A downtown St. Paul hotel will close temporarily citing safety concerns in St. Paul.
The DoubleTree Downtown St. Paul Hotel sent letters to its guests saying they had to find a new place to stay beginning Sunday.
“Please know that your safety and well being will always be our top priority. Due to heightened public safety concerns in St. Paul, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our hotel, and your reservation will be canceled (effective Sunday, Jan. 18).”
The letter went on to say, “We are taking this step out of care for you, our team members, and the surrounding community.”
An employee who answered the phone at the hotel confirmed the hotel was closing Sunday and said it was undetermined when it would reopen.
The hotel is owned by the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.
Media reports, including a post on X from a Fox News correspondent, stated that another downtown St. Paul hotel owned by the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, the Intercontinental Hotel, was also temporarily closing, although a person who answered the phone at the Intercontinental Hotel on Sunday said they were not closing but were fully booked for the week.
