21c Museum Hotel St. Louis
Missouri
21c Museum Hotel St. Louis turns a 1926 YMCA on Locust Street into a place to stay, see contemporary art and spend time in the city. Its historic architecture provides a distinctive framework for galleries and installations, with the museum open to hotel guests and the wider public. The 173 rooms and suites combine high ceilings and large windows with custom furniture and contemporary artwork. Choices range from compact bunk rooms to larger suites, giving couples, friends and families different ways to make the building their base. The former YMCA's sporting purpose continues at Locust Street Athletic and Swim Club. A historic four-lane lap pool sits alongside fitness equipment, sauna and steam rooms, with massage treatments available. It gives a city break room for both exploration and time to unwind. Idol Wolf brings Spanish tapas traditions together with seasonal Midwestern ingredients, while Good Press serves coffee and straightforward café food. With City Museum and downtown entertainment nearby, the hotel particularly suits travellers who enjoy architecture, art and a lively public atmosphere as part of their stay.
