About JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America
- The Mall of America itself spans four stories, more than 500 stores, and three million square feet, making the JW Marriott's proximity a genuine attraction for travelers who find American retail scale fascinating in its own right.
History
The Mall of America opened in Bloomington, Minnesota, in August 1992 on the site of the former Metropolitan Stadium — where the Minnesota Twins and Vikings had played through most of their early histories before the Metrodome replaced the outdoor venues in 1982. The mall's arrival transformed a suburban site with deep roots in Minnesota sports history into the largest shopping complex in the United States, drawing tourists from across the country and the world to a structure that housed not only retail and restaurants but an indoor theme park, an aquarium, and a miniature golf course beneath a single roof.
The mall's success over the following two decades created increasing demand for high-quality hotel accommodations within walking distance — demand that the existing hotel stock in Bloomington struggled to fully satisfy at the luxury level. The JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America opened in 2015 at 2141 Lindau Lane, filling that gap with a 342-room property that combined the JW Marriott's service standards with a location that placed guests an eight-minute walk from the mall and four minutes from the MOA Transit Station, connecting the property to the Blue Line light rail and the broader Twin Cities transit network.
The hotel's contemporary design and farm-to-table restaurant were calibrated to serve a mixed clientele: leisure travelers and families who had made the Mall of America itself their destination, and business travelers who valued proximity to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport — itself accessible by the light rail that stops virtually at the hotel's door — and the corporate concentration of the Minneapolis-Bloomington corridor. The property earned AAA Four Diamond status immediately and has retained it, distinguishing itself from the more functional airport and mall-adjacent hotels that surround it.
Six miles from Centennial Lakes Park and with direct transit access to downtown Minneapolis, the hotel serves as a genuine base for exploring the entire metropolitan area while maintaining its unique positioning as the most refined address in the Mall of America's immediate orbit. For travelers who find American retail tourism fascinating in its own right, the Mall of America's scale — four stories, more than 500 stores, three million square feet — makes the proximity a feature rather than a curiosity.
