Bottom Line

This historic hotel in downtown St. Louis, built in 1913, is traditionally elegant, with decor that incorporates original Italian marble and mahogany wood. It has 91 spacious rooms and suites. Rooms have classic (if slightly bland decor) and come with bathrobes, coffeemakers, and iPod docks. The on-site restaurant and bar serves basic American pub fare, and the location is central to many restaurants and top sights in the area; guests can walk or take advantage of the free shuttle for stops within a three-mile radius. Meeting rooms, free newspapers, and a small fitness center appeal to regular business guests, but there are daily fees for valet parking and Wi-Fi.

The Hotel Majestic St. Louis

Scene

A quiet boutique hotel with a touch of old-world appeal

The Hotel Majestic in St. Louis has remained true to the building's storied past. This is first apparent upon arrival when guests get a glimpse of the elegant facade.

There are a few parking spots in front of the entrance, but it is easiest to use valet parking (with in and out privileges) or to self-park at one of the nearby lots (the doorman can provide directions). Porter service is available.

The antique front desk offers sit-down service rather than a traditional check-in. Two brass elevators playing Jazz music transport guests to their rooms.

The lobby is decorated with plush seating areas, Persian rugs, and a baby grand piano. Business travelers are found having meetings here or in the attached Mahogany Grille -- a popular place for nightly happy hours, often frequented by locals who work nearby. The hotel receives a steady flow of clientele from nearby corporations (an AT&T branch is across the street).

Location

A downtown location walking distance to Busch Stadium and the Arch

The Hotel Majestic is in the heart of downtown and offers easy access to corporate offices and tourist attractions in the area. The St. Louis Arch, Busch Stadium, Citygarden, and Laclede's Landing are all within a short drive. Union Station -- once the world's largest train station and now home to dozens of shops and eateries -- can be reached by foot.

St. Louis is a thriving Midwestern city, perhaps best known for the Gateway Arch -- the Gateway to the West. St. Louis has plenty of historic character, which can be experienced by visiting the city's distinct neighborhoods. These areas are quite spread out, and most people will find they need a car while visiting. However, the hotel does offer a free shuttle service for drop-offs within a three-mile radius.

  • 13-minute walk to Union Station
  • 6-minute drive or 18-minute walk to Laclede's Landing
  • 7-minute drive or 17-minute walk to the Gateway Arch
  • 9-minute drive to Fox Theatre
  • 9-minute drive to Anheuser Busch Brewery
  • 10-minute drive to the St. Louis Contemporary Art Museum
  • 10-minute drive to the St. Louis Science Center
  • 13-minute drive to Forest Park (home of the St. Louis Zoo, amphitheatre, museums, and activities)
  • 15-minute drive Washington University campus
  • 17-minute drive to downtown Clayton
  • 21-minute drive to Lambert St. Louis International Airport
  • 31-minute drive to Chesterfield

Small fitness center with cardio machines but no weights

Located on the lower level of the hotel is a small fitness center, available free for guests.

Towels, a scale, and cold water infused with lemon are provided.

Portable treadmills are available in rooms upon request. The front desk can also provide a Fit Kit, along with jogging and walking paths in the area.

All-Inclusive / Food

Casual pub fare on-site, and gourmet options in the vicinity

The casual Mahogany Grille, located next to the lobby, serves an American-style menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As its name suggests, the entire space is decorated with beautiful dark wood, as well as hand-painted murals. Look closely for historic touches, such as the large built-in clock on the corner of the bar. During the day, street-side windows bring in natural light and the restaurant caters to a business crowd. At night, the ambiance becomes a bit cozier with low lighting. Room service is also available.

The restaurant scene in downtown St. Louis has grown steadily over the decades and hotel staff can offer recommendations. A steakhouse, a French bistro, and Asian, pasta, and seafood restaurants are within walking distance of the hotel.

Drinks

A classic selection available on-site, and more bars in the area

This boutique hotel offers one bar -- belonging to the restaurant -- serving a range of beer, wine, and cocktails, as well as non-alcoholic drinks. Guests can pull up a stool along the long mahogany wood bar, or plunk down at one of the wood tables overlooking the street. Due to its location close to downtown businesses, it receives a good crowd during the week for happy hour specials. Guests may also order drinks through room service.

The surrounding area offers more bars and nightlife, which can be recommended by the concierge. For instance, Laclede's Landing, which is close to the hotel, has a number of options for drinks, live music, and dancing.
