The Shell Building is an office building in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Located at the corner of Locust Street and 13th Street, known as Shell Corner,[3] the 13-story, 48.16m (158.01feet), building was the original home of the Shell Oil Company in the United States. The building has a rounded footprint, following the curve of Locust onto North 13th Street.
After sitting vacant for ten years, it was converted to a dual-branded Hilton hotels property in 2022, housing the Home2 Suites By Hilton St. Louis Downtown and the Tru By Hilton St. Louis Downtown.[4]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
