About Lumière Place
The $507 million Lumière Place sits just north of the city’s famed Gateway Arch, and is also adjacent to St. Louis’ Central Business District, the America’s Center convention center and the Edward Jones Dome, resting at the nexus of four Interstate highways and the MetroLink light rail system.
Lumière, which means “light” in French, reflects both the city’s French heritage and the dramatic presence Lumière Place’s 24-story luxury hotel tower will have along the St. Louis riverfront. The tower will be illuminated at night with a striking arc of light, creating a new icon on the downtown skyline. Lumière Place will offer a 75,000-square-foot casino with 2,000 slot machines, more than 45 table games, a dedicated poker room, seven restaurants and retail shops, a 200-guestroom Four Seasons Hotel with a 10,000-square-foot spa and business center, and an all-suite hotel with nearly 300 guestrooms.
Construction began on Lumière Place in September 2005.
