Best Hot Tub Stays in St. Louis

Stays in St. Louis

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Louis At The Arch pairs its hot tub and indoor pool with free hot breakfast and the closest downtown walk to the Old Courthouse on this list, a single minute on foot. Its Union Station sibling, Drury Plaza Hotel Louis At Union Station, repeats the same free-breakfast, pool-and-hot-tub formula five minutes from the St. Louis Aquarium, useful for a family pairing an aquarium morning with an evening soak. Both trade paid parking for the free breakfast and amenity bundle, and both sit roughly twenty minutes from Lambert International by taxi.

HoteLumière at the Arch and 21c Museum Hotel both add a hot tub to their pool, but for different reasons: HoteLumière pairs it with a full spa and rooftop dining inside a casino-hotel format, while 21c adds pet-friendly rooms and free rotating art galleries to the same combination near City Museum. Quality Inn Florissant-St. Louis takes the budget route instead, bundling a free hot tub, pool, breakfast and parking into a single rate that also delivers the fastest airport connection on this entire list, roughly ten minutes by public transport rather than twenty or more downtown.

Pear Tree Inn St. Louis Near Union Station rounds out the Drury-family hot tub options with free parking added to the usual breakfast-and-pool bundle, eight minutes by taxi from the Gateway Arch, a straightforward budget pick without downtown's paid-parking premium weighing down the final bill. The West End breaks from the pattern entirely, pairing its hot tub with kitchens in some rooms rather than a pool, seven minutes on foot from the Cathedral Basilica, better suited to a multi-night stay built around cooking meals than a quick one-off soak after a single night downtown.

St. Louis's downtown core rewards a lot of walking, from the Old Courthouse to Union Station to Forest Park's outer edges, and the hot tub options here reflect that: most sit within the same walkable blocks rather than at a remote resort. The city's climate swings from humid summers to cold winters, both of which make an indoor hot tub a year-round draw rather than a seasonal one. Locals treat a hotel hot tub as a practical amenity, not a spa indulgence, in keeping with the city's straightforward, unpretentious character.
