Convention Hotels

Four world class hotels have been selected for the Convention and Train Show. These hotels, in the heart of downtown St. Louis, will provide the optimum accommodations and value for the attendees' dollar. The majority of hotel rooms are in the main convention hotel, the Millennium (was named the Regal). The overflow hotels are located close by: the Adam's Mark is only 3 blocks north and the Mariott Pavillion is only two blocks west. The Holiday Inn Select is across the street from the America's Center and provides the ultimate in convenience for the Train Show vendors. NMRA Convention Shuttle Buses will run between these three hotels during the convention.

Hotel reservations are made through the NMRA Housing Bureau with the Housing Bureau form by mail or by fax. You can download and print the Housing Bureau Hotel Registration form from our download page. The special Housing Bureau Convention rate is for those who have registered for the Convention.

(Regal) Millennium Riverfront (main convention hotel)

The majority of the rooms in the Millennium (was named the Regal) have spectacular views of the Riverfront, Arch, Old Cathedral and the abundant trains transversing the elevated trackage and wye, the numerous rail bridges over the Mississippi, and the rail yards to the south. The hotel has three restaurants and two lounges to fit every budget. To relax, the hotel has two pools, a sauna, whirlpool, and fitness center. This will be the premier location for the convention attendee as all of the meetings, clinics, and contests will take place here and all of the tours will depart from the special bus lane adjacent to the activity space. It is two blocks east of Busch Stadium and the Busch Stadium Metrolink (light rail) station. Parking garage height (Stadium East parking garage) is 6' 8".

Adam's Mark Hotel

The Adam's Mark has been recognized as one of Downtown St. Louis' premier, full service hotels. It is within easy walking distance of the main convention hotel (the Regal Riverfront) as well as all of Downtown's attractions (such as the Riverfront, the Gateway Arch, and Busch Stadium). The rooftop swimming pool overlooks the Riverfront, the Arch and the Mississippi. Parking garage height is 6' 5".

Marriott Pavillion Hotel

The Marriott Pavillion Hotel is located two blocks west of the Regal and is next door to Busch Stadium. This hotel was recently added due to unusually high demand at the original three convention hotels. More info will be placed here in the near future. The Housing Bureau will offer this site as a preferred site by request or if the other three hotels cannot accommodate a given room type request.

Room rates at the Marriott are:
Single/double: $106/night, triple/quad: $138/night, rollaway: $20/night, parking: $7/day or $12/day for valet.

Holiday Inn Select at the Convention Center

This hotel will serve as the preferred choice for vendors. They will only need to cross a street to get to their train show tables in the morning and to return to their rooms in the evening after a long, profitable day. These rooms will provide the comforts of home and the close access prized by vendors. It is close to the Convention (America's) Center Metrolink (light rail) station. Parking garage height is 6' 6".
