Chase Park Plaza Hotel

The Chase Park Plaza Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri, offers a rare treat in historic hotels: unfettered access to two historic city landmarks sharing the same street address. The Chase, built by and named after Chase Ullman, opened in 1922; seven years later construction started on the Park Plaza, brainchild of legendary hotelier Sam Koplar. During the Big Band scene, the hotel broadcasted such luminary performers as Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin and Bob Hope from its exclusive Chase Club, and at some point every U.S. president from the 1920s through the 1980s have called the Chase Park Plaza Hotel home.

After $100 million in renovation, this Art Deco property has 251 rooms, five restaurants, banquet and meeting facilities, a rooftop lounge, a five-screen cinema, a full spa and wellness center and a health club—all contained within one million square feet. Every detail has been accounted for, from marble hallways leading to towering ceilings graced with crystal chandeliers to the concessions offered in the five-screen cinema.

Amenities:

The Chase Park Plaza Hotel serves as the template for an urban hotel when it comes to amenities and activities: five restaurants, a massive ballroom, a world-class rooftop nightclub, a five-screen cinema, a full-service salon and spa, a boutique, a gift shop, a flower shop, a full-service business center, a heated outdoor pool and meeting space for up to 2,500 guests. The Chase also maintains an exclusive relationship with world-class golf courses in the St. Louis metropolitan area. And of course, there’s the full array of urban attractions—shopping, nightlife, theater—within the city itself.

Dining:

The Chase Park Plaza Hotel has five on-site dining options, each with a different atmosphere, every one with delicious cuisine. Specializing in New American cuisine, the inviting Eau Bistro restaurant dazzles any sophisticated palate with fresh seafood and meats from select sources around the country and a 300-bottle wine list. Cafe Eau is known for such defining touches as an ice bar, which keeps drinks perfectly chilled, and a diverse menu filled with eclectic creations for lunch, breakfast and dinner. Live entertainment and patio seating make Cafe Eau one of St. Louis' most popular nightspots.

Elegance and a soothing atmosphere prevail in the Tenderloin Room, legendary for it succulent and masterfully seasoned steaks, along with fresh seafood, classic soups and salads and nightly live piano. Marquee Cafe, meanwhile, offers seasonal American light fare and creatively prepared daily specials in a relaxed setting with ample outdoor seating. Chasers, the Chase Park Plaza's full-service bar, is conveniently located adjacent to the hotel??s five-screen cinema, and hosts live jazz on Friday and Saturday evenings.
