The Intercontinental St. Paul Riverfront Hotel originally opened in 1966 as the 24-story Crowne Plaza Hotel and has charmed guests ever since. The original Crowne Plaza had a tired, outdated appearance that was updated with a new mid-century modern theme for the guest rooms, ballroom, and lobby. Levels three through 21 received new guest room finishes, new bathrooms and modernized public area finishes. Our design team provided a fresh new look for the elevator cabs, elevator lobby, and corridors
