Arriving in STL:
When you arrive, take a taxi from the airport to the main entrance (Ridgway Center) of MOBOT:
4344 Shaw Blvd.

You will pick up your badge & room keys from the security desk inside Ridgway. It is staffed 24x7. Use the call box on the West Wall if doors are locked. If you arrive at night the security guard on duty will drive you over to Trelease House (described below).
Departing from STL:
St. Louis International Airport (STL) is outside the city. When you're planning your departing flight, remember that MOBOT is about 30 minutes from STL airport, so you have to be on the way to the airport NO LATER than 2 hours before your flight.
Includes housing, meeting rooms, and local dining options

St. Louis, MO 63110
