Hotel and Travel

The Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark

Located in downtown St. Louis, Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark is an urban retreat ideally located downtown next to Busch Stadium and within walking distance to some of the Gateway City's most acclaimed attractions and historic landmarks. Conference activities will take place in the state of the art conference center with meals and breaks overlooking the St. Louis Arch!

The room cost during the conference is $149 per night for single occupancy and $159 per night for double occupancy. A limited number of rooms are available at conference rates before the conference begins and after the conference ends. The special room rate will be available until September 17th or until the group block is sold-out, whichever comes first. Savor the area as you arrive early or stay late. Enjoy all of the conference.

Events like SIGUCCS make a significant room block commitment in order to keep lodging prices affordable and conference hotel availability high for conference attendees. By making your hotel reservations through our reservation site, you help us keep these commitments and ensure that we'll be able to provide affordable room options at future events. Please only use the link below to make your reservation online and receive the discounted rate. If you prefer to contact the hotel directly by phone instead of reserving your room online, you must mention SIGUCCS to receive the discounted rates and be counted in our room block.

Getting to the Hotel from the Airport

Metrolink

MetroLink is the St. Louis metropolitan region's light rail system. MetroLink has 37 stations and stretches 46 miles. It serves several municipalities in St. Louis County, Missouri, St. Clair and Monroe Counties in Illinois, and the City of St. Louis. MetroLink service operates daily. The first train begins service at approximately 4:00 a.m. while the last train completes service at about 12:30 a.m.

You can get on Metrolink from both the Main and East terminals at Lambert airport. Trains leave approximately every 20 minutes on the weekends. You will want to get on the Red line heading Eastbound. The Stadium Station is the station closest to the hotel, however, please note that it would be an additional .35 mile walk to the hotel from the station. A Metrolink one-ride ticket costs $2.75 and the ride to the hotel would be approximately 40 minutes.

You can use Metro's Tripfinder to map your trip from the airport (and also to the airport for your return trip) via Metrolink and get detailed internary information. In the "Destination" textbox, please type in "1 S Broadway" without the quotes.
