of Missouri’s Missouri Research Park in Weldon Spring, Missouri. The $8 million hotel features an outdoor pool and patio overlooking the ninth hole of the Missouri Bluffs Golf Club.
The new Wingate by Wyndham Hotel is convenient to the dozens of companies located within the Missouri Research Park and along the I-64/Route 40 high-tech corridor in St. Charles County. The hotel will provide lodging for travelers, out-of town researchers, corporate investors and clients, and will offer meeting space for the companies within the park. Other attractions include easy access to the Katy Trail via the new Missouri Research Park Bike Trail and daytrips to nearby Missouri Wine Country.
The hotel’s all-inclusive pricing includes wired and wireless high-speed Internet access in guest rooms and public spaces, a 24-hour business center, continental breakfast, local calls and long-distance access, an indoor pool, whirlpool and an expanded fitness room. Golf packages at the 18-hole Missouri Bluffs Golf Club are available.
The Missouri Research Park was developed from a vision of a technology corridor and has been the catalyst for high-tech development along the I-64 corridor in St. Charles County. Owned and managed by the University of Missouri, the Missouri Research Park officially opened in 1985. Today, more than 180 acres of land in the park are developed for high-tech and research facilities, and 17 tenant companies and agencies, which employ 2,000 people within the park.
Reservations and information are available by calling (800) 228-1000, by visiting www.wingatehotels.com or by calling the hotel directly at (636) 329-8503. All Wingate by Wyndham hotels are independently owned and operated under franchise agreements with Wingate Inns International, a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: WYN).
The Missouri Research Park is the first business park in the St. Louis region to market exclusively to technology-intensive and research-based companies. The 200-acre research and development park, with more than 1.2 million square feet under roof, has been a catalyst for development along the I-64 high-tech corridor in St. Charles County. Today, 14 companies and three government facilities within the Park employ approximately 2,000 people. The Missouri Research Park is a project of the University of Missouri Office of Economic Development and Research Parks, whose mission is to support Missouri’s economic growth by developing and sustaining research and technology alliances among the University, government agencies and private companies.
