BENTONVILLE Site work has started on an independent hotel in downtown Bentonville that will include an event space, restaurant, bar, cafe, two retail spaces and 142 rooms and a little something extra for bicyclers.
Beer, baseball, barbecue and the St. Louis Blues have drawn visitors to the Missouri city for years, making it known for more than St. Louis’ 630-foot Gateway Arch, the tallest national monument in the U.S. And as St. Louis rises in popularity, the city has made room to welcome even more guests to the area, adding 450 new hotel rooms in 2022 alone. “That’s an addition to the 2,095 rooms that we put online since January of 2020,” said Brian Hall, chief marketing officer for Explore St. Louis.
