Two St. Paul hotels — The DoubleTree St. Paul Downtown and the Intercontinental St. Paul Riverfront — temporarily shuttered on Sunday.
Both properties are owned by the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, a tribal nation in central Minnesota and is a part of the band’s portfolio of businesses, which includes Grand Casino Mille Lacs and Hinkley.
The Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures Board of Directors says they made the decision to “temporarily suspend” operations at the hotels “in response to elevated safety and security concerns.”
On Sunday morning, Jan. 18, guests at the downtown hotels received letters saying their reservations were cancelled.
