The Spotlight on The Arch Convention Hotel

Classic Comfort Steps from the Downtown St. Louis Music Scene

Modern yet timeless, the Holiday Inn St Louis Downtown/Convention Center is a reliable choice for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action. Located right across from America’s Convention Center and just a short walk from downtown’s top live music venues, this hotel blends convenience, comfort, and affordability. Rooms are classically styled with thoughtful touches like workspaces, coffee makers, and cable TV—perfect for unwinding after a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a favorite among music fans thanks to its prime downtown location. You can easily walk to several performance venues and nightlife hotspots, meaning no need to worry about rideshares or parking after the show. Plus, with a 24-hour front desk and early check-in/late check-out flexibility (subject to availability), it’s well-suited for flexible concert schedules. The area stays lively late into the evening, but the hotel itself offers a quieter retreat for post-show recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends enjoying a weekend music festival
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples making it a music-filled date night
  • Fans looking for a calm and comfortable place to crash
  • Budget-conscious travelers wanting value without sacrificing location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame Sports Bar & Grill serves up hearty American fare for breakfast and dinner—perfect for fueling up before a show or winding down after. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the central location puts you within walking distance of late-night eateries and local bars. The in-room coffee and tea-making facilities are a welcome perk after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t host live music itself, you’re in the heart of downtown St. Louis, with bars, lounges, and clubs just blocks away. Whether you're in the mood for craft cocktails or a dive bar with jukebox vibes, it's all within reach. On quieter nights, the hotel bar offers a laid-back spot to sip a local brew.

What People Say

Guests praise the Holiday Inn for its clean and comfortable rooms, helpful staff, and unbeatable downtown location. Many reviewers note how easy it is to walk to nearby venues and restaurants, and appreciate the quiet atmosphere after a high-energy night out. The affordable pricing in such a central location is often highlighted as a major plus.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor feels a bit dated in spots, and that parking can be a little pricey or tight. Elevators can be slow during busy times, so plan accordingly if you're rushing to a show.

The Bottom Line

If you're coming to St. Louis for the music, the Holiday Inn Downtown/Convention Center puts you close to the stage and gives you a cozy place to recharge after the encore.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

J D, Sheboygan Falls, visiting America's Center Sat, 4 October 2014

Needs major improvements to facility.

Liked: Service was excellent, especially the cleaning ladies.
Disliked: Shower curtain was falling from walls (maintenance had to come). Vanity sink drain was leaking onto the floor every time the water was turned on (maintenance had to come). The ironing board would not stay upright (maintenance had to come). There was an extension cord strung across the room to power the light near the chair.

Good

Liked: It was next door to America's Convention Center. The price was affordable. Wifi and cable channels were included.
Disliked: It is a Holiday Inn. Name change made it confusing and seem like I was being scammed when booking online. Room could use vacuuming, ceiling repair in bathroom, and heater filter replacement since it smelled once turned on.

An unhappy customer

Liked: After we were moved to a more sufficient room, my stay was a bit better.
Disliked: When I arrived at the hotel, I was unsure of being in the correct location. The hotel name was not advertised on the building. I did not reserve a room at the Holiday Inn, but that was the name on the hotel. My first room was very warm, and the bathroom looked as if renovations were still going. Two different people walked into my bedroom without knocking and accessed my room while I occupied the room. Maintenence came to fix the air conditioning problem but left without fixing the issue and did not return. I called the front desk for the second time to request maintenance. They sent another person, and he said the air is broken and brought us key cards for another room. We had to move rooms after 5pm. We packed up our belongings and dinner to move, which was a hassle and very irritating, but the second room was better because the room looked renovated and had air conditioning. I explained what happened to the front desk receptionist and was told there was no one from management on the property until after 3pm at which I would have departed by then so needless to say I was not compensated for any of the issues the hotel caused. No apology and no contact from the hotel to correct their mistakes. I am a very unhappy customer.
