Overview
HREC Investment Advisors (“HREC IA”) is pleased to offer, to qualified investors, the opportunity to acquire the fee-simple interest in the 197-room St. Louis Airport Hotel (“Hotel” or “Property”), situated at 9600 Natural Bridge Road.
The St. Louis Airport Hotel offers the opportunity to acquire a 197-key, of which 90 rooms have been renovated to a luxury standard and are currently operational, full-service hotel within the established St. Louis Airport submarket. Currently operating as an independent property, the Hotel presents significant repositioning potential through capital improvements, enhanced sales and revenue management, a new operating strategy, and potential affiliation with a nationally recognized brand.
The Property benefits from its proximity to St. Louis Lambert International Airport, Missouri’s largest and busiest airport, which accommodates approximately 15.6 million passengers annually. The Airport is currently advancing a $3 billion redevelopment program that will consolidate its existing terminals into a modernized facility, with construction expected to continue through 2031. The Hotel also offers convenient access to I-270 and the broader St. Louis metropolitan area.
Corporate and industrial demand is supported by a significant concentration of employers and business operations surrounding the Airport. Boeing Defense, Space & Security is headquartered under three miles from the Property, with Boeing employing more than 18,000 people across its St. Louis-area operations. The company is investing $1.8 billion in a new advanced combat aircraft production facility near the Airport and maintains several major long-term defense programs. Additional nearby demand is generated by Centene Corporation, World Wide Technology, Edward Jones, Rawlings Sporting Goods, and several large industrial and logistics developments.
The surrounding market is further supported by healthcare, higher education, entertainment, and leisure demand throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area. Nearby institutions include SSM Health DePaul Hospital and the University of Missouri–St. Louis, while regional attractions and event venues include Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, Westport Plaza, the Saint Louis Zoo, and the Saint Louis Art Museum.
Given the Hotel’s current operating performance, the Property provides a new owner with multiple avenues to improve results through renovation, stronger management and revenue strategies, and potential brand conversion. Offered fee simple and unencumbered by a management agreement, the St. Louis Airport Hotel provides the flexibility to execute a comprehensive repositioning strategy and capitalize on its location within one of the region’s primary transportation and employment centers.
Investment Highlights
Significant Repositioning Opportunity
The St. Louis Airport Hotel offers a new owner the opportunity to reposition an independent 197-key asset within the established St. Louis Airport submarket. Capital improvements, stronger sales and revenue management, and a new operating strategy provide multiple avenues to improve the Hotel’s market position and overall performance.
Brand Conversion Opportunity
Currently operating as an independent hotel, the Property offers a new owner the opportunity to pursue a nationally recognized brand affiliation. A conversion could provide access to broader distribution channels, loyalty programs, corporate accounts, and brand reservation systems, expanding the Hotel’s reach within the St. Louis Airport submarket.
Premium St. Louis Airport Location
Located just over two miles from St. Louis Lambert International Airport, the Property benefits from immediate access to Missouri’s largest and busiest airport, which accommodated approximately 15.6 million passengers in 2025 and offers nonstop service to more than 70 destinations. The Hotel is also near Boeing Defense, Space & Security, Westport Plaza, and several large industrial and logistics developments surrounding the Airport, supporting a broad mix of corporate, aviation, and transient travel.
$3 Billion St. Louis Lambert International Airport Redevelopment
St. Louis Lambert International Airport is advancing a $3 billion redevelopment program that will consolidate its existing terminals into a modernized facility with expanded gate capacity and improvements to roadways, parking, passenger facilities, and supporting infrastructure. Construction is expected to continue through 2031, providing significant ongoing investment in the Airport and surrounding submarket.
Major Aerospace & Defense Investment
Boeing employs more than 18,000 people across its St. Louis-area operations, with Boeing Defense, Space & Security headquartered adjacent to St. Louis Lambert International Airport. The company is investing $1.8 billion in a new advanced combat aircraft production facility and was recently awarded an F-15 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with a maximum value of $131.2 billion through 2037. These investments reinforce Boeing’s long-term manufacturing and employment presence within the St. Louis Airport submarket.
Offered Unencumbered by Management
The St. Louis Airport Hotel is being offered unencumbered by a management agreement, providing a new owner with the flexibility to engage a new third-party manager or self-operate the Property. This flexibility allows new ownership to implement its preferred operating strategy, cost controls, and revenue management practices.
Offered Well Below Replacement Cost
The Property is expected to trade at a substantial discount to the cost of developing a comparable 197-key hotel today. An acquisition below replacement cost provides a new owner with an attractive basis from which to complete capital improvements, pursue a brand conversion, and reposition the Hotel within the St. Louis Airport submarket.
Fee Simple Interest
