In the last ten years downtown St. Louis has gone through a rebirth: the mixture of nightlife, museums, history and right now will make St. Louis a remembered convention. With eclectic neighborhoods within cab distance and the arch just five blocks away we're excited to be proposing this venue. The hotel will accommodate all of the conventions needs, from a generously proportioned Dealer's room to the personalized bedding in your rooms.
