Historic depot · Marriott/Renaissance · Meeting-focused

Best for travelers who want a central downtown location with a historic former-railway-depot atmosphere and substantial meeting space.

Quick Verdict: Hyatt Regency Minneapolis vs Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot

When Hyatt Regency Minneapolis wins: choose Hyatt if you need the biggest meeting footprint (an exhibit hall and ~132,000 sq ft of event space), direct skyway access to the Minneapolis Convention Center, a large 24/7 fitness center, or family-friendly amenities including kids-stay-free and an indoor heated pool.

When Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot wins: pick the Renaissance for a distinctive historic setting close to the Mill Ruins, Stone Arch Bridge and Guthrie Theater, a sizable but slightly smaller meeting footprint (23 meeting rooms, 71,124 ft²), and a single on-site restaurant with full breakfast service.

Bottom line: both are full-service downtown hotels well suited to meetings and leisure stays; use Hyatt for maximum convention capacity and family-oriented amenities, and use the Renaissance for a downtown stay in a restored depot with convenient riverfront and theater access.
