving the property.
  • Dining is centered on a downtown culinary experience rather than large-scale banquet dining.

Choose Hewing for a downtown dining experience and a hotel restaurant that reads local and design-forward.

Pools & signature amenity: indoor family pool vs outdoor pool

Radisson Blu Mall of America – Pools & signature amenity

  • Outdoor pool and sun-loungers are listed among property amenities.
  • Pool access times and seasonal availability may vary; check with the hotel directly.
  • Smaller property scale means fewer dedicated kid-specific programs than large family hotels.

Hewing’s outdoor pool suits adults and couples seeking a hotel-pool experience in a downtown setting.

Wellness & nightlife: spa access vs local scene

Radisson Blu Mall of America – Wellness & nightlife

Radisson Blu includes Laughing Waters Spa plus a 24-hour fitness center and sauna/steam facilities.

  • Laughing Waters Spa offers massages, facials, waxing, and more; reservations required for treatments.
  • 24-hour fitness with Life Fitness equipment, plus free fitness classes and premium fee-based classes.

  • Hewing’s North Loop location puts bars, live-music venues, and restaurants within walking distance.
  • A lobby fireplace and design-focused public spaces favor evening relaxation without large-scale resort programming.
