Hotels You Can Walk To From Minneapolis–St. Paul Airport (MSP)
Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis–St. Paul's InterContinental connects directly to Terminal 1 via the secure C25 skyway plus its own morning TSA checkpoint. Outside those hours you can still walk the skyway for arrivals and use the 24/7 shuttle for Terminal 2, so you always know exactly how you're getting to your gate.
The skyway removes the 20–30 minutes a shuttle round trip can cost, and it stays warm and dry in a Minnesota winter. Check the checkpoint hours before you book if you are flying out early.
