Story

After being shuttered since 2011, the original Hotel Lennox (opened in 1929) has become Courtyard by Marriott St. Louis Downtown/Convention Center. Our revitalized hotel in downtown, St. Louis, Missouri is one of the most unique and historically significant Courtyard-branded hotels in the country. We have undergone a significant renovation, with an investment of over $22M into the property during a 16-month restoration, and now operate as a Courtyard franchise, owned and managed by affiliates of Maritz Wolff & Co. (dba Lennox Suites, LLC) whose principals are natives of St. Louis and previously owned The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis. The property, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is located at 823-827 Washington Avenue and was originally designed by Preston Bradshaw, one of the most significant St. Louis architects in the 1920s. The hotel was built in the Renaissance Revival style, with terracotta faces and cornices, during the commercial boom of the 1920s, which have been painstakingly preserved by the new owners. The most notable interior features of the original building, which have been fully restored, are the interior green marble wainscoting, wood paneling and ornamental brass elevator doors in the lobby. The multi-million dollar renovations truly blend the building's historical elements with modern day amenities.
