    Marriott St. Louis Grand

    Our Hotel

    A redesign earned us recognition from Marriott International in 2016 and made our hotel a destination for discerning travelers. Located downtown, the Marriott St. Louis Grand retains the charm of its historical building while offering a stylish stay. The touch of transformation is introduced in the Greatroom, a place to connect with free Wi-Fi or over hand-crafted cocktails. It’s also home to Zenia Bar & Grille, offering microbrews alongside chef-crafted cuisine. When you’re on the go, 8th Street Pantry is the place for snacks and beverages. Reimagined guest rooms offer simplicity with platform beds, multi-use surfaces, expandable closets, locally inspired art and spa-like bathrooms. A light-filled fitness center features the latest equipment. Across from the convention center, our St. Louis hotel offers over 55,000 square feet of meeting and event space, including one of the city’s largest ballrooms with room for 2,500 guests. We’re also near attractions including the Gateway Arch and Busch Stadium.
