A Boutique Inn in Clayton, Just Outside St. Louis

Even with its many galleries, theaters, jazz clubs, and church cathedrals, the art of St. Louis just can't be contained—creativity literally spills out into the streets in the form of murals and sidewalk performances. The "Gateway to the West," this Midwestern destination still buzzes with the adventurous spirit of a new frontier, where trendy neighborhoods, cozy cafes, pulsing music stages, and eclectic dining spots favor just about any fancy.

A boutique property in the heart of Clayton, Seven Gables Inn boasts Tudor Revival-style accommodations stationed just ten minutes from downtown. Rooms at the inn feature original artwork and spacious bathrooms, as well as antique furnishings and luxury amenities like Acca Kappa bath products, Fiji water, chocolates, terry cloth robes, and complimentary WiFi. In the evening, the Inn's pub, Molly Darcys, turns dining into a novel concept by combining American favorites—such as St. Louis-style pizza, burgers, and homemade potato chips—with an extensive list of Irish whiskeys, bourbon, and scotch, and dishes like fish and chips and Guinness stew.
