Sheraton St. Louis Downtown

Midas Hospitality is putting $81 million into converting the historic Edison Brothers Building in downtown St. Louis into the 284-room Sheraton St. Louis Downtown, set to reopen in fall 2027. The project restores the building's landmark 1984 trompe l'oeil mural alongside a full renovation of the guest rooms and meeting space.

The place

The hotel occupies part of the nearly 950,000-square-foot Edison Brothers Building at 400 S. 14th Street in downtown St. Louis, one block from Enterprise Center, in a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The concept

Midas Hospitality's $81 million repositioning converts a building first built in the late 1920s as a J.C. Penney distribution center, later home to shoe manufacturer Edison Brothers and, for the past two decades, a mixed hotel-and-condominium property, into a 284-room Sheraton. Central to the project is the restoration, by original artist Richard Haas, of the building's 1984 trompe l'oeil mural depicting the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair across three of its facades.

Dining & wellness

The hotel will include expansive meeting and event space on the top floor and a rooftop outdoor deck for guests and event attendees; specific restaurant and bar concepts have not yet been announced.
