Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis Honoured with Innovation in Tourism Award

Today, Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis received the Innovation in Tourism Award from Meet Minneapolis for advancing the hospitality community and the city’s visitor experience. Since opening on June 1, 2022, Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis has become more than a hotel; in welcoming visitors from near and far, hosting community events, collaborating with neighbours and providing service with genuine heart, it has become a place that brings people together.

“Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis ushered in a new era in Minneapolis’ growth as a global destination,” says Melvin Tennant, President & CEO of Meet Minneapolis. “It has expanded the visitor base to our city to include travellers who may not have considered us in the past. Now, they can see all that they have been missing.”

Adds General Manager Florian Riedel, “Along with Melvin and his team, Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis is committed to doing all we can to positively impact our community, uplift Minneapolis and bring new business to this destination city. When you have – as our city does – rich culture, amazing food, premier art and entertainment, a community dedicated to positive change and one of the very best Four Seasons hotels in the US, the future is incredibly bright.”
