The Lennox Hotel is a historic hotel in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The 25-story hotel opened in 1929 and was the tallest hotel in the city upon its opening. Designed by Preston J. Bradshaw in the Renaissance Revival style, the building features terra cotta faces and cornices. The hotel, along with the Hotel Statler and the Mayfair Hotel, was built as part of a commercial boom in downtown St. Louis in the 1920s. It was the last hotel built in the area before the Great Depression, and another hotel did not open in downtown St. Louis until 1963. The Lennox Hotel eventually closed after newer hotels were built in the 1970s.[2] The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 6, 1984.[1] It serves today as the Suites Wing of the Renaissance St. Louis Grand Hotel.
