Flag goes up on renovated Hyatt downtown
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Last week, they opened the steak house.
Today, they raise the flag.
Yes, just in time for the All-Star game, the newly made-over Hyatt Regency St. Louis Riverfront is celebrating its grand opening this morning, with a flag-raising ceremony atop the 18-story hotel.
The 910-room hotel, formerly the Adam’s Mark, has been undergoing a $63 million renovation for the last several months. Its new owners - Chartres Lodging Group LLC - re-did all of its rooms and public spaces and brought in three new restaurants, a Starbucks and a new health club.
While the hotel remained open during renovation, it is now “re-opened.”

You would think for $63 million they would have paid for some business ethics classes.
Sounds like an extremely high amount for a hotel renovation, but I’m glad the owners thought it was worth the investment. Always good news when someone invests in our front door to the world.
Great! Does that mean that Pine Street will no longer be blocked off by semi trucks, concrete trucks, dump trucks, and every other truck known to man during rush hour every morning?
@Mark, Amen! I laughed out loud when I read that.
The negativity on this message board is unparalleled. When companies pull out of downtown, we whine, when companies renovate aging buildings, we whine. Perhaps St. Louis wouldn’t be so depressing if its citizens showed some sign of a positive outlook on improvement or any sort of optimism in general. Whining will get the city no where. Hopefully this behavior is providing necessary stress relief to a bunch of frustrated individuals and will help prevent them from committing crimes or selling their Rams tickets.
Bite me rujo.
