Our hotel is in the middle of a hospital complex. It seems to be a hotel for grieving relatives and families huddled together to watch grandma die.
Another Tadao Ando building is next to the venue; it’s a Pulitzer Foundation and contemporary art museum, sort of bundled together. More beautiful bunkers. Those buildings are seen as lynchpins in a renewal effort for this uptown neighborhood, which encompasses St. Louis University and a massive Masonic lodge.
