Location: Mall access vs downtown walkability

Radisson Blu Mall of America – Location

Radisson Blu connects directly to Mall of America via an indoor skyway, placing shopping and family attractions steps away.

  • Indoor skyway link to Mall of America, Nickelodeon Universe, and SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium.
  • About a 5–10 minute drive to Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP); METRO Blue Line light rail links the mall area to downtown.
  • Good for car-free families and shoppers who want indoor access year-round.

If proximity to Mall of America and indoor attractions is your priority, Radisson Blu is the clear choice.

Hyatt Centric Downtown Minneapolis – Location

Hyatt Centric sits in downtown Minneapolis, a short walk from theaters, music venues, and sports arenas.

  • Within roughly a 10-minute walk of The Armory, Target Center, and about 0.9 mi (0.6 km) to U.S. Bank Stadium.
  • Close to Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis Convention Center, restaurants and nightlife.
  • Easier base for exploring downtown on foot or using local transit connections.

Choose Hyatt Centric if you want to be in the middle of Minneapolis’ cultural and entertainment districts.

Rooms: capacity and room types

Radisson Blu Mall of America – Rooms

Radisson Blu has many room choices across 500 rooms and suites, including Business Class options and family suites.

  • 500 guestrooms total; 181 single, 290 double, and 29 suites across 13 floors.
  • Room types include Executive Room (High Floor), Studio Suite, Suite, 1 Bedroom Suite and more.
  • Business Class rooms include access to a 13th-floor Business Class Lounge with complimentary breakfast and evening snacks.

More room inventory and family-sized suites at Radisson Blu, useful for larger groups and families.

Hyatt Centric Downtown Minneapolis – Rooms

Hyatt Centric is a smaller, lifestyle-focused property with a variety of king, queen and suite configurations.

  • 154 guestrooms with options like Double Two Queen Beds, One King Bed Corner View, and several suite types.
  • Rooms feature pillowtop beds, down comforters, and Egyptian cotton sheets per supplier listing.
  • Accessible room options are listed in the supplier facts (multiple ADA room types available).

Hyatt Centric offers a compact roster of room types with accessible options and a downtown hotel feel.

Dining & drinks: FireLake vs SIX15

Radisson Blu Mall of America – Dining & drinks

Radisson Blu’s main outlet is FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar with additional lounges and room service.

  • FireLake serves American farm-to-table cuisine with wood-fired steaks and seafood; open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • Two bars/lounges on property and 24-hour room service.
  • Private dining and validated parking available for restaurant guests.

If you’d like an onsite full-service restaurant with a farm-to-table focus and lounge options, Radisson Blu covers that need.

Hyatt Centric Downtown Minneapolis – Dining & drinks

Hyatt Centric’s on-site restaurant is SIX15 Bar and Restaurant, plus a bar/lounge for evening drinks.

  • SIX15 serves guests and offers breakfast (fee applies); a bar/lounge provides after-hours drinks.
  • Complimentary coffee/tea in common areas per supplier listing.
  • Fewer on-site outlets than Radisson Blu, but many downtown dining options are within walking distance.

Hyatt Centric is fine for a hotel restaurant and quick meals, but downtown dining variety is the bigger draw.

Pools & family amenities

Radisson Blu Mall of America – Pools & family amenities

Radisson Blu is oriented to families with an indoor saline pool and programming for kids.

  • Indoor saline pool (47 ft x 19 ft) open daily with adults-only morning hours.
  • Blu Kids Club, scavenger-hunt passport program, and family-friendly pool rules.
  • On-site kids-friendly attractions via the connected Mall of America.

Radisson Blu clearly targets families with a functional indoor pool and kid-oriented programs.

Hyatt Centric Downtown Minneapolis – Pools & family amenities

Hyatt Centric’s supplier listing does not publish a pool; downtown guests rely on city recreation and nearby facilities.

  • Supplier listing highlights complimentary use of a nearby fitness center rather than an on-site pool.
  • Family policies allow children (up to 4 children 17 and younger stay free in some cases per Hyatt listing).
  • Downtown attractions provide entertainment options for families within walking distance.

If a hotel pool is essential for your stay, confirm current on-site pool availability at Hyatt Centric before booking.

Wellness & nightlife

Radisson Blu Mall of America – Wellness & nightlife

Radisson Blu has a full spa and 24-hour fitness center for wellness needs, plus family-focused evening options at the mall.

  • Laughing Waters Spa offers massages, facials, sauna and steam room; reservations required.
  • 24-hour fitness center with Life Fitness equipment and free fitness classes.
  • Mall of America and nearby attractions provide evening entertainment suitable for families.

Radisson Blu supports both wellness and family evening activities without leaving the property complex.

Hyatt Centric Downtown Minneapolis – Wellness & nightlife

Hyatt Centric places you near Minneapolis’ nightlife, theaters and music venues rather than large on-site spa facilities in the supplier listing.

  • Supplier listing mentions a fireplace in the lobby and complimentary use of a nearby fitness center.
  • Short walks to First Avenue, Orpheum, State Theatre and downtown bars/restaurants.
  • Hotel’s location is the primary nightlife asset rather than on-site spa infrastructure (not published).

Pick Hyatt Centric for easy access to downtown nightlife and venues; verify spa services if that’s important.
