Everything a business traveler needs for a trip to 3M’s Minneapolis headquarters — the hotel, the airport, and the ground game — in one place, drawn from our verified where-to-stay and getting-there work.

Where to stay near 3M

The go-to pick is The Saint Paul Hotel — A historic downtown landmark — the room for hosting a client or an executive visit near Ecolab and the capital-city core.. The office sits in Maplewood, at 3M Center, east of St. Paul, so book to that submarket rather than defaulting to “downtown.” See the full verified shortlist for 3M →
