St. Louis Union Station Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton
A converted 1894 train station with a nightly light show
St. Louis
About this stay
The building is the headline: a genuinely restored 1894 train station whose Grand Hall now hosts a nightly 3D light show visible to hotel guests and Union Station visitors alike. Station Grille, the on-site gastropub, sits a minute's walk from most rooms, and the outdoor pool covers a warm-season swim within a complex that also includes the St. Louis Aquarium next door. Pet-friendly rooms and room service round out a stay built around architectural character rather than a standard tower layout. Breakfast and parking are both separate charges, a trade-off for the historic setting, and the Gateway Arch is a seven-minute taxi ride away. The airport sits about twenty-four minutes by taxi or thirty-four by public transport (nightly 3D light show included, outdoor pool seasonal).

Our take
St. Louis Union Station Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton is a hotel I recommend for its setting alone: a converted 1894 train station with a nightly 3D light show. An outdoor pool and a gastropub round out the stay, and pets are accepted. Budget for breakfast and parking, which cost extra. An 8.6 from 9,483 reviews shows it delivers consistently.
- Catch the nightly 3D light show in the Grand Hall, it's free to hotel guests and a genuine reason to stay in rather than out.
- Pair a stay here with the adjacent St. Louis Aquarium, it's a short walk within the same complex.
- Check the outdoor pool's seasonal schedule before booking a winter trip, it doesn't run year-round.
Why we love it
