Sometimes, we need to turn the group chat into real plans — and what better way to get some face time with our friends than to plan a girls’ getaway in the Twin Cities. Think great meals, a little luxury, and an easy outlined itinerary. Staying in St. Paul for a girls’ weekend makes it simple to settle in, catch up, and enjoy a weekend with the girls that feels relaxed, restful, and refined.
Every great girls’ weekend in the Twin Cities starts with a stay at The Saint Paul Hotel. From there, the weekend almost plans itself — Afternoon Tea, some shopping and exploring, a great dinner out, and maybe a night cap or late night stop, all without leaving Downtown St. Paul.

Start Your St. Paul Girls’ Weekend with Afternoon Tea
Ease into your girls’ getaway in St. Paul with a traditional Afternoon Tea at The Saint Paul Hotel. After checking in, head to the lobby to find the perfect balance of traditions and treats — beautiful tiers of gourmet snacks, a variety of teas, great conversation, and just enough structure to slow everyone down. From there, keep the easy pace going with spa time at The Darling Den, where a facial or a massage can settle you in for an easeful girls’ weekend in St. Paul.
Strolling, Sipping, and Shopping in Downtown St. Paul
Just outside the The Saint Paul Hotel, Downtown St. Paul offers plenty of places to visit at your own pace. Spend a morning at the seasonal St. Paul Farmers’ Market, or build your own Thrift Store Shuffle with stops at Nine Lives Thrift, the Center for Lost Objects, Go Vintage, and Daily Dose Retro — the kinds of places where you’ll always find something you didn’t know you needed.
Pop into Legacy Chocolates for a midday coffee, hot chocolate, or sweet treat. Sit and sip for a little bit or stay awhile. Remember there’s no rush on your girls’ getaway in St. Paul.
If you’re a group that leans more craft beer than cappuccino, St. Paul’s brewery scene will hit the spot. Grab a table at Waldmann Brewery, Bad Weather Brewing Company, Wabasha Brewing, or Saint Paul Brewing and settle in for a few.
Girl Dinner or Gourmet, Grab Dinner in Downtown St. Paul
When it’s time for the evening regroup, you’ve got plenty of options for dinner in Downtown St. Paul. Go big and bold at Moscow on the Hill or tried-and-true (with tequila!) at Boca Chica. Enjoy Japanese at Yumi Sushi or traditional Thai at Raum Mit, or opt for lively and laid-back at Darkhorse or Brasa.
Rather relax? Enjoy dinner and drinks downstairs at The St. Paul Grill or order from our extensive in-room menu. The only requirement is ordering enough to share — and another round of drinks.
Keep the Girls’ Night Going
Need a nightcap, or just not ready to call it? Lean into fun on your girls’ weekend in the Twin Cities. Head to Burger Dive for cocktails and karaoke or swing by Camp Bar & Cabaret for live entertainment and comedy. Keep it loose and let the night flow to find the perfect rhythm for your staycation in St. Paul.
Enjoy a Slow Sunday Morning Together
Before everyone heads back home, gather the girls for Sunday brunch in St. Paul. Grab breakfast nearby at Amore or Hope Breakfast Bar, or head downstairs to The Drake to recap the weekend, relive the highlights, and start planning the next girls’ getaway in the Twin Cities.
Girls’ weekends in the Twin Cities don’t need to be complicated to be meaningful. With a stay at The Saint Paul Hotel as your home base, the weekend will fall into place — a little luxury, a lot of laughter, and a weekend to remember.
