MINNESTAY * The Fitzgerald * Cathedral Hill | Historic Home | Themed Rooms

Welcome to The Fitzgerald!


When a young F. Scott Fitzgerald moved into this house in 1909, St. Paul was a very different place. Horses and streetcars outnumbered automobiles, the city was booming from trade, and residents were just starting to get electricity.

Now more than 100 years later, this house still stands as a living representation of history. Your vacation home includes the second and third floor of this lovely home. Comfortably sleeping 10 guests, each room has been thoughtfully designed by an interior designer to balance its history with many modern refinements.

In addition to its famous resident, each bedroom is dedicated to commemorating local legends: Prince, Bob Dylan, Charles Schultz and the Coen Brothers. Each bedroom is tastefully decorated to reflect their own particular style with brand new furnishings and luxury mattresses. All of the bedrooms have full closets and plenty of space to get ready. The master bedroom has a large walk-in closet and private alcove with a desk to do some work or write the next great American novel.

The kitchen is fully equipped and perfect for preparing meals, while the butler’s pantry and built-in buffet offer optimal serving areas. Beautiful vintage china and glassware are available for your special occasion. The dining area offers seating for 10-12.

The main level has a beautifully appointed living room and a cozy den with a brand new 50” TV for catching the game, watching the selection of Coen Brothers’ movies on DVD, or using the accounts for Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon Prime or Xfinity. On warm days, enjoy the expansive covered porch with lovely furniture and porch swing. It’s the perfect place to relax morning, afternoon and evening!

Despite being a historic house, this home is equipped with high speed internet. Virtually every room has wall-mounted USB outlets to keep your devices charged. The living room Bluetooth speaker can be set to reflect your mood.

Located in the Cathedral Hill neighborhood, the Fitzgerald is surrounded by St. Paul’s largest and most prestigious homes. This neighborhood also boasts a number of open spaces including a large park directly across the street. This is the quintessential spot for your home away from home.

The Fitzgerald is just 20 minutes from the MSP airport, 20 minutes from Minneapolis, and 3 minutes from downtown St. Paul. If you’d prefer to stay in the neighborhood you’re just a few blocks from some of the area's best known hot spots including: Nina’s Café, Café Latte, W.A. Frost, Red Cow, the Gnome Craft Pub, Moscow on the Hill, and the Golden Thyme Café. Heading south a few more blocks and you’ll encounter Grand Avenue with dozens of restaurants including: Afghan, Chinese, French, Greek, Himalayan, Indian, Irish, Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese, and more.

With so many activities available, you will never be bored. The Fitzgerald is close to attractions such as the historic James J. Hill House, Mall of America, Minnesota State Fair, Minnesota Orchestra, Ordway, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, The Walker Art Center, Minnesota Twins baseball, St. Paul Saints baseball, Minnesota Timberwolves basketball, Minnesota Lynx basketball, Minnesota Wild hockey, and Minnesota Vikings football.

Team Bonding
We visited this property instead of a hotel for our team during the state wrestling tournament. This atmosphere is far more relaxing, and it allows us to bond more than a hotel room would. Fantastic!
