"Such a cool and trendy boutique hotel with all the amenities. Beautiful building. Paid parking around d the corner. 20 minutes walk to the Gateway Arch. So nice to get back to the hotel in the evening, have a few drinks at the bar and finish the evening with a visit to the pool area with hot tub, sauna, and steam room as well as the lap pool. Staff were incredible, so friendly and knowledgeable. Kristos and all the other bartenders were super friendly and made us some great cocktails.
