Aloft by Marriott St. Louis Cortex
Indoor pool and patio in the Cortex district
St. Louis
About this stay
Cortex is St. Louis's tech and startup corridor, and this Aloft leans into that energy with a contemporary bar and a patio that fills after work rather than after a museum visit. The indoor pool covers year-round use regardless of St. Louis's swing between humid summers and cold winters, and pet-friendly rooms make it workable for a family road-tripping with a dog. Missouri Botanical Garden is a seven-minute taxi away, an easy half-day trip, and Forest Park sits a two-minute walk from the closest transit stop. Parking is a paid add-on typical of the district, but the twenty-minute taxi ride to Lambert International, or twenty-eight by public transport, is shorter than most downtown properties manage (paid parking, one of the faster airport transit links in the city).

Our take
Aloft St. Louis Cortex is a 3-star hotel I would suggest to families who value an indoor pool over a central address. It sits in the Cortex innovation district, seven minutes by taxi from Missouri Botanical Garden and about twenty minutes from the airport. The bar and patio suit parents, pets are welcome, but parking costs extra. A 7.8 from 558 reviews is fair rather than outstanding.
- Take the shorter transit link to the airport here rather than a taxi if you're on a budget, it beats most downtown options on time.
- Walk over to Forest Park in the late afternoon before the Cortex bar scene picks up after work.
- Book the seven-minute taxi to Missouri Botanical Garden for a morning visit before the midday heat in summer.
