The Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza St. Louis

Classic Glamour Meets Live Music Energy in St. Louis

Modern elegance with a timeless twist, The Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza St. Louis blends historic charm with updated amenities—perfect for travelers seeking a more upscale stay. Nestled across from Forest Park and just 3 miles from downtown St. Louis, it’s close to major music venues while offering a peaceful retreat after the show.

From its Mediterranean-style seasonal pool to an on-site five-screen movie theater, this hotel is designed for comfort and entertainment. Rooms feature satellite TV, WiFi access, and in-room movie service to unwind after a night of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel strikes a great balance between location and relaxation. You’re just a short ride from downtown’s biggest venues, yet far enough to escape the post-show chaos. Late check-in at 4:00 PM gives you time to settle in, and the 11:00 AM checkout doesn’t rush your morning. It's also close to public transportation routes and rideshares are plentiful in this well-connected area.

• Groups of friends looking to pair a concert with a fun night in the Central West End
• Solo travelers in town for a bucket-list show
• Couples wanting a stylish weekend escape with music and dining
• Fans who appreciate a quieter, more upscale recovery space
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind splurging a bit for added comfort

While there's no 24/7 room service, you can grab drinks and small plates poolside during warmer months. Late breakfast options help you recover after a long night out.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music directly on-site, the hotel’s Central West End location puts you steps from trendy bars, lounges, and cocktail spots. Start with a drink at The Chase Club, then explore nearby watering holes that keep the vibe going well past encore.
