Gorgeous Italian Renaissance Revival architecture distinguishes The Saint Paul Hotel, a luxury European-style hotel built in 1910. At the behest of local businessman Lucius P. Ordway, this magnificent historic destination was originally designed by Reed and Stem, the architects responsible for creating New York’s Grand Central Terminal. The Saint Paul Hotel, known for its sophistication, superlative service, and gracious accommodations, combines early 20th-century elegance with contemporary 21st-century amenities. Located in the heart of the city amid St. Paul’s business and cultural districts, the hotel overlooks historic Rice Park while offering guests respite in its tranquil English garden setting.
