Anniversary flowers in Saint Paul

If the anniversary involves a hotel stay, send to the front desk and say so in the note. The Saint Paul Hotel, the InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront at 11 East Kellogg Boulevard with its river-side view, Hotel 340 in the old Saint Paul Athletic Club building on Cedar Street, Celeste of St. Paul on Exchange Street South, the Embassy Suites on East Tenth, the DoubleTree on Minnesota Street, the Hyatt Place on East Kellogg and the Holiday Inn across from the arena on West Seventh all sign for deliveries at the desk and hold them for arriving guests. A front desk will not open a room to place flowers inside without the guest's involvement, so the realistic version of the surprise is an arrangement waiting at check-in rather than one staged on the bed. Give the desk the reservation name exactly as booked and the check-in date — a bouquet addressed to a guest who has not arrived yet is the single most common way a hotel delivery goes sideways. A restaurant table is a different problem and worth stating plainly: we deliver to addresses, and we do not have a standing arrangement with any Saint Paul restaurant. If you want flowers on the table, call the restaurant yourself, ask whether the host will hold an arrangement, and have it delivered in the afternoon during prep hours rather than at seven o'clock when the room is full. Most Saint Paul restaurants are small and family-run and will say yes if you ask; none of them will appreciate a bouquet arriving mid-service unannounced.
