Radisson Blu Mall of America is an upscale hotel that attracts families and business travelers. The 500 rooms and suites are diverse in style with comforts like mini-fridges, though the Suites and Mansion Rooms are the most spacious with extra amenities like separate tubs and extra toiletries in the bathrooms, and separate living spaces. The four-pearl hotel has on-site amenities like a pool, fitness center, and a spa with a full-service salon, though its biggest attraction is the skyway that connects the hotel to the Mall of America. A free shuttle to the nearby airport and easy access to the light rail station that travels to Minneapolis’s most popular areas makes the location of this hotel superb, an aspect that is reflected in the high prices. For those on a budget, the Country Inn & Suites by Carlson is across the street and has similar amenities, though unlike at the Radisson Blu, they are either free (like self-parking and breakfast) or accessible 24/7 (like shuttles to airport and the fitness center).

The upper-middle-range Edgewater is an excellent place to take the kids. In addition to the huge indoor water park, the hotel offers an outdoor pool, an arcade, mini-golf, free bikes, and a free shuttle to local sights. Rooms are tired and basic, but they have family-friendly features such as mini-fridges, microwaves, free Wi-Fi, and some have bunk beds. Views of Lake Superior from upper floor rooms are spectacular. It's a noisy place, and adults may need to take a break in the Sunrise Lounge. The nearby Inn on Lake Superior is a quieter, family-friendly option with two swimming pools and nightly s'mores.
