The recent reviews definitely indicate that its Holiday Inn flag was revoked. IHG now only has one offering in Downtown (Hotel Indigo) which is not ideal.
I was really hoping that this property would get a major refresh while during the Convention Center construction, ideally it could have even been somewhat integrated via skybridge or something.

That Holiday Inn has always been sketch. It losing it's designation isn't shocking. Even in hotel crazy a place like Chicago I think IHG has like 5 hotels and maybe 2 of them are Holiday Inns.
On a related note has anyone noticed all the brand shifts at the hotels along I-44 down in Fenton and Valley Park? Mostly from mainline chains to lesser brands.

The Drury and Pear Tree Inn in Fenton changed to Heritage Inn and Wingate Inn. Drury and Hampton Inn recently renovated their hotels at 141 and 44. Fairfield Inn and TownePlace Suites extended stay in Fenton has turned into a Best Western (great reviews) and Extended Stay America Suites (not good reviews). Super 8, Stratford, and Motel 6 were all recently torn down (they were all dumps at the time of demo).dweebe wrote: ↑Jul 16, 2025That Holiday Inn has always been sketch.

Fenton is also getting a new Hampton Inn right across the highway from Wally's.
That Hampton Inn at 141 and 44 is getting downgraded to a Spark. That's Hilton's new lowest tier brand.jacob_rb_15 wrote: ↑Jul 16, 2025The Drury and Pear Tree Inn in Fenton changed to Heritage Inn and Wingate Inn.

So that explains why they'd build a new Hampton Inn across of Wally's
This is sorta my hope with Holiday Inn downtown dropping its flag. Maybe they have plans for new Holiday Inn somewhere else downtown. Or maybe it's just cope.dweebe wrote: ↑Jul 16, 2025That Hampton Inn at 141 and 44 is getting downgraded to a Spark.

I believe the brand has been dropped before. It is frustrating.
The proposed Kimpton at Jefferson and Market Street would be an IHG flag. The Staybridge Suites which was dropped from the project is also IHG.

met with a large hotel operator today, he said we are on pace for 8% Y2Y growth, which would be #1 in the country for the top 25 largest metros.

Le Meridian Hotel downtown targets a March reopening after $1.7 million in renovations.
They will hire 20-40 employees. They have not found a new restaurant tenant yet and are considering running their own internally owned restaurant.

Its a pretty tired Hampton Inn. BUT there are a lot of cool old photos in the lobby/common area of the area before the hotel being built, then construction and the early years.
OK, not a hotel per se, but I couldn't think of a better place to put this.
When you search for St. Louis on AirBnB, why is one of the first results "Downtown East St. Louis"? I think it considers Downtown STL to be "Downtown East" (as opposed to Downtown West), but it makes it sound like you're booking an AirBnB in East St. Louis
Can we contact someone to fix this?
Also, why is there an AirBnB in Gateway Arch Nat'l Park??

Sounds like the Pear Tree Inn next to the Dome is closed.
It's not on their location list and doesn't return anything when you do a search by various dates.
