During your St Louis vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
St. Louis Art Museum
Housed in a Beaux Arts-style building constructed for the 1904 World's Fair, this great museum is a buffet of the arts, where visitors can sample as much as they like of the displays from around the globe and from virtually all time periods. It contains works ranging from ancient and medieval art to European old masters, French Impressionists, American art from 1800 to 1945, and contemporary art. Its pre-Columbian and German Expressionist collections are ranked among the best in the world (it owns more paintings by Max Beckmann than any museum in the world). Other galleries feature Islamic and ancient art; an Asian collection; an Egyptian collection (including three mummies); arms and armor; and art from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. There are also displays of Chinese, European, and American decorative arts. You should spend at least 2 hours here.
Gateway Arch/Jefferson National Expansion Memorial
America's tallest monument, this graceful rainbow of shining steel soars 630 feet above downtown and the Mississippi River, commemorating westward expansion in the 1800s. Tram rides to the top can involve lengthy waits in the summer and on weekends; come first thing in the morning to purchase tickets (or order tickets in advance online at www.gatewayarch.com), then take in the Museum of Westward Expansion, which traces the journey of Lewis and Clark and those who followed. Extra fees are charged for both the Arch Odyssey Theatre, which features changing, 45-minute movies on a giant IMAX screen, and the Monument to the Dream film documenting the Arch's construction. Plan on spending at least 2 hours here.
Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis
Built after the turn of the 20th century and something of a curiosity, this cathedral combines a Romanesque exterior with a brilliant Byzantine interior and boasts the largest collection of mosaics in the world -- four million pieces of glass used in 83,000 square feet of mosaic art, created by 20 artists over a span of 75 years. Plan at least 15 minutes for this must-see.
Hyatt Regency St. Louis
Located in restored Union Station, with its many shops and restaurants, this hotel boasts Missouri's most spectacular lobby -- the station's former Grand Hall, with a six-story vaulted ceiling and gold-leaf frescoes. Most of the spacious (and quiet) rooms are in a modern addition beneath the trusses of the former train shed and feature such luxuries as bathroom TVs. For more pampering, stay in the Regency Club in the historic part of the station, which has the added perks of its own lounge, complimentary breakfast, and bathrobes. Everyone from business travelers to families stay here.
Sheraton St. Louis City Center Hotel & Suites
With a great location right next to a MetroLink Station and within walking distance of Union Station and Busch Stadium, this hotel occupies four floors of the renovated Edison Brothers warehouse, distinctive for a trompe l'oeil mural that draws its imagery from St. Louis landmarks and the 1904 World's Fair. Pluses include the in-house parking garage and the 10,000-square-foot sports bar and grill featuring 28 TV screens and live bands on weekends. Rooms are enormous, with standard rooms measuring 550 square feet. Otherwise, rooms are rather ordinary and even seem empty due to their huge size (many also face an inner atrium, making them dark as well) but are equipped with refrigerators.
Embassy Suites
Located near the Arch and downtown, in the restored riverfront nightlife district (Laclede's Landing), this all-suite hotel features a sky-lit, eight-story atrium as its focal point and offers two-room suites equipped with refrigerators, microwaves, two TVs, and wi-fi access. Ask for a room facing the Arch or the Mississippi on a higher floor to get the best views. Guests enjoy such extras as cooked-to-order breakfasts, free evening cocktails, a game room, and the very good St. Louis Fish Market restaurant, making it a good choice for couples and families alike.
