Visitors can easily stay busy with all the attractions downtown. However, if they wish to visit the famed Mall of America, they can catch an express bus for less than $5 from Nicollet Mall, only one block away. Fee subject to change without notice.

Crystal Terrace Lounge - Upholstered seating and a large-screen TV make this casual bar area a comfy gathering spot. Appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and desserts are on the menu, and the bar selection includes several single-malt scotches.

Amenity highlights: What isn't available on-site (and plenty is) is available elsewhere in downtown Minneapolis, which guests can access through the city's 60-block climate-controlled skyway system. Harmony Restaurant, the Crystal Terrace Lounge, an indoor pool and fitness center, a full-service business center, and 46,000 square feet of meeting space are on the first three floors, with guestrooms above.

Insider tip: Hilton guests are just 5 blocks from the Loring Greenway path to Loring Park, the "mini" Central Park of Minneapolis. The pond and perennial gardens are worth a tour, and a footbridge provides access to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, where visitors can see for themselves the Spoonbridge and Cherry artwork they see on all the postcards.
