Where Should You Stay for Seth Meyers at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis? Jan. 15 and 17, 2027
Seth Meyers, the host of NBC’s Late Night, brings his live stand-up show to the Orpheum Theatre on Hennepin Avenue for two performances: Friday, Jan. 15, 2027, at 7 p.m., and Sunday, Jan. 17, at 7 p.m. If you are planning a mid-January weekend around it, 300 Clifton, the historic Eugene J. Carpenter Mansion in Loring Park, is a quiet, candlelit place to stay before and after the laughs.
It is still a little over ten weeks away, which is exactly the right time to book. A two-show run on a Friday and a Sunday also leaves Saturday open, so you can turn one ticket into a full downtown getaway.
When is Seth Meyers playing in Minneapolis?
According to the Hennepin Arts event page, Seth Meyers Live is a comedy engagement at the Orpheum Theatre, presented by Outback Presents, with performances on Friday, Jan. 15 and Sunday, Jan. 17, 2027, both at 7 p.m. Hennepin Arts lists an 8-ticket limit per purchase. Tickets are sold through the Hennepin Arts site and the State Theatre box office at 805 Hennepin Ave.
Meyers joined Saturday Night Live in 2001 and has hosted Late Night since 2014, according to the same listing, which also notes his two stand-up specials, Lobby Baby and Dad Man Walking.
Where is the best place to stay near the Orpheum Theatre?
The Orpheum sits in the Hennepin Theatre District in downtown Minneapolis, and 300 Clifton is across the edge of downtown in Loring Park, a short car, rideshare or transit trip away. The trade-off is the point: instead of a business-hotel lobby, you come home to a historic Georgian mansion with carved fireplaces, hand-painted murals and English gardens, and a bed that feels like a getaway rather than a stopover.
Pick a room that suits the weekend: the Crystal Mansion for a splurge, the Georgian Room for classic charm, or the Grand Edwardian for room to spread out.
What makes a January night here different?
Mid-January is peak soak season. The garden hot tub is open year-round, so a Friday-night laugh at the Orpheum can end with a steaming soak under a winter sky. If the forecast is miserable, the movie room and its heated reclining seats are the cozy backup plan.
Booking direct also includes two perks listed on the vouchers page: a $20 dining voucher per stay at the Pillsbury Club and a $20 Minneapolis Trolley voucher per stay. Check that page for the current terms before you book.
How do you get to the Orpheum on show night?
Hennepin Arts publishes parking options for the district, including pre-purchase parking guides for the Orpheum and a ParkWhiz add-on at ticket checkout. If you would rather not drive, Metro Transit’s trip planner will map a ride from Loring Park, and Hennepin Arts notes that the METRO Blue and Green lines and many bus routes serve the theatre district. Allow extra time on a winter night.
Make it a whole weekend
With nothing on the Orpheum calendar Saturday night, use the day to explore. Our guide to staying near Hennepin Avenue’s winter shows shows how a theatre night pairs with the mansion. For dinner or drinks in a historic setting, the Pillsbury Club is a short trip away, and the Minneapolis Trolley runs vintage sightseeing tours out of the same mansion. Visiting longer? Oakland’s on 9th offers furnished stays downtown.
Dates will go. Check availability and book your Jan. 15 or 17 stay direct at 300 Clifton, then grab your Orpheum tickets.
