About Morrissey Hospitality Companies

Founded in 1995, Morrissey Hospitality Companies has built a well-defined vision and strong sense of purpose in its many hospitality businesses. By focusing on the upper Midwest, we are able to enhance our portfolio regionally with complementary businesses and value-added services making Morrissey Hospitality hotels, restaurants, and specialty catering operations highly profitable for our partners.

Our dynamic marketing and brand-building programs increase sales, establish customer loyalty, and improve the stability and overall financial health of each business. We create wealth for our owners and opportunities for our employees, while consistently practicing Authentic Hospitality.

Our portfolio of unique properties includes a number of the Midwest’s premiere full-service hospitality brands. These brands are more than just hospitality venues; they are fixtures of the communities they serve. Hotels like Minnesota’s Landmark, The Saint Paul Hotel, and the newly positioned Eldridge Hotel in Lawrence, Kansas, are community icons. Our market-leading restaurants like The St. Paul Grill, Pazzaluna Urban Italian Restaurant & Bar, and Tria Restaurant, Bar and Market, serve as venues where guests enjoy a brand of hospitality that is increasingly becoming all too rare.

In addition to our free-standing restaurant and hotel operations, our award-winning Wildside Caterers anchors our Sports and Entertainment division, providing destination-restaurant quality food and service to major event venues like the Xcel Energy Center Arena-home of the Minnesota Wild, Roy Wilkins Auditorium, the Saint Paul RiverCentre, and the beautiful and historic 317 on Rice Park event facility.

Morrissey Hospitality Companies has provided consulting and management services to eight different historic properties ranging from 20 – 250 rooms, in Minnesota (2), Illinois (2), Iowa (3) and Kansas.  This experience uniquely qualifies MHC as the Midwest authority on the unique nature of historic properties, whether they have been continuously operating, subject to restoration or ‘new’ hotels being put in structures of historic significance. In all cases, MHC recognizes the distinct advantage historic hotels have in the marketplace, due to their conveyance of a ‘sense of place’ and related attributes that carry through the entire guest experience.

Morrissey Hospitality Companies continues to enhance its portfolio as it is working with a group of investors and developers to create KeyLime Cove Water Resort in Gurnee, Illinois and The Hotel Minneapolis - A Doubletree Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"You know that when you go The Saint Paul Hotel or when you go to Tria Restaurant, Bar & Market that you're not going to have a normal experience. You're going to have an above average experience."
- Cyndi Lesher, President and CEO of Northern States Power Company-Minnesota
