"Union Station is a landmark in St. Louis," said Rob Steigerwald, Marriott Executive Vice President-North American Lodging. "We are honored to be a part of both the history this building and the City of St. Louis."

Guest room and suite renovations are already underway across the hotel. More than $20 Million in upgrades, construction and renovation are planned as part of the new Marriott property. Additional specifics on the upgrades will be announced in the first quarter of 2009.

"We are excited to bring Marriott and its prestige back to downtown St. Louis," said Doug Dean, General Manager of the St. Louis Union Station Marriott.

This hotel has a wonderful history and we look forward to the future, introducing returning guests and new customers to our Marriott."

From the elegant concierge rooms in the original terminal hotel building, to the garden rooms that offer views of the Union Station lake, guests will be treated to the traditional style and impeccable service that has made Marriott a worldwide leader in the hospitality industry.

"The renovation of this wonderful property and addition of Marriott and its first-class amenities gives St. Louis another jewel as we look to attract even more conventions and visitors to our city," said Kitty Ratcliffe, President of the St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission.
