Overview
- DoubleTree by Hilton St. Paul Downtown and InterContinental St. Paul Riverfront suspended operations starting noon Sunday, with the owner citing elevated safety and security concerns.
- Letters delivered to guests, including ICE personnel, said reservations were canceled and offered help with alternate lodging, refunds, or payment of the first night at a new hotel at the same rate.
- Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures said the temporary suspension applied to all reservations; separate on‑scene reporting noted some non‑federal guests were allowed to finish their stays.
- A front desk manager at the InterContinental told a reporter the closure aimed to protect staff after threats linked to lodging DHS agents.
- Both properties remained closed Monday; staff at the InterContinental said they were not taking new bookings until at least Wednesday, following weeks of protests and earlier disputes over hotels declining ICE reservations.
