    Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport (MSP): Approximate driving time is 12 minutes and distance is 10 miles.

    Driving directions from Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport: Head west on MN-5/I-494. Continue on I-494 about eight miles and exit on Bush Lake Rd. Turn right at the end of the ramp. Turn right again onto W 78th St. The hotel is three blocks ahead.

    Many guests take advantage of the hotel's complimentary airport transportation. The shuttle runs seven days per week, leaving the hotel at the top of every hour and leaving the airport at the bottom of every hour. Service begins at 9:00 a.m. from the hotel and ends at 9:30 p.m. from the airport. Availability and times subject to change. To catch the shuttle, guests go to the ground transportation area (one level below baggage claim). There they wait for the marked van in the zone for limousines and park and fly vehicles, rather than in the zone for most hotel shuttles.

    Taxis are also available to and from the airport for $5–$15. Fee subject to change without notice. Rental cars are also convenient and are available via this Web site.

    Getting around: Shoppers appreciate the hotel's complimentary shuttle service to the Mall of America. The Mall of America Transit Station, located on the lower level of the east parking ramp, serves as a hub for transportation to area attractions and provides information about navigating the city.

    Local attractions are also accessible by taxi, and taxi service is excellent in this area. However, the best bet for longer distances is a rental car; rental cars are available via this Web site.

    DINING
    La Fougasse - Named for the French Provençal flat bread that's served with every meal, this airy, upscale restaurant is bathed in red-and-gold hues. Mediterranean dishes prepared in an open kitchen draw destination diners from around the Twin Cities, especially for a bountiful Sunday brunch that's accompanied by jazz music and flamenco dancing.

    Chez Collette - Eggs Benedict is a popular choice at this bistro, which serves traditional French foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The adjacent lounge features nightly live entertainment, mostly jazz.


    AMENITIES & SERVICES
    What to expect: An unassuming exterior amid office parks and highways belies the elegance within, where rooms surround a six-story atrium with a frilly French provincial ambience. Tones and voices are subdued, and you're more likely to find a wine-tasting party than a beer bash on the atrium's garden level. Business and leisure travelers alike appreciate the hotel's amenities.

    Amenity highlights: No need of the international business traveler is overlooked: multilingual staff, currency exchange, meeting facilities, full-time concierge service, 24-hour front desk and room service, and a fitness center. Two fine restaurants and nightly lounge entertainment are available on site, and there's complimentary shuttle service to the airport and the Mall of America. The gift shop Emporium Exceptionale sells French imports.

    A wide array of business services, multilingual staff, full-time front desk and concierge, two on-site restaurants, and a gift shop that sells imported French goods serve both business and leisure travelers. Complimentary shuttle service is available to both the airport and the Mall of America.
