During your St Louis vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Missouri History Museum
St. Louis's history is presented through photographs, memorabilia, first-person narratives, portraits, and more, with displays featuring the city's role in westward expansion, the Dred Scott case (which upheld slavery), famous St. Louisans such as Chuck Berry and Tennessee Williams, the 1904 World's Fair held at Forest Park, a replica of Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis plane and other items relating to his life and solo transatlantic flight, and exhibits of the city's past. Allow 1 hour.
Anheuser-Busch Brewery
Anheuser-Busch, one of the world's largest beer brewers, was established at this site in the 1860s, and many architectural gems from that time period remain. Tours of the brewing process take in the 1885 Clydesdale stable, the historic 1892 Brew House, and the packaging plant, ending with free drinks. Allow 1 1/2 hours. Tours begin at 12th and Lynch streets (I-55 at Arsenal).
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.
Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the
St Louis area, including:
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.
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.
Drury Plaza Hotel
Here's a great location for both business and leisure travelers. More upscale than the other locally owned Drury Inns, this downtown hotel, situated just minutes from the Arch, opened in 2000 in three renovated buildings, including the 1919 Fur Exchange Building, and boasts Italian marble, massive support columns, and Waterford crystal chandeliers in its lobby. Rooms, some with Arch and river views, have microwaves, refrigerators, and free popcorn and soft drinks. Like all Drury properties, they offer free local calls, free evening beverages, and snacks (Mon-Thurs).
