Where to Stay When Visiting Ameriprise Financial (Minneapolis)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Ameriprise Financial's headquarters is in downtown Minneapolis. Downtown and the airport ride the METRO light rail; the suburbs need a car. Which one your campus is in decides the trip.

Direct answer: Visiting Ameriprise Financial's Minneapolis HQ (707 2nd Ave S): stay in the downtown Minneapolis area near the office. Stay in downtown Minneapolis near Nicollet Mall, close to Ameriprise Financial — the hotels here are walkable (and skyway-connected) to the office and on the light rail from MSP. This is a stay-central, skip-the-car trip. Minneapolis-St. Paul International (MSP) is the airport — about 15 minutes south of downtown, and the METRO Blue line runs straight from the terminal to downtown for a couple of dollars. There's one airport, so no choice to make; downtown is walkable, skyway-connected, and on the light rail.

Ameriprise Financial is a financial-planning and asset-management company, headquartered at 707 2nd Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55474. That's downtown Minneapolis — the Nicollet Mall corridor and the skyway-linked core where Target, U.S. Bancorp, Xcel Energy, Ameriprise, and Thrivent tower over a walkable (and, in winter, indoor) grid, on the METRO light rail.
