After a long voting process, the king of America’s Best Restroom (sponsored by Cintas Corporation) has been crowned. The 2016 winner is St. Paul International Airport in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport recently began renovating its restrooms, which will continue through 2025 to encompass more than 100 sets of public restrooms. Restroom zones are highlighted by softer lighting and a material palette that serves as a wayfinding icon. This zone includes a waiting area as well as an amenity node with flight information, emergency devices, and curated art display cases. Art that reflects features of Minnesota is also featured within the restrooms with original mosaic art in the entrances, created by a different regional artist at each set.

The nine other finalists in the running include:
 • Coco-Cola Park in Allenton, Pennsylvania
 • Lena Brava in Chicago, Illinois
 • The Novel Neighbor in St. Louis, Missouri
 • Safe House in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
 • Swift & Sons in Chicago, Illinois
 • The Charmey in Baltimore, Maryland
 • The Vine in New York, New York
 • The Way Station in Brooklyn, New York
 • Urban Ecology Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
