Paris-based Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott International, along with Hawkeye Hotels, has opened the Le Méridien St. Louis Downtown. Hawkeye Hotels will operate the hotel.
The 96-room hotel was built in 1913 as the Hotel Majestic, and now is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
"To watch the deep history of this hotel and the French heritage of St. Louis come to life through an unprecedented rehabilitation has been truly special,” said Om Patel, VP of development for Hawkeye Hotels. “It has been important to our team to honor the hotel's unique history while also incorporating the mid-century modern design that is signature to Le Méridien. We can't wait for guests to experience that combination of modernized amenities with timeless elegance."
The hotel’s façade blends traditional elements with a modern flair, while the interior has a combination of custom designs with vintage details.
Inside the hotel, the full-service Prime 55 Restaurant & Lounge serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and provides room service. Le Scoop by Le Méridien, serving locally sourced gelato, will open soon. The hotel also has an updated fitness center.
The hotel has 1,210 square feet of meeting and event space, equipped with Samsung SmartBoard technology. The Majestic Room accommodates around 100 guests and can be converted into two separate event spaces.
