It's honestly breathtaking and it makes me wish we put this much artistry into modern airports. I feel as if folks from the 1920s would think we'd really gone downhill if this was their baseline for travel decor. I love that this space has been transformed into an elegant hotel lobby and that you can work from here, or enjoy a coffee or beer while taking in the impressive ambiance of the space. Something I didn't love was the giant roach I saw scurry by, and also that you aren't allowed to bring in outside food or drink. I do get that they have a kitchen, but it's also the hotel lobby and I tend to think a hotel lobby should function as a gathering place and be a little more welcoming in that way. Just a small note though. It is a gorgeous space.

My wife's cousin held her reception here. They did a nice job setting up the main wedding venue…read morearea and there were perhaps 75 people in attendance. We then went across the street to Slate for the reception. Since it was just a reception here I can't speak to what it is like for a full service event. It is a relatively spartan even space and there aren't a lot of frills. There are high ceilings, good natural lighting from the floor to ceiling windows, and the area is open and airy. It is on the first floor so you get people walking by and starting, but that isn't a major deal. The area leading to the bathrooms/back rooms was kind of exposed and inelegant which is the only reason I'm giving it four stars.

The first time I had no idea what to expect, this time I was helping a friend create fun photos for her dating profile. We had a blast! Jessa was amazing and we lucked out and had the whole place to ourselves. I loved the panel lights, those were not available at the other location. I have no idea if I was using them correctly, but I sure had fun pretending! They also had some really fun props and a fitting room, if you bring extra outfits for your photos which is a fantastic idea. End result, I have a new headshot for my LinkedIn, my friend has photos for her profile and we have a great memory of goofing around for an evening.

I could have gotten a hot breakfast but I was always in a hurry so I got the continental to go: coffee, fruit cup, vanilla yogurt and bagel your style. Your other choices include omelettes, eggs, sausage, potatoes, if you want the hot breakfast. However the hot breakfast does not include fruit, which I always prefer: cut up cantaloupe, pineapple, berries. It was great! I used my $10 food card for an ooey gooey butter cake. Paid $4 with tip since it was $12. Every evening, they serve the best ooey gooey cookies ever! free! Marriott also loaded a $25 gift card to my account that expired soon, so I went next door to the Marriott and spent it on two bottles of water, a seltzer and a fruit cup and paid $4 extra. They sure do charge a lot for water! I heard there is a grocery store Shnucks near by but I didn't have time to visit. The only thing was I stayed several nights but they did not clean the room or even change the towels after the first night. I was too busy and tired to care but hang up your towels!

Every year a partner and I plan a "Back to School" party for our school. The attendance is normally…read morejust shy of 200ppl. This year our party was at 612North. From the very beginning, I knew that with Christina and her attentive team that we would be in great hands. The venue (612North) is housed in the once estate of Henry Shaw (Missouri Botanical Gardens). The look and feel of this venue is very a very on-trend and chic-poured floor, exposed brick sort of gig. The killers are the very tall picture windows on three sides which view is the newly face-lifted Gateway Arch. It was very fun to hear the gasps as people caught the sights and realized they could "almost touch The Arch". 612North Catering: Foodstuffs are created by the talent behind Drunken Fish...yes, their bespoke sushi is available, but also many other flavors and textures that show Drunken Fish and associated companies to be au courant and very formidable in St. Louis party eats. Macaroni and Cheese with shards of bacon, hot sauce or other mix ins. Crispy pillowed pot-stickers dipped in salty-sweet ginger goodness. Most memorable for me was their Flatbread Board. Flatbread pieces topped with varied things creating the perfect finger food. Tops in my book was a mellow Bechamel and Caramelized Onion, Gruyere and Thyme melded perfectly on a tender crust. Items of course can be tailored for your needs and desires. Once the party was humming along there was nothing for me to worry about. A major plus. Working with Christina was a dream. Communication was open and responses immediate. A (patrolled) public parking lot is mere feet from the entrance so attendees need not worry. Coat check included. If you want a fun, hip gathering place, 612North is happening and it's happening in Downtown's Laclede's Landing. There is no doubt we will use again.
