This private, top-floor guest suite occupies the former servants’ quarters of an 1890s mansion located at the historic Lindell Boulevard entrance to Forest Park.
You will have the entire three-bedroom top-floor suite to yourself.
The layout is spacious and well suited for families or groups, with a large family room that includes two convertible couches for additional sleeping and multiple TVs throughout the suite.
Large windows provide direct views of Forest Park, including the historic entrance and surrounding green space.
The kitchenette is compact but fully functional and designed for light meals and daily convenience. It includes a Nespresso machine, coffee maker, electric kettle, countertop Breville convection oven, dishwasher, and a small refrigerator.
The home sits at the edge of Forest Park and at the gateway to the Central West End, one of St. Louis’s most walkable and desirable neighborhoods.
Forest Park is immediately adjacent and is home to many of the city’s most significant cultural institutions, including the Saint Louis Zoo, the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Missouri History Museum, the Saint Louis Science Center, and The Muny (Municipal Opera), the country’s largest outdoor musical theater. The park also offers golf courses, tennis courts, and seasonal ice skating.
The Chase Park Plaza Hotel is just steps away and offers multiple restaurants, bars, and a full movie theater, all within a short walk of the suite.
Daily conveniences are close at hand, including grocery stores, cafés, and a wide range of dining options throughout the Central West End. The Barnes–Children’s Hospital complex is also within easy walking distance.
In addition to Forest Park, the Central West End is home to the World Chess Hall of Fame and the Saint Louis Chess Club. Together, they have helped make St. Louis an internationally recognized center for competitive chess. The neighborhood regularly hosts national and international tournaments, bringing visiting players, families, and chess enthusiasts to the area. Both the Hall of Fame and the Chess Club are an easy walk from the suite.
Guests enjoy the privacy of a full guest suite while staying in a historic, owner-occupied home that has played a role in St. Louis civic and architectural history for more than a century. Historic postcards and photographs of the property, displayed throughout the suite, reflect its long relationship with Forest Park and the surrounding neighborhood.
Other Details to Note
This is a top-floor guest suite in a historic 1890s home and requires walking up two flights of stairs. There is no elevator.
Access to the suite is through a shared interior hallway of the owner-occupied home, followed by a private stairway to the top floor.
Once upstairs, the guest suite itself is entirely private and reserved for your stay. We respect guest privacy completely and do not enter the suite unless invited.
As with many historic buildings, the home includes original architectural features and period details that reflect its age and character.
The location is urban and very walkable. As a result, you may occasionally hear typical city activity.
