Courtyard St. Paul Downtown

Courtyard St. Paul Downtown is one of the newest hotels in the city, built in 2023 at 150 Smith Ave N, with 120 rooms on five floors, an indoor pool and a bar-restaurant. It faces the Xcel Energy Center and RiverCentre at the west end of downtown. It's a mainstream hotel, not a gay venue. St Paul's one dedicated queer bar, the Black Hart, is on University Ave in the Midway, about 15 minutes west on the Green Line.
