21c Museum Hotel St. Louis

Did not stay overnight at this beautiful boutique hotel, we had lunch at the Idol Wolf and viewed the art gallery on the second floor. This historic building was originally a YMCA which 21c has repurposed as a artsy boutique hotel right next door to the historic Campbell House. We enjoyed wine and beer. Then we had a great Spanish Caesar Salad and a cheeseburger with fries. Fries were fabulous, burger was okay-bun was soggy on the bottom. Server was most solicitous, checking on us several times. You’re able to carry your drinks up to the second floor to the art gallery. The exhibits change yearly. The stairs up to the second floor are incredible; bold pattern of flowers and animals on both the carpeting and wallpaper. They were commissioned to match. And the sconces are also animal themed. Quite impressive staircase and multiple people taking photos on the stairs. There are multiple small galleries upstairs with a variety of art styles from tapestries to photos to paintings. The gymnasium from the YMCA has been turned into a lovely event space with art lining the walls and refurbished gym flooring.

Ms. V is a phenomenal front desk attendant. She’s very attentive as she assisted me with a reservation at the last minute! Her calming and attentive manner is what is needed in her position and she possesses both! The hotel is beautiful and Ms. V made my stay a very pleasant and welcoming one. Thank you for knowing how to select great and welcoming front desk staff like Ms. V.

Vanecia at the front desk provided an exceptional experience with her kind- hearted spirit and unreasonable hospitality efforts to ensure my spouse and I had great time during our stay here at the 21c museum hotel.

I would have rated higher if the Spa did not mess up my b-day and desired spa appointment after I confirmed in person 3 days before WITH the rep, who took down my information-room no., email and cell phone on an 8.5X11 sheet that looked like an intake form. Never received any communication so I went down after in-house breakfast to sanity check. I was informed via supervisor, Ms. C that no appointment were even available that whole morning until early/late evening and that she never saw the form. Needless to say it was a terrible start to what I had planned to be a good birthday day and night. Also the shrimp dish at the bar was so salty and requested to make it less. It just can back watery and less tasteful. Otherwise the hotel was nicely done and the best, where the valet staff.

What a great stay we had at Museum 21C this past weekend. We were in St. Louis for a soccer tourney, but wanted to skip the bland Hilton/Marriot/etc... in St. Charles and get a hotel stay downtown with some flair! This was the exact answer! Great rooms - wonderful staff - amazing food in both the Good Press and Idol Wolf (thanks Mick for the great recommends on the Hanger Steak and Spice-Rubbed Chicken!)... I cannot say enough good things! We had a 2 queen room and it was large and well appointed. Beds were comfortable (A+ for the firm pillows!) and the bathroom was amazing. While we didn't use the pool or the spa / sauna - a few people talked about how cool it all was! I am a little sad we didn't make our way down there - but we will next time!
