The Rendezvous
NEW HOTEL JEFFERSON - - - - - SAINT LOUIS, MO. |
Historic hotel dating to the St. Louis Worlds Fair, located on the west-side of the downtown area. This building was built for the 1904 St. Louis Worlds Fair, originally with 400 rooms. Following the Fair, the hotel, in the heart of the downtown entertainment district, was a favorite of the social set as limousines deposited theatre-goers there for after-performance dinners and gatherings. In 1928, a major addition to the west was completed when owners rebranded the hotel as the New Hotel Jefferson. The addition notably did not attempt to replicate the appearance of the original section, but instead offered a more subdued but still classically-oriented facade on Locust Street.
