This Saturday before you start your plans with your loved-one, come to the CWE and show your support for an endangered Mid-century building. Remember...once building like these are gone... it is forever. With the proper vision and design, this building could be the coolest boutique hotel in St. Louis.
Here is a link to a website that has been focused on the San Luis.
Here are some pics of The Standard Hotel on the Sunset Strip in LA. Once a shabby mid-century eyesore....now it is one of the hippest hotels in the area. All the San Luis needs is someone with the right vision for the mid-century building.

this building is a modernist beacon for saint louis. however, it is not entirely urban in design considering the auto-centered design program. it currently has aesthetic issues concerning the paved drive court and integration into the street scape.
