St. Louis, Mo:Leading hotel development, management and investment firm Midas Hospitality recently celebrated its 15^th anniversary in business.  Midas Hospitality, which was co-founded by J.T. Norville and David Robert, currently owns and manages 43 hotels in 13 states located in the Midwest and Southern states.

In 2020, the company opened its first owned and operated bar – the rooftop UPBAR – at its Element St. Louis Midtown, which is St. Louis’ sole Element by Westin.  Last year Midas Hospitality also made its debut into the restaurant industry.  For the first time in its 17-year history, Wasabi Sushi Bar partnered with Midas Hospitality on its seventh restaurant located in the Cortex tech district.  The new Wasabi restaurant is next to the Midas owned and managed Aloft Hotel by Marriott.
