In a defining moment for green hospitality in the United States, Minneapolis Marriott City Center has been named a winner, by Luxury Lifestyle Awards, of the 2025 International Sustainability Awards, a globally respected honor recognizing leadership in sustainable business practices. This flagship hotel in downtown Minneapolis stood out for its mature, methodical approach to environmental stewardship and its bold commitment to reshaping how urban hotels operate in harmony with the planet.

A hallmark of eco-conscious hospitality, the Minneapolis Marriott City Center is not only luxurious but a living model of sustainable innovation. Hosting thousands of events and conventions annually, the hotel has transformed its operations with measurable sustainability initiatives. From achieving Energy Star certification to earning 4 Green Keys for its superior environmental performance, the property has embedded responsibility into every guest experience.

Central to their efforts is Marriott’s proprietary MESH (Marriott Environmental Sustainability Hub), powered by Schneider Electric, which tracks and improves metrics like energy, water, and waste across the property. Programs such as paperless billing, recyclable box lunches, and digital event menus are more than amenities, they’re action points in a long-term mission to reduce the hotel’s environmental footprint while elevating the guest experience.

Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce and founder of the International Sustainability Awards, praised the hotel’s achievement: “Minneapolis Marriott City Center exemplifies what it means to embed sustainability at the heart of luxury. Their strategy is bold, measurable, and inspiring, setting a new gold standard for hospitality brands worldwide.”

This award is not just recognition, it’s a call to action. As the travel industry pivots toward purpose, Minneapolis Marriott City Center invites conscious travelers and responsible corporations to experience a stay where luxury and sustainability thrive in perfect balance.
