Whatever your interest, from sports to music, you can indulge in it when you stay in the St. Louis metropolitan area. If you're looking for a conference center, St. Louis proper is not the only place to look. If a downtown conference center isn't quite what you're looking for, consider the Gateway Conference Center in nearby Collinsville, Illinois, just a few short minutes away. A short drive out of the hustle and bustle of downtown may be just the thing you need, while still able to enjoy all of what downtown has to offer.
What makes Gateway Conference Center a great choice? Collinsville combines accessibility to all St. Louis' urban charms with some appealing and distinctive small town touches. At only eleven miles outside the city limits of St. Louis, Collinsville is considered part of the greater St. Louis metropolitan area. Residents in both states refer to the suburbs east of St. Louis as the Metro East since it is in Illinois rather than Missouri.
Unbeknownst to most, Collinsville is the "Horseradish Capital of the United States". Growers in Collinsville harvest nearly 96% of the nations' horseradish crop, so to celebrate we plan an annual "Horseradish Festival" in the root's honor. You might think that's enough condiments for one city, but Collinsville is also home to the "World's Largest Catsup Bottle"! Small town charm, like this, so close to big city culture is a winning combination every time.
