Conference Site

Listed as a Historical Hotel of America, the St. Louis Union Station Marriott offers unsurpassed beauty and elegance in a downtown setting. It occupies one of the city's most spectacular buildings, a grandiose rail terminal built in 1894. The 539-room hotel dominates only a portion of the terminal, which is now an 11-acre dining, shopping, and entertainment complex. Grand Hall, the former station's waiting room, has a breathtaking 65-ft-high barrel vault, Romanesque arches, elaborate frescoes highlighted in gold leaf, a lounge exhibiting beautiful craftsmanship, and an infamous "Whispering Arch" carrying conversations 40 feet away.
