Anne, it might be worth contacting the Moonrise Hotel over in the Delmar Loop. Its standard prices are a bit above our usual range, but a group rate, particularly if we schedule early enough to catch the off season, might make it doable. It's certainly Our Kind of Place, both in terms of the hotel itself and the district surrounding it.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
Ooo, vintage stores.
And B.
Oddly enough, Matt, that was EXACTLY where I was thinking about, both in terms of hotel and location. The Metrolink will also make it easy-ish to get to downtown.
I also think that the Buffistas could easily spend an entire day at the City Museum.
Not to mention the bowling & martini lounge.
Not to mention the bowling & martini lounge.
This is so very true.
Plus, there would be a decent chance of something fun being at the Pageant.
KC is sounding better all the time.
It's St. Louis with the City Museum and martini and bowling lounge.
Oops, I thought we were still on KC. Yay for duelling pimpage! They both sound good.
And, for those interested, St. Louis is just a skip from the Gateway Grizzlies ballpark which is home of the Krispy Kreme cheeseburger. Holy Mother of God. So scary sounding and so tasty. And, yes, I did road trip 5 hours (each way) to have one this summer.
Ooh, someone pimp Denver! I need a good excuse to go to Denver.
But I do know Erin is a fab cruise director.
And I dunno if hotels are still as recession-scared as they were last year (I think based on my readings of travel blogs, it's not as bad as it was), but last year the hotels were fighting for us, even though we're pretty small. It was still expensive to be downtown, but much less than their usual rate.
