Explore hotels in St. Paul

St. Paul, Minnesota, the state capital, is the quieter, more historic little sister of its twin city, Minneapolis. While Minneapolis has the massive Mall of America (actually in nearby Bloomington), St. Paul shoppers patronize independent and chain shops and restaurants in the Macalester-Groveland and Union Park districts. And Minneapolis may be home to football's Vikings and baseball's Twins, but St. Paul is home to Minnesota Wild hockey, earning the "Hockeytown, U.S.A." moniker by Sports Illustrated. The team plays between October and April at "The X," the highly praised—and usually sold out—Xcel Energy Center.
