Magnolia Hotel St. Louis

Built in 1924 as the Mayfair Hotel by Charles Heiss, the Magnolia Hotel St. Louis has anchored downtown St. Louis for a century. The hotel is widely credited as the birthplace of the "chocolates on a pillow" tradition and now operates as a Tribute Portfolio property 200 feet from America's Center Convention Complex. The Magnolia Ballroom occupies the hotel's second floor, offering 4,426 square feet with 12-foot ceilings, stately columns, intricate chandeliers, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the historic Old Post Office Plaza — accommodating up to 250 guests. The ballroom divides into four named sections (Ballroom A through D) for smaller or multi-room configurations. The Julia King, Truman, and Heiss Boardroom offer meeting-room setups for groups from 16 to 50 guests. Events are supported by the hotel's dedicated sales team and on-site culinary team. Robie's Food & Drink serves all-day dining on-site, and complimentary WiFi and valet parking are available throughout the event floor.
