Our trusted partner, onPeak, is working to secure a range of hotel options near the America’s Center Convention Complex to fit your budget, comfort, and schedule. It’s important to remember that not all accommodations are created equal, and with so many options available, it’s worth asking a few key questions before booking. Whether you’re looking to be right in the heart of action or prefer a quieter space to recharge, this guide is your checklist to help you prioritize what matters most when planning your trip to St. Louis. No matter where you land, SC25 is working to ensure you have reliable, vetted options nearby with onPeak’s seamless process. Conference Venue The America’s Center Convention Complex is centrally located in downtown St. Louis, surrounded by a range of hotels, attractions and green spaces. View Hotel & walking map Getting Close to the Action Immediate vicinity hotels If staying close to the conference is your top priority, the immediate vicinity offers unbeatable convenience. These hotels are just steps from the convention center, ideal for early morning sessions and quick breaks between events. You’ll be right in the middle of the SC25 energy, with fast access to nearby coffee shops, fast-casual dining and evening meetups. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: Marriott St. Louis Grand Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Louis Downtown Courtyard by Marriott Downtown/Convention Center Drury Inn & Suites Convention Center Pear Tree Inn Convention Center Get Some Fresh Air Hotels in Walkable Distance Slightly further but still within easy walking distance, this area offers more flexibility in pricing and atmosphere.

EXAMPLES INCLUDE: Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis Hotelumiere at the Arch The Westin Gateway to Success Your St. Louis Hotel checklist Ready to get planning? Here are some questions you should explore in narrowing down your preferred hotel sites. Scheduling: What Dates Should You Book? SC25 officially takes place November 16-21, but many attendees arrive early for workshops, or stay after to explore St. Louis or continue networking. While our program schedule is due to start appearing in June, it’s good to note down any sessions you have an active speaking or participation role in and book accordingly. Also make a note of hotel check-in and check-out times to avoid last-minute surprises. Budget: Plan Ahead What’s your total housing budget? Will you stay solo or split costs with a roommate? Are you hoping to cook a few meals in the kitchenette or prioritize a complimentary breakfast? Consider these questions early; some hotels offer built-in amenities that can help you save money over the course of the conference. Comfort and Amenities: What ‘Mattress’ to You? From in-room WiFi to fitness centers, your ideal stay will depend on what helps you feel the most at home. Need accessible features like step-free access or specific room configurations? SC25 housing options offer a wide range, but early booking increases your chance of getting exactly what you need. Getting to the Venue Most SC25 hotels are within walking distance from the convention center. For attendees staying farther out, the conference offers a free shuttle service between selected hotels and the venue. Shuttles run regularly during peak hours, making it simple to arrive for the early morning sessions or to head back after evening events. Our shuttle service schedule and map will launch soon!
