  Accomodations and Transportation

 

I.   Transportation From the Airport to the Hotel
II.  Transportation in St. Louis
III. Air Transportation

We have blocked a limited number of rooms at the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark – right next door the new Busch Stadium and walking distance from the arch. The drink and dessert reception on Saturday night will be at this hotel.

We have received a discount rate of $139 per night. To reserve, call 1-877-845-7354 and reference the Solomon/Ditzion Wedding or use our online reservations form. Availability is limited, so we highly recommend reserving ASAP to guarantee a room.

There are a range of views from different parts of the hotel. The $139/night rooms in our block will generally have a city view of St. Louis. In addition to our block of $139/night rooms, we have blocked a few additional rooms with views of the arch for $149/night and with views of the ballpark (you can watch Cardinals games from some of these rooms) for $169/night. 

 

Transportation From the Airport to the Hotel:

If you are not renting a car, there are 3 primary ways to get to the hotel from the airport:

- Metrolink System: Cheapest, but least convenient (although still very manageable).  The Hilton is located very near the Stadium stop on the St. Louis light-rail network  – which also runs to and from Lamberth Airport. Round-trip is approximately $7. http://www.metrostlouis.org/.

- TransExpress Shuttle: Intermediate option.  This is a shared-ride shuttle service that runs fairly regularly.  Round-trip is approximately $27. http://www.transexpress-stl.com.

- Taxi: Easiest, but most expensive. Each way is approximately $40.

 

Transportation in St. Louis:

We will have a shuttle from the Hilton to the Chatillon-DeMenil Mansion (the wedding location). There is, however, ample parking at the Mansion.

If you do drive, the hotel has discount parking available for guests. Note that the Cardinals are playing at home over Labor Day weekend, so parking and traffic may be more of a challenge around game time (7:10 p.m. Friday, 6:15 Saturday, 1:15 Sunday, 1:15 Monday).

If you want to rent a car, we have arranged for discounts with two companies (although you may wish to shop around on the Internet to see if there are better rates for these or other companies):

Avis
800-331-1600.
To reserve, use code: AWD - D003737.

 

Hertz

Air Transportation:

We have arranged discounts with several airlines. Check these (and other airlines) to get the best available prices.
