Imagine a place that can send a meeting group under the sea or up in the air — all without leaving the complex that houses a luxurious hotel and the largest hotel meeting space in the destination. It’s all available in one venue — St. Louis Union Station.
The stunning National Historic Landmark train station — designed to resemble a French fortress — is a meeting venue, hotel, and entertainment destination all in one which offers unique spaces and opportunities in the heart of St. Louis, MO, the country’s most central meeting and convention location.

Built in 1894, Union Station has welcomed travelers to St. Louis for generations. Today the complex is growing into an entertainment destination with the addition of the St. Louis Aquarium and other activities, including a 200-foot-tall observation wheel. A total of $187 million is being spent to add attractions and transform the station’s meeting space and guestrooms.
Opening in late 2019, the 120,000-sq-ft aquarium will be home to more than 13,000 animals in state-of-the-art environments created in more than a million gallons of water. Sharks, Devil Rays, Jellyfish, Otters, and exotic animals from the oceans and rivers of the world will call St. Louis Union Station home. Touch-friendly exhibits will give groups a hands-on and hands-wet experience.
Meeting groups can host receptions in the aquarium’s function space with underwater environments as a background wall. Groups can also reserve the entire aquarium after hours for their social events.
The station’s 567-room AAA Four-Diamond hotel is a Curio Collection by Hilton. Recently renovated executive suites and rooms are located in the historic Clocktower and Grand Hall areas of the station. Many additional rooms overlook the new aquarium and the Station’s lake and train park.
Receptions and dinners can be held in the station’s Grand Hall under an elaborate 65-ft.-tall barrel vaulted ceiling in the train station’s original waiting room. An award-winning 3-D light and music show plays on the ceiling each evening and shows can be selected to play at specific times for group events.
The hotel has added 24,000 sq. ft. of new meeting space by expanding the Midway area — where passengers bought their tickets and waited for trains — to create seven new breakout rooms. St. Louis Union Station now includes a total of 120,000 sq. ft. of flexible meeting and ballroom space.
In addition to the aquarium, St. Louis Union Station offers an entire entertainment complex under its 500,000-sq.-ft. train shed. An 18-hole mini golf course is perfect for private teambuilding events, and the new 200-ft.-tall St. Louis Wheel can take 336 people at a time for rides in 42 luxurious gondolas for views high over the city. Group messages and logos can be displayed on the wheel.
Surrounding the observation wheel, Union Station’s Train Park offers landscaped, outdoor space for concerts and events. Three restaurants ring the Train Park — the Soda Fountain, featuring burgers and boozy shakes; the Train Shed, with chef-driven cuisine and international beers on tap; and Landry’s Seafood. All have space available for groups.
Mindful of its railroading past, Union Station brings the romance of the rails to groups. Historic train cars can host static receptions on site or rolling events along St. Louis’ tracks or excursions to other cities and back.
St. Louis Union Station is owned by Lodging Hospitality Management (LHM), the largest privately owned hotel company in St. Louis. The hotel has been named one of the world’s top railway themed hotels by Condé Nast.
