St. Louis, Missouri
Loft-style hotel in Cortex, a 10-minute walk from The Grove.
A 129-room hotel in the Cortex Innovation District, the Aloft sits at the intersection of St. Louis's tech corridor and The Grove, the city's gay neighborhood on Manchester Avenue, about a 10-minute walk south. Rooms are loft-style with nine-foot ceilings and open floor plans. Common areas include a WXYZ bar with craft cocktails and live music, an indoor pool, and a terrace with an outdoor fireplace. Opened in 2020, the hotel draws a mix of business travelers and visitors exploring Midtown and the Central West End. Forest Park — home to the free zoo, art museum, and science center — is a short drive west. Pet-friendly, with EV charging and contactless check-in.
