St. Louis Cross Property Impact
At 21c St. Louis, we are dedicated to creating a positive impact in our community.
Each month, we shine a spotlight on a local St. Louis-based nonprofit organization that is actively making a meaningful difference in our community.
April: The Sophia Project
The Sophia Project is a dedicated youth nonprofit organization that centers its mission on the holistic empowerment of young women. Committed to nurturing the potential and resilience of girls, The Sophia Project offers mentorship programs, educational resources, and skill-building opportunities. With a focus on fostering self-esteem, leadership capabilities, and community engagement, the organization seeks to equip young women with the tools they need to navigate challenges and succeed in various aspects of life. By providing a supportive network and encouraging personal development, The Sophia Project strives to inspire confidence and empower a new generation of female leaders who can positively impact their communities and beyond.

Programming
Food & Beverage
At Idol Wolf and Good Press, we take pride in our meticulously crafted food and beverage programming, emphasizing fresh, local ingredients sourced from esteemed partners like Fresh Harvest 365 and Heru Urban Farming. By partnering directly with these local farmers and suppliers, we ensure the highest quality ingredients in our dishes, resulting in exceptional flavors and an abundance of nutrients. This commitment to supporting our local community not only enhances the dining experience but also promotes sustainability and a deeper connection with the food we serve.
We’ve collaborated with Northwest Coffee as our local coffee roaster, bringing you exceptional locally roasted coffee. Partnered with the renowned local tea producer, Big Heart Tea Co., offering a delightful selection of seasonal and year-round hot and iced teas. Additionally, St. Louis Juice Press provides single-service fresh cold-pressed juices and small energy shots for a quick grab-and-go option and a wellness boost. Our goal is to create a vibrant, sustainable dining experience that celebrates our local community’s abundance.
Museum
21c Museum Hotel St. Louis integrates contemporary art into all areas of our property, especially in the more than 14,000 square feet of exhibition space. Art enthusiasts and curious visitors alike are welcome to visit our free exhibitions, which are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our commitment extends beyond accessibility, as we are dedicated to presenting thoughtful exhibitions of art that welcome and resonate with visitors, but also inspire and perhaps challenge them to experience or consider new ideas and perspectives on the world around us. Ongoing Museum programming enriches the experience for guests and visitors, and provides additional opportunities for connecting with artists and artwork, as well as with others.
