Telling Minnesota's Story Through Design: Radisson Blu Mall of America Unveils Complete Renovation of All 500 Guestrooms

Radisson Blu Mall of America today announced the completion of a full renovation across all 500 guestrooms and 13 floors. The project, four years in development and designed by global firm Baskervill, is the property's most significant update since the hotel opened.

The renovation centers on three design concepts, Silver Bay, Shoreline, and The Confluence, each based on a different Minnesota waterway. Curved lines, layered textures, and natural materials run through every guestroom, reflecting the lakes and rivers that shape the state.

A Thread Through the Whole Hotel

The renovation's connection to Minnesota extends well beyond the renovated guestrooms, tying the new rooms to the spaces guests already know throughout the hotel. Meeting spaces carry the names of Minneapolis lakes, including the Minnetonka Ballroom, Nokomis Room, Cedar Room, Harriet Room, and Isles Boardroom. Reclaimed Minnesota barn wood appears in the property's on-location restaurant, FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar, and a lobby rug patterned after an aerial view of the state's lakes carries the theme from the moment guests walk in through to their room.

The same regional focus applies to the food and drink program at FireLake, which sources from local partners, including craft beer from Lift Bridge Brewing Co., meat from Red Table Meat Co. and dairy from Stickney Hill Dairy. The hotel is directly connected to the Mall of America and minutes from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, downtown Minneapolis, and the METRO Blue Line.

Growing Alongside Bloomington

The timing follows record demand for the region, with Minnesota drawing 82.5 million visitors in 20251 and Bloomington accounting for roughly 40 million of those visitors2. The renovation gives guests a reason to choose the Radisson Blu, with a stay designed specifically to reflect where they are, with local materials and local landmarks rooted in the experience.
