The Homewood Suites – St. Louis Galleria has been very well received in the marketplace.  From neighbors looking for a convenient place to house family and friends, to nearby corporations who love the extended stay model for their associates, the hotel has settled into serving numerous key nitches.

When the hotel opened at the corner of Brentwood Boulevard and Clayton Road, a piece of St. Louis history was also cleverly resurrected.  On that site in 1947, the original Fitz’s Drive-In opened and soon became a St. Louis county hot spot known for its frosty mug root beer.  Now guests at the new Homewood Suites hotel, the third in the metro area, can enjoy a taste of Fitz’s any day, as a tap in the lobby serves up the St. Louis favorite.

In fact, guests at the extended stay hotel can enjoy a taste of numerous quintessential St. Louis products.  In an effort to give guests a real taste of St. Louis during their stay, the hotel’s Suite Shop offers Schlafly beer, Bissinger’s chocolates, Dad’s Scotch Oatmeal Cookies, Ted Drewes frozen custard, Switzer’s licorice, Louisa’s toasted ravioli, and of course, several flavors of Fitz’s.  Gooey butter cake is a mainstay on the hotel’s complimentary breakfast buffet, and if guests discover a new favorite treat, they can even have it shipped home.

“Most of the guests who stay in our hotel, whether on business or for personal reasons, are here for more than a night or two,” explained Michael Mullenix, chairman and CEO of Equis Hospitality Management.  “We have all the amenities that people expect in a first-class hotel, but what we really wanted to do was make them feel at home…give them an authentic St. Louis experience.  Gooey butter cake, toasted ravioli, Ted Drewes, Fitz’s – we’ve taken all the quintessential St. Louis products and put them under one roof.”
