21C Museum Hotel St Louis
We loved this hotel. It is something you expect in much more sophisticated cities but not St. Louis. Our king bed suite was tastefully furnished and very large. Lots of great touches and very clean. The lobby and museum were stylish and exciting. We ate at both Idolwolf and the cafe. Again great ...

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis at the Arch
Room was spotless. Only problem was the shower pin would not stay up so we had to take baths.

Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch
The first room we got was not the cleanliest and was really rundown. So we called down to the front desk and got a second room, which was much better and you could tell was remodeled in the bathroom. Smelled clean, looked clean unlike first room.
