The Cheshire
British-inspired rooms four minutes from Forest Park
St. Louis
About this stay
The Tudor-style architecture and British-pub-adjacent dining set The Cheshire apart from the glass-tower hotels downtown, four minutes on foot from Forest Park's entrance. The outdoor pool is genuinely seasonal rather than year-round, best used in the warmer months alongside a park walk. Free breakfast and free parking are both included, unusual together at this hotel class, and pet-friendly rooms suit a family road-tripping with a dog to the park's trails. Dou Dou Cafe is a one-minute walk for a casual coffee stop before a day at the Saint Louis Zoo or Art Museum, both inside Forest Park. At seventeen minutes to Lambert International, it's a reasonably central drive despite sitting outside downtown proper (free parking on site, four minutes to Forest Park on foot).

Our take
This suits travelers prioritizing Forest Park's museums, zoo and trails over the downtown riverfront core, with free parking as a real bonus. The outdoor pool is a summer draw rather than a year-round feature, worth knowing before a winter booking. Couples wanting a characterful, non-chain stay will appreciate the British theming more than a family chasing an indoor pool.
- Walk the four minutes to Forest Park in the morning before the Saint Louis Zoo gets busy with school groups.
- Check the outdoor pool's seasonal hours before booking a winter stay, it doesn't run year-round.
- Use the free parking here as a base for a full day exploring Forest Park's museums without moving the car.

Why guests love itThe Forest Park entrance is a four-minute walk away, and the park holds the Saint Louis Zoo, free to enter and an easy full day with children. Breakfast is included, the outdoor pool covers warm afternoons, and parking is free on site. The Britain-inspired decor gives this 4-star hotel real character, and pets are welcome. The airport is about seventeen minutes by taxi, and 2,148 reviews average 8.2.
