Clayton Plaza Hotel

Comfort & Convenience Close to the Music Scene

Modern comfort meets classic charm at the Clayton Plaza Hotel, located in the heart of Clayton, just outside downtown St. Louis.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate Clayton Plaza’s proximity to top St. Louis venues like The Pageant, Enterprise Center, and Delmar Hall—most a short drive or ride-share away. The hotel’s quiet suburban setting makes it an excellent retreat after a loud night out. With a 24-hour fitness center and flexible 4:00 PM check-in, you can roll in late and still unwind in comfort. Free Wi-Fi and workspaces are a bonus for those mixing business with pleasure.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a roomy, affordable spot

• Couples making a romantic weekend out of it
• Fans wanting post-show peace and quiet
• Budget-conscious music lovers who value free breakfast and great amenities

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a hot breakfast featuring omelets, waffles, and more—ideal after a late night out. While the on-site Plaza Grill and Bar serves breakfast only, there are plenty of walkable dining options in downtown Clayton. Microwave and fridge in every room make midnight snacks a breeze, even if late-night dining isn’t offered on-site.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or late-night bars, you’re just minutes from St. Louis’s vibrant nightlife scene. Hit the Loop for dive bars, clubs, and lounges, or keep things relaxed with a drink at one of Clayton’s upscale cocktail spots.

What People Say

Guests love the super clean rooms, friendly front desk staff, and the fantastic breakfast selection. Travelers on concert trips say it’s a “comfortable and quiet spot” with “great value for the location.” Many note how easy it is to get to venues and back without the downtown traffic.

Areas for Improvement

The breakfast-only dining may not suit those wanting a full-service hotel restaurant throughout the day. Some reviewers mention the decor is a bit dated—but most agree cleanliness and comfort make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a quiet, affordable, and comfortable hotel near the St. Louis concert scene, Clayton Plaza Hotel hits all the right notes.
