Top Downtown St. Louis Hotel Reviews

Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark

8/10 Good

"the closeness to the ballfield"

Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch

10/10 Excellent

"Location, staff, and room were all fantastic. We were surprised at the quiet of the hallways and room. We would totally stay again! Other travelers should know that you are required to use Valet parking on Friday and Saturday nights, something that isn't immediately clear until you get further information from the hotel. Valet staff were great! Bathroom had a few signs of aging - peeling wall paper in a corner and the shower door leaked a lot. Additionally, the shower had no handle or grab bar, which is particularly tricky as there was a step in/out and the shower floor was slippery."

Magnolia Hotel St. Louis, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful experience at The Magnolia! Every staff member we interacted with from the minute we walked in was extremely friendly and courteous, and they really made you feel welcome. The location is great, the hotel is extremely clean and taken care of, and"
