Hotel Chronicles: Hyatt Regency St. Louis at the Arch

2013 is a year of change, apparently. With a new job, new place and one giant handful of random life reworks, it seems like as good a time as any to consciously introduce even more newness to this already exciting year. That said, welcome to my first ever Hotel Chronicles post. Staycations, vacations, work trips and conferences are booked. Flights have been purchased. Rooms reserved. Faraway friends notified. I hope you'll follow along.

To kick it off, Patrick and I stayed at Hyatt Regency Saint Louis at the Arch for his 30th birthday on January 8th. We made quite a week out of it and topped off the weekend with dinner at Mike Shannon's, drinks at BB's Blues Jazz & Soups and breakfast in bed back at the hotel. Having recently had a less than pleasant experience at a famous Saint Louis hotel on New Year's Eve, Hyatt was another welcome change.
