Local employers, including 16 Fortune 500 companies, as well as the Minneapolis Convention Center, sports venues, and the Mall of America, represent the primary sources of demand for the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul market. The most significant corporate demand generators include Target, Medtronic, US Bank, Cargill, 3M, Wells Fargo, and UnitedHealth Group. The effects of the pandemic on this market were severe, and the city's strong reliance on corporate demand slowed its recovery. Major events, including the Big Ten Basketball tournament, NCAA Frozen Four, and U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Gymnastics were held in Minneapolis in 2024; however, fewer large events were booked in 2025, which moderately affected ADR that year. The Department of Homeland Security's Operation Metro Surge in late 2025 and early 2026 caused severe economic disruption and widespread protests in the greater market. However, RevPAR increased, influenced in part by the significant government and press-related demand that was generated. Reportedly, group bookings for 2026 are strong. The diversity of demand generators, a strong convention calendar from 2026 through 2028, and the popularity of sporting and concert venues in the Twin Cities are expected to continue to support the market's occupancy recovery.
* Although the HVI cannot tell you what a particular hotel is worth, it does provide excellent “big picture” data, indicating which market areas are experiencing positive trends, and thus may present good investment opportunities. The HVI for the U.S. is a measure of the strength of the lodging industry as a whole and, specifically, the hospitality investment market. The HVI for the various identified markets can provide a basis to evaluate and compare different geographic regions. For more insight on the limitations and applicability of the HVI, please read the message on the HVI home page by clicking on the graphic at the top of this page.
The widespread impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has had an unprecedented impact on hotels and hotel values worldwide.
Consequently, the latest HVI analysis may no longer reflect the most current measure of lodging industry strength or the
hospitality investment market.
In each of our offices across the globe, we are working tirelessly to analyze the impact of recent events and provide timely
insights to help you navigate these uncharted waters. Because it is unclear how long the pandemic will last or how long related
restrictions will be in place, we are updating our analyses on a weekly basis using the most current data.
Additionally, examination of value trends in prior cycles can provide useful information. Historical patterns, together with
an understanding of the market’s current expectations for the eventual recovery of the industry and its performance, can provide
insights on the likely trajectory of decline and recovery for hotel values.
