Marriott St. Louis Grand is a full-service hotel at 800 Washington Avenue in the heart of downtown St. Louis, Missouri, occupying the restored Mississippi Hotel — a century-old building that anchors the Washington Avenue entertainment and loft district. The property is within easy walking distance of the Gateway Arch National Park, Busch Stadium (home of the St. Louis Cardinals), Enterprise Center (home of the St. Louis Blues), and Ballpark Village. The St. Louis America's Center Convention Complex and multiple downtown event venues are also within a short walk, making the hotel a practical anchor for business, convention, and sports travel.
The building's historic character is preserved in the lobby's soaring coffered ceilings, original masonry details, and restored brass hardware, while guest rooms have been modernized throughout with contemporary furnishings and updated bathrooms. Room categories include Standard King, Standard Double, Deluxe King, Junior Suite, and the Grand Suite, all featuring premium bedding and modern amenities. Upper floors provide views over the Washington Avenue corridor and, on the east side, toward the Arch grounds and the Mississippi River.
The hotel's restaurant serves American cuisine covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner with regional Missouri influences. A bar with a substantial craft beer and cocktail program reflects the neighborhood's dining and entertainment culture. An indoor pool open year-round and a fitness center support wellness during longer stays. Business travelers benefit from a fully equipped business center and multiple meeting room configurations.
The Washington Avenue location puts guests at the center of St. Louis's most walkable dining and nightlife corridor, with dozens of restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues in renovated historic buildings immediately outside. The nearby City Museum, one of St. Louis's most celebrated and unconventional attractions, is about ten minutes on foot.
