Where to Stay?
There are lots of great places to stay in St. Louis! Several hotels near Saint Louis University offer discounts to SLU parents. The area around SLU is known as Midtown but hotels downtown, near Union Station and in the Central West End are also convenient to campus.
Where to Eat?
The St. Louis food scene is hotter than its world-famous bar-b-que. There are spots for breakfast, brunch, lunch, coffee, dinner and desserts for almost any taste. Vegan? Gluten-free? St. Louis restaurants are ready to serve.
