Minneapolis Will Get a Boost from Republicans This September

While the Democrats have designated the Hyatt Regency in Denver as their headquarters hotel for the Democratic National Convention this summer, the Republicans have picked a bunch of hotels for their convention to be held this September in Minneapolis.

Guess what? The Hyatt Regency Minneapolis gets a shout-out as the headquarters hotel. (Hmmm does Hyatt have a partnership with U.S. political parties?)

The Arizona delegation with "presumptive" presidential candidate John McCain will stay at the upscale Saint Paul Hotel but it's not confirmed that McCain will actually stay there.

A bunch of area hotels will be getting some business--all the major big box hotel brands included.

The Republican National Convention's Committee on Arrangements has booked more than 16,000 hotel rooms in 101 area hotels for use during the convention, which will take place Sept. 1-4. Thirty-five hotels will combine to host the state and territory delegations; the remaining hotels will host other visitors, including party officials and an estimated 15,000 media members.

Ka-ching for Minneapolis!
