The Palace Theatre

What is Hipstoric, you ask? It’s a cutting edge, visual art, light show on an iconic 115-year-old architectural masterpiece in the heart of downtown. It’s a new state-of-the art hotel retro fixed into a former post office on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s the rebirth of a dormant theater into a destination concert venue with the latest in sound and light technology drawing the hottest acts in music. #Hipstoric is the synergy between hip and history and it’s what you’ll experience when you book your next meeting in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
