Via an April 9 e-announcement

First responders, healthcare workers, delivery drivers, government workers and other essential workers are eligible for significantly discounted rates. People who wish to self-isolate due to health concerns or working conditions are also eligible.

“The spread of COVID-19 has impacted all of us in many ways. I am amazed and inspired by the kindness and generosity of so many people in the Twin Cities community. We at the Lion Hotel Group want to do our small part to provide a safe, clean and comfortable place to stay for those who need it most,” said Mark Emmel, the President of Lion Hotel Group. “We are very grateful for the courageous men and women who are sacrificing and working to keep us safe and healthy during these difficult times.”

The Element Minneapolis Downtown is a 156-room property located in the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis, adjacent to the Target Field Light Rail Station. Each hotel room is equipped with kitchens, flat screen televisions and oversized closets. There are laundry facilities on site.
