First-phase construction for The Private Residences recently moved from structural to finishing. It’s been exciting to see the homes take shape before our eyes. Our first residents move in later this month and we’re sure they’re even more thrilled.
Check out some of the progress made on floor nine!
At 9 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays during pool season, Santé members, future residents and hotel guests have the opportunity to squeeze in a quick, 45-minute workout in one of St. Louis’ most famed swimming pools. “Aqua Fit” is a complete water workout held in The Chase Park Plaza pool. Participants work to tone muscles, increase cardiovascular fitness and improve flexibility with swimming, treading water and shallow water aerobics.
Current participants say the class is well-rounded and exhausting (in a good way!).
Class members can meet at the pool, or may enter through Santé and use the stairs to the pool deck – no sign-up is necessary.
Enjoy the sights and sounds of the evening with yoga on the Starlight Balcony. During the month of July, beginning at 8:30 p.m., Santé at The Chase Park Plaza offers a unique relaxation experience where participants of all skill levels can get out of the confines of a gym and practice yoga in a natural setting. The class leads participants through a relaxing flow of yoga poses while providing dusk views and sounds of Forest Park and midtown St. Louis. The class ends with meditation that allows the day’s stresses to melt away. Following the class, participants are invited to visit with each other over cucumber, lemon and lime water.
Signing up is appreciated but not necessary for Santé members (and future residents) or hotel guests. The class convenes at Santé, where instructor Callie Sears provides participants with yoga mats and any other class necessities. For more information, visit www.santechase.com.
Omega 3s, poly-saturated, mono-saturated, saturated, hydrogenated … there are so many types of fats!
In line with its goal of providing fitness, wellness and balance, Santé at The Chase Park Plaza will welcome nutrition expert Aviva Solomon, a certified holistic health counselor, Wednesday, July 16, to speak on “The Skinny on Fats.” This free workshop is designed for those interested in learning the truth about types of fats to avoid and the foods that supply bodies with the healthy fats they need. Light refreshments will be served.
The seminar will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the Mind and Body Studio of Santé. Prospective and future residents are welcome to join Santé members, Chase Park Plaza hotel guests and Santé personal trainers and instructors for this eye-opening seminar.
For more information, or to RSVP, please call 314-633-3020.
CWE Hospitality Services, LLC, the management company owned and run by the owners of The Chase Park Plaza, has landed its first long-term management deal outside of St. Louis. Led by President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Smith and Executive Vice President Marcia Smith Niedringhaus, CWE officially began management of the 56-room The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera in Edwards, Colo. on June 1.
The Colorado resort is owned by a real estate investment program of Dallas-based Behringer Harvard –which also holds a majority interest in The Chase Park Plaza — and offers similar amenities to the Chase, including a spa, luxury rental units and fitness center. The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera is often described as “an intimate hideaway combining casual elegance with rustic Rocky Mountain splendor.” Set high atop a privately owned mountain, this AAA Four-Diamond Award-winning chateau-style lodge offers guests a complete resort experience.
“The owners of The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera desire to create a culture that’s similar to the one that we have at the Chase,” Smith said. “It is a culture where the guest comes first and all needs are met to the fullest. With everything from the finest turndown service to impeccably manicured walks, guests who book a stay at a property managed by CWE Hospitality Services should expect nothing short of the best.”
Like The Chase Park Plaza’s Private Residences, The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera will soon feature the Paramonte Private Residences. Paramonte residents will have access to all lodge and spa amenities, just as The Private Residences’ owners have access to all of the amenities of The Chase Park Plaza.
The pool at The Chase Park Plaza was recently featured in Forbes Magazine’s ForbesLife Executive Woman online feature. The piece provided a brief survey of some of the finest fresh-air swimming pools for professionals to visit during business trips. About the pool at The Chase, the piece said:
For decades, this ’20s-era hotel was St. Louis’s place to swing, the magnet for big bands and bigwigs, presidents and princes. Newly remodeled, the Chase still harks back to its glory days. The pool is splendidly set in a Romanesque Revival–style courtyard, and you can envision that proud day in 1956 when a bevy of Miss America contestants strutted their stuff here. Times (and bathing suits) have changed, but the pool retains its mellow charm, with flower-filled planters and the chance to dine alfresco. And it’s heated, so the swim season spans spring through autumn, with early-morning exercise classes.
Residents of The Private Residences have complementary access to the pool at The Chase.
On Friday, May 30, Lisa R. Brown of the St. Louis Business Journal broke the news that the developers of The Chase Park Plaza are expanding their hospitality services, known as CWE Hospitality Services, LLC, beyond St. Louis. In landing its first out-of-town deal, the management of the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera in Edwards, Colo., CWE Hospitality Services, LLC solidifies its position as a nationally-recognized hospitality provider.
According to the article, CWE Hospitality Services, LLC was selected for its experience managing The Chase Park Plaza, which offers many of the same amenities as Lodge & Spa at Cordillera.

On Wednesday, April 30, future residents were treated to a delightful evening on the ever-popular Café Eau Patio. Attendees were able to enjoy the company of their future neighbors while sampling new menu offerings and cocktails served by one of The Chase Park Plaza’s bartenders.

The development team of The Chase Park Plaza recently welcomed Cristina Rosi to serve as the director of leasing for the hotel’s redeveloped Executive Suites.
Rosi brings nearly a decade’s worth of experience in the corporate housing market. She previously served as The Chase Park Plaza’s corporate apartments leasing manager, until the units were closed in late 2006 for the creation of the new Executive Suites. For the past two years, she continued her work in corporate housing with Conrad Properties. The Executive Suites are scheduled to open in May.
“Rosi’s relationships with our regular extended guests, familiarity with the building and known commitment to the hotel’s standards of service made her the natural choice for the position,” said Marcia Smith Niedringhaus, developer of The Chase Park Plaza. “We’re delighted to welcome her back as we begin to receive new and past guests to the Executive Suites.”
There are 51 Executive Suites on floors six through eight of The Park Plaza Tower. Lease terms for the suites start with a minimum 30-day agreement. Each unit is fully furnished, with deluxe housewares, weekly housekeeping service, complimentary use of the new Santé fitness and wellness center, a completely renovated interior and more. One-bedroom floor plans range from 500 sq. ft. to more than 1,000 sq. ft. For more information, contact Rosi at 314.633.1002.
“The restoration of The Park Plaza Tower opens a new chapter in the building’s storied history. There are new hotel rooms, the Executive Suites and The Private Residences,” said Smith Niedringhaus. “The first units of The Private Residences are nearing completion for this summer. We’re eager to open the doors soon for both our residents and Executive Suites’ guests as well.”
