The Spotlight on Hilton Pennywell St. Louis at the Arch

Historic Charm Meets Downtown Vibes in St. Louis

Modern sophistication meets vintage flair at the Hilton Pennywell St. Louis at the Arch, a beautifully restored 19th-century bank turned boutique-style hotel. Located right in the heart of downtown St. Louis, it's only a short walk from major concert venues, the iconic Gateway Arch, and vibrant nightlife. With stylish rooms, thoughtful amenities, and a standout on-site restaurant, it's a smart pick for music lovers looking to stay central.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a half-mile from the Gateway Arch and America's Center, and within walking distance of multiple performance halls and stadiums, this hotel is a major win for concert-goers. You can stroll to your show and be back in your room without needing a rideshare. Rooms are well-insulated for a quiet night's sleep after the encore, and late-night dining options help refuel after a night of music. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out isn't until 11:00 AM — giving you a relaxed morning after the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish downtown base with a great bar
  • Solo travelers in town for a bucket-list act
  • Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
  • Fans needing a quieter recovery space after the concert rush
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want upscale comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Pennydrop Bar & Kitchen is a local favorite for both cocktails and upscale comfort food — ideal for a pre-show bite or a post-concert nightcap. While there's no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s central location means you're never far from late-night eateries. Breakfast is available, perfect for those easing into the morning after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn't host live music, you're within walking distance of some of downtown St. Louis's best bars, lounges, and music venues. The on-site bar is a great place to start your night with a craft cocktail and some local flavor in a more relaxed setting.

What People Say

Guests rave about the beautifully preserved historic architecture, the friendly and helpful staff, and the prime downtown location. Many love the upscale vibe that still feels welcoming and unpretentious. The fitness center gets high marks too, if you're looking to squeeze in a workout before heading to a show.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer valet parking, and some guests mention that parking nearby can be a bit pricey or limited during busy nights. Also, while most rooms are quiet, street-facing rooms might pick up a bit of city buzz — request a higher floor if you're a light sleeper.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a stylish, central, and concert-friendly hotel in downtown St. Louis, Hilton Pennywell delivers with historic charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable location.

Lackluster room material condition, but...

Liked: The bed mattress was comfortable. The TV was a nice big size. The room finishes looked modern and stylish. Its right across from the Arch. Great location.
Disliked: The pillows were flat, the toilet was faulty (the flapper did not always close resulting in no flushes without you lifting the tank yourself and fixing it), the shower doors did not latch so every shower resulted in wet floors, and the AC vent was situated so that as soon as it turned on it blew frigid air all over your directly, and the top drawer of the dresser did not close properly, and hung out about 4 inches regardless of how many times you tried to close it.
