About Innkeeper Hospitality Services
An innkeeper is the person who keeps the house. They open the door, know the guests, fix what breaks and make sure the place is still standing, and still welcoming, years from now. That is the whole job of Innkeeper Hospitality Services.

Passion, Purpose and Humility
Established in 2004, Innkeeper Hospitality Services (IHS) is an independently and minority owned lodging and hospitality management company based in St. Louis. IHS operates as a division of Restoration St. Louis, the developer that restores the buildings, and the two companies share the same owners and leadership.
Today IHS manages seven landmark hotels: five fully renovated and open in Missouri and Iowa (Hotel Saint Louis, Seven Gables Inn, Hotel Blackhawk, The Current Iowa and The Warrior Hotel) and two in development in Florida (Gulfstream Hotel and The Walesbilt Hotel). The portfolio also includes 11 restaurants and bars and residential floors in several of the same buildings. Through development programs and partnerships with city based and minority owned businesses, IHS works to care for these neighborhoods from rebirth to sustainability.
Passion
We care about these hotels like they are our own, because in many ways they are.
Owners and leaders who know the buildings by name. Teams that take pride in the details guests notice and the ones they never will.
Purpose
Every hotel we run should leave its neighborhood better than it found it.
Restoring historic buildings instead of replacing them. Sourcing locally. Partnering with city based and minority owned businesses.
Humility
The hotel is the star. IHS works behind it.
Hotel teams wear their own hotel's brand. We give the credit to the people on property and the guests who come back.
[ Our mission ]To run every hotel in our care as if we built it ourselves, protecting landmark buildings, supporting the people who work in them and giving every guest and neighbor a reason to come back.
Owner level care, proven since 2004.
The buildings get the attention. IHS is the reason they work every day: the hiring, the payroll, the accounting, the revenue strategy, the training and the people who keep each hotel feeling like itself.
Innkeeper Hospitality Services has co-managed, with Restoration St. Louis, millions of dollars in renovations, development, repositioning for owners and offer the following services:

Sustainability Statement
The Sustainability efforts support the environmentally responsible features in our properties. These added value features are specifically designed to reduce the carbon footprint with eco-friendly alternatives and can include anything from switching to renewable energy sources, localizing supply chains, developing energy-efficient technologies, eliminating food waste, and reducing plastic usage, to name a few.
Innkeeper Hospitality Services, LLC., which has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the revitalization of architecturally significant buildings, neighborhoods, and communities throughout the country, manages Hotel Saint Louis and The Seven Gables Inn in St. Louis, The Hotel Blackhawk and The Current-Iowa, the No. 1 and No. 2 hotels in Davenport, as well as The Warrior Hotel in Sioux City, Iowa.
Specifically, in terms of Hotel Saint Louis and The Warrior, these Clean Energy features include new high energy VRV/VRF HVAC technology that reduces energy usage by more than 30%, highly insulated windows and store fronts, low flow bidet toilets that reduce water and bulk waste, LED lighting, compost stations, and insulation of all exterior walls, sustainable hotel gardens, as well as specialized filters systems. In an effort to reduce plastic waste, guests are provided metal water bottles upon check-in and water refill stations are located throughout the properties. We also actively source local suppliers for example our chicken and beef come from within 40 miles of the property. In the year before the Pandemic, we sourced over 5 million in goods and services for Hotel Saint Louis.
Additional sustainable improvements to The Current Hotel and The Warrior, both properties, feature a rooftop solar panel system and an innovative hybrid Geothermal/VRF mechanical system, respectively.
Properties undergoing Clean Energy improvements during development and renovation are assessed higher real estate taxes by the cities in which the hotels are located to cover the added sustainability expenses of which we are proud to be a part of and support in efforts to make the properties sustainable, as they grow and provide the communities with a place to work, live and play.
Please meet our leadership team.

The old saying “Behind every great man there’s an even greater woman” doesn’t accurately apply to the CEO of Restoration St. Louis’ wife and high-power teammate Amy Gill. We’d rather say, “Beside every great man there’s an equally great woman.” Amy, a graduate of the University of Kentucky in Political Science, has served as full-partner and hands-on manager for every development project undertaken with husband Amrit since their first in 1990. Amy personally supervises construction and the architectural and design details for their residential and commercial properties by working closely with architects and contractors on current projects. Gregarious by nature, Amy is a natural when it comes to navigating public, political, and press spheres.

In 1988, he came to Washington University in St. Louis to pursue a Master of Business Administration degree.

It was during this time, he met the then Amy Harris who was to become his wife and business partner. During his career, Amrit has earned a reputation as a vanguard of urban renewal while compiling an impressive roster of redevelopment projects throughout metropolitan St. Louis and Davenport, IA.
