Why People Love It

  • Unbeatable location for Cardinals games (literally across the street)
  • The Bullock rooftop bar offers prime stadium views
  • Modern, crisp design that feels significantly fresher than other downtown options

Quick Take: It's a high-end sports bar that happens to have very nice bedrooms attached.

Reviewed by @TravelcationClub: I stayed here for a game weekend and the vibe was electric. The sports lounge has this insane TV wall that makes you feel like you're in a luxury suite. Definitely the best spot in St. Louis for sports fans who want a bit of luxury.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Immaculately clean and modern, but you are paying a premium for the baseball proximity.

Reality check

The 'stadium view' rooms are worth the splurge, but the 'city view' rooms just look at parking garages and other buildings.

  • You bleed St. Louis Cardinals red
  • You want a walkable weekend of bars and baseball
  • You appreciate a hotel gym that actually has Pelotons

Cleanliness & Maintenance

9.5
  • Housekeeping: Daily service is standard and thorough. Reviews consistently praise the 'spotless' nature of the rooms.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. Grout is white, glass is streak-free. No mold reports found.
  • Maintenance: Like new. The hotel opened in 2020 and still feels fresh.
  • Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count sheets. Towels are fluffy and plentiful.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby smells of a signature fresh scent (often described as 'expensive'). No stale smoke smells reported.

Before you book

Good to know

  • Residents of the adjacent tower have a pool; you do not.
  • Self-parking ($40) has in/out privileges, which is rare for downtown.
  • The 'resort fee' is often bundled as a 'destination fee'—check your final bill.

What to pack

  • Cardinals gear (you will look out of place without it)
  • Earplugs (just in case the plaza DJ goes late)
  • Walking shoes (Gateway Arch is a 10-minute walk)

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Stadium View King (high floor) for the bucket-list baseball experience
  • Corner Suites for dual-aspect views of the Arch and Stadium

Rooms to avoid

  • 2nd and 3rd floor rooms facing the plaza (closest to the bar noise)
  • City View rooms if you care about the view (it's mostly concrete)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I am staying for a special occasion and would love a room on a high floor (6th or above) facing Busch Stadium to minimize street noise. Please avoid floors 2-3 near the event terrace.”

FAQ & Hidden tips

Everything you actually want to know before you book.

Is there a pool?

No. The infinity pool you see in photos belongs to the One Cardinal Way apartments next door. Hotel guests have no access.

How close is it to Busch Stadium?

It is literally across the street. You could throw a baseball from the front door to the stadium entrance.

Is breakfast included?

No. Breakfast at Clark & Bourbon is à la carte and pricey ($20-30/person). Grab coffee at the River Market in the lobby instead.

Can I hear the game from my room?

Yes, if you have a stadium view room and crack the window. With windows closed, it's a muffled roar.

Is it pet friendly?

Yes, very. 'Loews Loves Pets' program applies. $50 fee per stay, max 2 pets.

What is the parking situation?

Valet is ~$50/night. Self-parking in the Ballpark Village garage is ~$40/night. Both allow in/out privileges.

Insider Tips

  • ✨

    The 'River Market' in the lobby sells local Kaldi's Coffee—much better than the in-room pods.

  • ✨

    Ask for a room ending in '01' or '26' for potential corner views (subject to availability).

  • ✨

    You can walk to the Gateway Arch in under 10 minutes; cut through the park to avoid traffic.

5 things to know before you go
