Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel Awarded AAA Four-Diamond Rating

ST. LOUIS, MO--(Marketwire - Jul 8, 2011) - Officials from the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel announced that the property has been awarded the prestigious AAA Four-Diamond Award for the second consecutive year. Located at 9801 Natural Bridge Road in St. Louis, Mo., the hotel is the only hotel in the St. Louis Airport area to receive the Four-Diamond rating for 2012. The property is managed by Davidson Hotels & Resorts, one of the nation's largest hotel management companies.

The hotels who receive this award are upscale in all areas. The award's stringent criteria are based on an enhanced level of quality throughout the hotel, an extensive array of amenities and a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail.

"Receiving the AAA Four Diamond award for the second straight year confirms our commitment to service and standards that provide our guests with a memorable experience," said Bill Fontes, General Manager. "Our hotel is in peak physical condition and each of our team members are dedicated to delivering exceptional service."

The Renaissance St. Louis Airport's 393 guest rooms feature extravagant pillow top mattresses, down comforters, luxury linens, stylish work and seating areas, high-speed Internet and dual-line phones. Executive Suites provide extra touches of comfort with oversized rooms and wet bars, while Club Level lodging options provide guests with deluxe accommodations and enhanced services. Since garnering the 2011 award last year, the luxury hotel in St. Louis has been further enhanced as a result of a Concierge Lounge renovation that incorporated a new color scheme with rich textures, granite countertops, wood trim, new carpeting, and new furniture. The new seating now includes leather high-top individual seats, with nine power outlets for laptop usage. Other amenities include an upgraded fax and computer station and a new 55" high-definition flat-screen TV.

T-Bone Trattoria, an Italian steakhouse, is one of the premier St. Louis airport restaurants, offering sumptuous steaks and perfectly crafted cocktails in an upscale, but casual, relaxing atmosphere, while Curtain Club Bar is the perfect place to unwind and gather with friends. The Caffe Espresso coffee house, proudly brewing Starbucks coffee, is perfect for lighter fare dining. Hotel amenities include a fully equipped fitness center, an indoor swimming pool, heated outdoor swimming pool & whirlpool, full-service business center and complimentary shoe shine.

Located one-half mile southeast of Lambert International Airport, the Hotel is one of the city's most comprehensive meeting facilities.
