ARCHITECT
Louis Sullivan
Hotel Saint Louis revitalizes an 1893 historic landmark designed by the famed architect Louis Sullivan along with his team at Adler & Sullivan and constructed as the St. Louis Union Trust Company. Sullivan, considered the creator of the modern skyscraper, is credited with the modernist credo, "form ever follows function."
Hotel Saint Louis is an homage to Sullivan and his legacy. The rooftop bar, FORM Skybar, reflects Sullivan’s famous philosophy while the street-level restaurant is named “Union 30” after the building’s original name and its placement on the city's landmark list. The original two-story lobby has been restored along with a recreation of the stained-glass roof. In addition, the top three floors have been converted into 14 luxury apartments.
