It may be hard to imagine that a one-time hospital laundromat could be turned into an elegant events venue, but that’s exactly what has happened at Palladium Saint Louis in Lafayette Square. The space’s dramatic floating mezzanine and soaring, two-story windows with cityscape views are a long way from its previous incarnation as part of City Hospital.
“Palladium Saint Louis is a modern revitalization of a historic 1937 building, and we’ve pulled out all the stops,” says Richard Nix, president of Butler’s Pantry, the catering company behind the new venue. “The space has a sophisticated ambience and sleek contemporary design. It’s not the usual chandeliers-and-tufted-walls look that you find in most hotel ballrooms, but it doesn’t seem like a bar or disco, either. It’s elegant and unique.”
The venue officially opens Saturday, Nov. 7, appropriately with a benefit gala celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Landmarks Association of St. Louis.
