^When you say 'retail open to the street', does that include Memorial Drive? Is that even possible? I assume that is all basement/mechanical on that side of the building, and it obviously wouldn't be on the lobby floor.
I doubt there will be retail on Memorial Drive.
The Memorial/Chestnut corner of the building is the parking garage entrance/exit.

Competition is fueling more than $100 million in hotel renovations this winter.
The largest is the $63 million renovation of the 910-room Hyatt Regency St. Louis Riverfront, formerly the Adam’s Mark Hotel. Meanwhile, the 301-room Ritz-Carlton in Clayton is moving forward on a $12 million renovation that had been delayed a year...
Brian Morris, director of sales and marketing with Hyatt, said his renovation includes bringing a Ruth’s Chris Steak House to replace the Faust’s Restaurant on the main level, and replacing the AJ’s nightclub with an upscale bar and an expanded fitness center.

Here are a few updates for the Hyatt Regency St. Louis Riverfront renovations I've noticed:
The new Starbuck's at the Hyatt has been open for a couple weeks now. It seemed to be extremely busy this past weekend when I walked through to take a look.
The St. Louis Brew House restaurant has been open at the hotel for a few weeks, too.
And per the Ruth's Chris website, their restaurant opens on June 29th.
I think another restaurant is being built there as well.

Checked out Brewhouse last night. It looks nice and the bar is comfortable. They have a decent beer selection and a large menu.
Tons of plasma's. Definitely a good place to watch a game.
The other restaurant you were talking about is going to be called Red. It should be open in July.
The Starbucks in there is huge. They usually have free copies of USA Today and Post-Dispatch available.
All in all, a big improvement compared to the old Adams Mark.

Here is a link to some nice pictures from Hyatt that they also put on Flickr, apparently. Includes some nice downtown shots.

It is hard to believe this use to be Adam's Mark. The place looks fantastic inside and out. The new interior of the grand lobby is very contemporary - from the new chandeliers (modern / contemp) to the new bar/lighting, Ruth Chris, Starbucks... yadda yadda - the place is just an entire new hotel. Check it out - it is an amazing transformation!

I need to get over there to check it out. The Adam's Mark was so dated, I'm sure the improvements make a big difference.
I wish the Hyatt would install spot lights on those blank brick walls to light the eastern facade (kind of like Pointe 400 does) - it would really make the building look great at night.

That would be nice. The last time I was on Memorial Drive (a few days ago) the banner for the Sheryl Crow concert was still there. I don't know if banners like that are the answer, but something should be done to liven up the bland facade, especially since the extensive improvements inside have added some much needed life to the place.
