CONFERENCE HOTEL AND TRAVEL LOGISTICS INFORMATION

The Royal Sonesta is the host hotel for the CFTA 2025 Annual Conference 

Overnight accommodations are available at the Royal Sonesta Hotel at a discounted group rate of $169/night + tax for single or double occupancy. The deadline to make reservations in the group block to be guaranteed this rate is July 11, 2025 or when the block fills. You can reserve your room now using the online booking link below.

NOTE: The room block did fill up on Friday, July 11! We asked them to add rooms to the block and they did so. If you are not able to find rooms at the lowest negotiated rate for the nights of your stay, the block may have filled up again. We do not have an overflow block, so you will need to seek alternate lodging. I reccomend checking google maps for hotels near the conference venue and checking their availability.

Transportation to/in Minneapolis

  • The hotel does NOT provide an airport shuttle.
  • Light-rail transit (LRT) connects downtown Minneapolis with the airport, Mall of America, Saint Paul, and 43 other stations. Please visit the Metro website for information on hours, routes, and service. Take the Metro Blue Line from the airport to the Nicolet Mall Station (2 blocks from the hotel). 
  • Minneapolis has many Electric Scooters and Bike shares available surrounding Downtown, by Lime and Spin, for ease of transportation around Minneapolis! Use the Lime and Spin apps to find a nearby rental. Please note that these scooters and bikes are not owned by Sonesta and therefore there is no guarantee they will be available, as they operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Minneapolis is also quite walkable -- so enjoying Minneapolis on foot is always an option, too!
