The Chase Park Plaza

What The Chase Park Plaza does

The Chase Park Plaza, operating as The Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza St. Louis, is a historic full-service luxury hotel located at 212 N. Kingshighway Blvd. in St. Louis's Central West End, founded in 1922 and operated as part of the Sonesta International Hotels Corporation portfolio since a 2022 rebrand. The property combines an Italian Renaissance main building (1922) and a 27-story Art Deco tower (1929) into a single asset offering standard rooms and suites, 51 upscale Chase Apartments across 8 floorplans, Park Plaza Executive Apartments, an 18,000-square-foot Santé Fitness Center, a Mediterranean-style outdoor pool, a five-screen Chase Park Plaza Cinema, the CUTTERS & CO. barbershop, and 65,000+ square feet of flexible meeting and event space including the historic Khorassan Ballroom. Dining is operated through three on-site concepts — Chase Club (gastropub), The Preston (contemporary American), and The Tenderloin Room (steakhouse) — supplemented by in-room dining, with a $25/night destination fee bundling F&B credit, fitness access, WiFi, and other amenities.

Revenue is generated across six primary streams: transient and group room revenue, food and beverage (three restaurants plus banqueting and in-room dining), meetings and events, parking (valet $50/night, self $40/night, hourly), long-term apartment stays (30+ days with discounted F&B), and ancillary fees (destination fee, $80 pet fee under the PAWS program). Distribution runs through direct booking (sonesta.com, phone, dedicated group and apartment sales teams), major OTAs (Expedia, Booking.com), the Sonesta Travel Pass loyalty program, a specialized GOV booking code for government/military travelers, and an RFP-driven events/wedding sales engine. Customer segmentation spans business travelers, leisure visitors to Forest Park-area attractions, wedding parties, government and military travelers, medical/healthcare meeting planners (HMCC-VV verified), and extended-stay guests — with compliance certifications (AAA 4 Diamond, Historic Hotels of America, HMCC-VV, Government Travel Certified) functioning as both quality signals and segment-access credentials.

Headcount is reported at 251-500 employees. The property is privately held within Sonesta International Hotels Corporation; no funding rounds, M&A activity, or external private equity ownership are disclosed. AI/ML capabilities are not described in available materials — technology comprises standard PMS and booking systems with Google Chromecast in-room, plus OpenTable and Fable integrations. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, limiting quantitative growth assessment; available evidence points to incremental product/segment expansion (Park Plaza Executive Apartment launch, PAWS program, HMCC-VV certification, Government Travel Certified program, 2024 awards cluster) consistent with moderate growth.
