LOUIS, Feb. 2, 2009 - In the heart of downtown St. Louis, steps from the Gateway Arch, stands the city's newest premier hotel, the 910-room Hyatt Regency St. Louis Riverfront (www.stlouisriverfront.hyatt.com ). Currently undergoing a $63 million transformation that will be completed in July 2009, the hotel plays a significant role in the revitalization efforts of downtown St. Louis. The city and its developers have invested more than $4 billion on several projects to help revitalize the downtown area and further establish St. Louis as a top Midwest destination. . 
Hyatt Regency St. Louis Riverfront (formerly Adam's Mark Hotel) 315 Chestnut Street St. Louis, Missouri "This is an exciting time of change for the downtown area and Hyatt is thrilled to be part of it. Our ideal location near St. Louis' most popular attractions will help bring visitors to the area, showcasing all the downtown area has to offer," said Greg Saunders, managing director, Hyatt Regency St. Louis Riverfront. "Upon completion of our renovation, the hotel's unparalleled location, its stand-alone meeting facilities and renowned Hyatt service will establish Hyatt Regency St. Louis Riverfront not only as the city's premier address, but also as one of the Midwest's leading hotels." The top-to-bottom renovation includes all public areas, restaurants, guestrooms, bathrooms and meeting space.
