Overview
- The DoubleTree by Hilton St. Paul Downtown and InterContinental St. Paul Riverfront suspended operations effective noon on Sunday, January 18, 2026.
- Multiple ICE agents with reservations at the two properties were notified their bookings were canceled as part of the temporary shutdown.
- Guest notices offered either a refund of the last night or payment of the first night at a new hotel at the same rate, with help securing alternative accommodations.
- A front desk manager at the InterContinental told an agent the hotel had received threats over lodging DHS personnel and said the move was to protect staff, according to reported accounts.
- The closures follow weeks of immigration-related demonstrations in the Twin Cities and DHS’s earlier claim that a Hilton-branded property refused ICE bookings, which Hilton said was an independent franchise it later severed.
