Chicago, Illinois, May 16, 2024 – Maverick Hotels and Restaurants announced today that it is now managing The Last Hotel STL, located in Saint Louis, Missouri. Maverick founder and CEO Robert Habeeb made the announcement.
The Last Hotel STL is steeped in history and architectural richness and embodies the preservation, restoration, and reinvention of the International Shoe Company. Originally opened in 1909, the iconic building boasts elaborate stone carvings, ornate metalwork, and terrazzo floors all in the Neoclassical and Art Deco styles. By forging a marriage of historic details and modern interiors, The Last Hotel STL comes alive with renewed energy while nodding to a bygone era.
Located in a former shoe factory, this chic hotel has an Art Deco vibe and features stylish mid-century furnishings. The hotel’s refined rooms range in size from 433 to 457 sq. ft. and include two queen-sized beds luxury boutique linens, a work desk, power port box, 55” HD televisions, in-room mini bar, original barrel ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Suites feature a king-size bed with all the same amenities but also Designer CO Bigelow amenities, an oversized bathroom and a custom subway-tiled walk-in shower.
Property features include an upscale restaurant and a snack shop, as well as a rooftop with an adults-only pool and a bar. There’s also a fitness center, and meeting and event space. Breakfast and valet parking are also available.
The Last Hotel STL is short two-minute walk from the funky, interactive City Museum City Museum, which is home to a 10-story spiral slide, the world’s largest jungle gym, and a rooftop garden that offers amazing city views. Some 20 artists created the large-scale features of this interactive museum well before the term ‘immersive art’ became a thing. It’s also only a mile from both I-64 and baseball games at Busch Stadium.
“Maverick is pleased to enter the St. Louis market with the addition of this one-of-a-kind hotel to our growing and increasingly diverse portfolio,” said Habeeb. “It’s an exciting property with a storied history; one we look forward to continuing to write.”
