Get a Bird’s Eye View from the Gateway Arch Next Door
Check out the National Monument Gateway Arch right next door to the hotel!
Take a tram ride to the top of this gleaming, 630-foot monument. After you squeeze into a futuristic, five-person pod, it takes four minutes to ascend. At the top, small windows reveal spectacular views of the Old Courthouse, downtown St. Louis and beyond to the west and the Mississippi River and Illinois to the east. Tickets often sell out, so reserve your spots ahead of time. Back on the ground, explore the on-site museum, which traces more than 200 years of our region’s history in six themed exhibit areas. Visitors to Gateway Arch National Park can also board a 19th-century riverboat replica for a narrated cruise down the Mighty Mississippi.
More Things To Do Within Walking Distance
From emblematic eats to live music and unique neighborhoods to day trips, we’ve got expert advice on how to make the most of your time in the Gateway City.
For Baseball Fanatics
Visit the Cardinals Hall of Fame & Museum! As the official home for St. Louis Cardinals legends, the Cardinals Hall of Fame & Museum is already considered a "must-see" attraction. Created to honor the players and personalities who have impacted the franchise, the museum features stadiums, players, championship moments and one of the world's largest team-specific collections of artifacts and memorabilia.
Ballpark Village brings together premier dining, sports, entertainment, and nightlife in downtown St. Louis. Enjoy live performances, events, and exciting venues in a dynamic space perfect for locals and visitors alike.
Visit Laclede's Landing
Home to 17 historic buildings and seven restaurants, the nine blocks of Laclede’s Landing provide plenty to explore in the heart of downtown St. Louis. Whether you’re a local coming down for a day trip or you’re passing through for the week, we guarantee you’ll find a way to have a good time on the Landing.
Old Courthouse
The Old Courthouse was the site of the first two trials of the pivotal Dred Scott case in 1847 and 1850. It was also where Virginia Minor's case for a woman's right to vote came to trial in the 1870s.
You may tour this historic structure, exploring the four new museum galleries that opened May 2025 and the restored historic courtrooms.
St. Louis' Old Courthouse is listed in the National Park Service's National Underground Railroad Network To Freedom.
National Blues Museum
Venture to the National Blues Museum: a 45-minute self-guided journey into the soul of the Blues—where every corner turned echoes with rhythms and tales from the genre's rich history. Open Wed.–Sun. 11:00 am.–3:00 pm.
Encounter Animals in the Heart of America
Arguably the best-kept secret in the St. Louis area, the Endangered Wolf Center in Eureka helps save and protect wild canids, which you can glimpse on a daytime tour or hear on a nighttime howl.
The Saint Louis Zoo, on the other hand, is one of the most popular attractions in Forest Park, but it offers equally magical animal encounters: monkey, penguins & bears Oh my!
At the World Bird Sanctuary, you can meet a proud eagle, talk to a colorful parrot, encounter an emu and learn to appreciate vultures, while guests of Grant’s Farm can watch for free-roaming bovines, feed the goats and participate in a short and sweet animal show.
Diving deeper, the St. Louis Aquarium holds approximately 250,000 gallons of water and more than 13,000 aquatic animals.
Frolic with butterflies at the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House, marvel at the Purina Incredible Dog Team at Purina Farms and look for white-tailed deer, elk, bison, waterfowl and more on a drive through Lone Elk Park.
Connect with Your Inner Child at City Museum
City Museum invites visitors to explore the unexpected. Housed in a 600,000-square-foot former shoe company warehouse, the all-ages architectural playground offers a truly immersive experience, where you can climb into a bow whale’s mouth, rocket down a 10-story slide and pilot a plane suspended in the air. With a partner, friends or family, navigate an underground tunnel system, marvel at pancake art and write with the world’s largest pencil.
At Circus Harmony, you can also test your circus skills and snack on peanuts or popcorn. How serious is City Museum about exploring? The gift shop sells knee pads – which aren’t a bad idea! If you need a break, grab a bite or a beer on any floor, from the 19th-century Cabin Bar to the Rooftop Café.
Climb Aboard at St. Louis Union Station
In its heyday, St. Louis Union Station was one of the largest and busiest passenger rail terminals in the world. Today, it’s a source of endless entertainment for residents and visitors alike.
The stunning complex houses more than 13,000 animals at the St. Louis Aquarium, the 200-foot St. Louis Wheel, a carousel, an 18-hole miniature golf course, a ropes course and more. The 3D light show in the Grand Hall plays on the hour, and restaurants such as The Soda Fountain and The Train Shed will keep you fueled for infinite fun.
Eat Well & Be Merry
The food scene in St. Louis continues to evolve, growing, innovating and diversifying. There’s even talk of the city becoming a tastemaker in the culinary world. While we highly recommend dining at our creative, contemporary establishments, it would be remiss of us to not tell you about the emblematic eats in St. Louis. From breakfast to dinner to dessert, the Gateway City has dishes that delight everyone – from the pickiest eaters to the most ardent epicures – and each one comes with its own history, tradition and irresistible flavor. Let’s dig in!

Slinger
Inexplicably linked to St. Louis, the slinger is our midnight snack. An amalgamation of potato, egg, chili, cheese and protein, the iconic dish defies the limits of what can be literally slung together on a plate and still taste good.
Courtesy Diner will have a slinger waiting for you, 24 hours a day! Consider Kingside Express or Rooster’s.
St. Paul Sandwich
Designed to cater to American taste buds and served at Chinese-American restaurants throughout St. Louis, the St. Paul sandwich layers a hot, crispy egg foo young patty, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and a smear of mayonnaise between two slices of white bread.
Try Mai Lee, The Rice House and, of course, Park Chop Suey, where you can order it plain or with an extra protein – think chicken, pork, beef, duck and shrimp.
St. Louis-Style Pizza
St. Louisans are fiercely loyal to their favorite pizza joints, but no matter their allegiances, Imo’s Pizza is forever ingrained in the local culinary consciousness. “The Square Beyond Compare,” Imo’s was founded in St. Louis in 1964.
Other go-tos for St. Louis-style pizza include Guido’s Pizzeria & Tapas, Farotto’s Pasta & Pizzeria, Monte Bello Pizzeria, Pasta House and Pirrone’s Pizzeria.
Gooey Butter Cake
Legend has it that St. Louis’ iconic dessert, the gooey butter cake, was concocted when an absentminded baker forgot that he’d already added butter to his yellow cake mix and unknowingly doubled the amount. Ask any local, and you’ll get the same story.
If you want to take the treat to go, stop by Gooey Louie, head to Park Avenue Coffee or Clementine’s Naughty & Nice Creamery.
Pork Steak
Sometimes sold as Boston Butt or pork blade steak, a pork steak is cut from the shoulder of the pig in varying degrees of thickness: a well-executed pork steak, grilled and slathered in tangy barbecue sauce.
Check out BEAST Butcher & Block, Hwy 61 Roadhouse, Sister Cities Cajun, Super Smokers and The Fattened Caf.
Great Beer is a Way of Life
St. Louis is a city built on brewing, and today, people from all walks of life travel from near and far to make memories over a pint. Anheuser-Busch serves as a hub for brewing innovation, using the highest-quality ingredients, grown by American farmers, to produce more than 30 brands of beer. St. Louis also boasts almost 65 craft breweries. As you explore the region’s beer scene, we hope that you’ll raise a glass at one of our favorite spots, including 4 Hands Brewing Co., Melvin Brewing Eureka, Narrow Gauge Brewing Co., Schlafly Beer and Urban Chestnut Brewing Co.
