Accepting Reservations beyond July 8th, 2023.

There is no official press release from Hyatt so possibly trying to keep this property quiet. It’s a Category 2 which is great, it’s located directly across from the Mall of America which is great for families. It’s the only Hyatt House property within 50 miles of Minneapolis.

I feel like this will be a very popular property due to its location, brand (HH) and Category placement.

Those cash rates are asinine - I get that they're placeholders since the property isn't opening until next year (if it isn't delayed), but seriously, hopefully no one books at those rates.

I don’t believe it’s just due to it being not opened yet. I believe it’s just due to them honestly not knowing what the rates should be. I checked and the Hyatt Centric Minneapolis whose rates are generally $100-$180 had rates listed for $380 for those dates for a base room. So maybe the same property owner?

Either way great option for families and great points redemption for the location. I found several dates after they’re supposed opening with 6,500 points per night.

As of late summer, they were supposed to open at the end of 2022, so this seems like a substantial construction delay. My guess is that there's some outdoor work they're unable to finish before winter arrives.

For a better rate comparison, look at the quite nice HR MSP airport that's less than two miles away, or the older HP MSP airport that's about three miles closer to the airport (and farther from MOA). You can usually get a corner Executive Suite at the HR for about this price, although the prices shown don't indicate room category for the HH, so they might be one bedroom suites with full kitchens rather than studio rooms or studios with kitchens.

BTW, there's a new HH in Rochester MN (about 50 miles) and an older conversion HH in Evanston IL (about 400 miles), but no HHs at all in ND, SD, Iowa, and Wisconsin. So it sounds a bit misleading--even if true--to claim that there's no other HH within 50 miles.

As someone who lives in the Metro I don’t find it misleading in the least to state that there is no other HH in Minneapolis. If you go to Hyatt.com and search for hotels in Minneapolis, MN the HH Rochester will not pop up, because its nowhere near Minneapolis. If someone were planning a trip to Minneapolis and activities therein, Rochester would be nowhere on their radar.

For Comparison that’s like discussing hotels in Los Angeles vs. San Diego. It’d be like saying well there’s no Grand Hyatt in Los Angeles which is true. Within the “Greater Los Angeles” area which spans I believe 100-150 miles there’s no Grand Hyatt. However, just about an hour south there’s one in San Diego. When searching Hyatt.com for Los Angeles no San Diego properties will show up, because they’re two distinct markets.
