Garret Augustus Hobart was the 24th vice president of the United States, serving from 1897 until his death. He was the sixth American vice president to die in office. Hobart was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, on the Jersey Shore, grew up in nearby Marlboro. After attending Rutgers College, Hobart read law with prominent Paterson attorney Socrates Tuttle; the two studied together, Hobart married Tuttle's daughter Jennie. Although he set foot in a courtroom, Hobart became wealthy as a corporate lawyer. Hobart served in local governmental positions, successfully ran for office as a Republican, serving in both the New Jersey General Assembly and the New Jersey Senate, he became Speaker of the first, president of the latter. Hobart was a longtime party official, New Jersey delegates went to the 1896 Republican National Convention determined to nominate the popular lawyer for vice president. Hobart's political views were similar to those of McKinley, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate.

With New Jersey, a key state in the upcoming election, McKinley and his close adviser, future senator Mark Hanna, decided to have the convention select Hobart. The vice-presidential candidate emulated his running mate with a front porch campaign, though spending much time at the campaign's New York City office. McKinley and Hobart were elected; as vice president, Hobart was a close adviser to McKinley. Hobart's tact and good humor were valuable to the President, as in mid-1899 when Secretary of War Russell Alger failed to understand that McKinley wanted him to leave office. Hobart invited Alger to his New Jersey summer home and broke the news to the secretary, who submitted his resignation to McKinley on his return to Washington. Hobart died on November 21, 1899 of heart disease at age 55. Garret Augustus Hobart was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, to Addison Willard Hobart and the former Sophia Vanderveer. Addison Hobart descended from the early colonial settlers of New England. Addison Hobart came to New Jersey to teach at a school in Bradevelt, New Jersey a small hamlet in Marlboro Township, NJ.

His mother was descended from 17th-century Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam who had moved to Long Island and to New Jersey. When Addison and Sophia Hobart married in 1841, they moved to Long Branch, where Addison founded an elementary school. Garret was born in Long Branch on June 3, 1844. Three children survived infancy. Garret attended his father's school in Long Branch; the Hobart family moved to Marlboro in the early 1850s. Childhood tales of the future vice president describe him as an excellent student in both day and Sunday School, a leader in boyhood sports. Recognizing Garret's abilities, his father sent him to a well-regarded school in Freehold, but after a disagreement with the teacher, the boy refused to return, he boarded there during the week. He graduated from the academy in 1859 at age 15, but being thought by his parents too young to go to college, remained home for a year studying and working part-time. During this time, he was a school teacher in the Bradvelt School, the same school as his father's employment.

Garret Hobart enrolled in Rutgers College, from which he graduated in 1863 at age 19, finishing third in his class. He received his diploma from Theodore Frelinghuysen, New Jersey's first major-party vice-presidential candidate, who had run unsuccessfully with Henry Clay in 1844. In life, Hobart was a generous donor to Rutgers, received an honorary degree after becoming vice president, shortly before his death was elected a trustee. After graduation from Rutgers, Hobart worked as a teacher to repay loans. Although Hobart was young and in good health, he did not serve in the Union Army. Addison Hobart's childhood friend, lawyer Socrates Tuttle, offered to take Garret into his office to read law. Tuttle was a prominent Passaic County lawyer. Hobart supported himself during his time of study in Paterson by working as a bank clerk. Hobart was admitted to the bar as an attorney in 1866. In addition to learning law from Tuttle, Hobart fell in love with his daughter. Jennie Tuttle Hobart remembered, "When this attractive young law student appeared in our home I a young girl in my teens, unexpectedly played a rôle of importance by losing my heart to him".

The two were married on July 21, 1869. The Hobarts had long been Democrats; the couple had four children. One daughter, died in 1895. Socrates Tuttle was influential in Paterson. According to Michael J. Connolly in his 2010 article about Hobart, the future vice president "benefitted from Tuttle's beneficence". In 1866, the year he became a lawyer, Hobart was appointed grand jury clerk for Passaic County; when Tuttle became mayor of Paterson in 1871, he made Hobart city counsel. A year Hobart became counsel for the county Board of Chosen Freeholders. In 1872, Hobart ran as a Republican for the New Jersey General Assembly from Passaic County's third legislative district, he was elected, taking nearly two-thirds of the vote

The Hotel Majestic St. Louis in St. Louis, United States is a restored 91-room historic hotel built in 1913–1914, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The Majestic Hotel has 72,000 square feet of space, nine stories and 109 feet tall at its maximum height, is based on a steel frame, it has brick curtain walls and concrete floors. The hotel was designed as a tri-part structure, including a base and capital, is divided by the use of white terracotta.

First opened near the end of September, 1914, the hotel is one of St. Louis' few hotels which date from before World War I; the building's Renaissance Revival design is an example of common styles in St. Louis architecture in the 1920s; the hotel was built to serve middle-class guests, but it had advanced fireproofing, two restaurants, a rathskeller. In 1913, construction for the hotel began; the hotel cost about $250,000 to build.

However, it is unclear. Plans for the hotel give credit to Harry F. Roach, while building permits list the architect as Albert B. Groves. Both men were well-known St. Louis architects who had each designed various other hotels, but were never in partnership; the Majestic Hotel was renamed the DeSoto Hotel and still served guests until 1979, when it was announced that the building would be replaced with a parking garage due to the high cost needed to restore the building so it could meet more recent building codes. However, the hotel was given to new owners, they planned to renovate the building for office space. However, a joint venture by Eugene Wolff, Dick Deutsch, Southwestern Bell, called Majestic Associates, used $7 million to restore the building into a luxury hotel, called the Hotel Majestic. Southwestern Bell spent $15 million in 1987 to renovate the building. In 1996, the hotel was sold for $4.3 million to Bray & Gillespie LLC, which operated it under Crowne Plaza. In 1997, Omni Hotels acquired the hotel from Crowne Plaza.

In 2016, Omni Hotels & Resorts sold the Omni Majestic to Hawkeye Hotels, based out of Iowa. Hawkeye has been conducting a major renovation of the hotel throughout 2019 and will debut Marriott's Le Méridien brand in St. Louis upon completion in May 2020
