Top-rated hotels in St. Louis
A shortlist of the top-rated hotels in St. Louis, drawn from 4- and 5-star properties across downtown, the Central West End, Clayton and the Delmar Loop. It is for travellers who want a high guest rating and a clear sense of which part of the city each hotel sits in.
Staying in St. Louis
St. Louis spreads across a compact downtown and a ring of distinct neighbourhoods. The Gateway Arch, Busch Stadium and America's Center sit together downtown, while Forest Park holds the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Saint Louis Zoo, and the historic Soulard district, the Fabulous Fox Theatre and the Anheuser-Busch Brewery fill out the rest. Hotels here are spread widely: several addresses place them downtown, along Chestnut Street, Washington Avenue, Olive Street, Spruce Street, Clark Avenue, North Second Street and North 7th and 8th Streets, while Carondelet Plaza and North Kingshighway put others in the Central West End, Bonhomme Avenue sits in Clayton, and Delmar Boulevard is out in the Delmar Loop. River City Casino sits furthest out, 11.1 km from the centre, and The Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza is closest at 2.1 km.
The mix suits different trips. Couples and short-break visitors tend to gravitate to the Central West End and downtown addresses, where the hotels are large and the sights are close. Families are served by properties with family rooms and pools, and business travellers have a strong cluster of downtown hotels near the convention complex, plus Clayton for a quieter base.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
St. Louis is served by St. Louis Lambert International Airport, about 14 miles northwest of downtown, and the MetroLink light rail connects the airport to downtown and other parts of the region. Amtrak's Missouri River Runner and Texas Eagle stop at the Gateway Transportation Center downtown. By car, I-70, I-44 and I-55 converge in the city. Once there, MetroLink and MetroBus cover many popular areas, including downtown, Clayton and the airport, while many downtown attractions are walkable. Taxis, ride-hailing and rental cars are also available, and several hotels on this list offer parking or a garage.
When to go
Spring, from April to May, and fall, from September to October, bring mild temperatures and are ideal for outdoor activities and festivals, while summers are hot and humid and winters cold with occasional snow. The Cardinals' baseball season runs from April to October and the Saint Louis Art Fair falls in September, so if your trip coincides with them it is worth booking accommodations early.
