柴郡酒店 - 列治文高地 The Cheshire

Great Atmosphere!

We loved getting to stay somewhere that was pretty much rich in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go and see, but avoid the mass traffic of the city. This was our second time to St. Louis together and we definitely can't wait to make it back out to The Cheshire. It was everything we were looking for in a hotel. Plus the continental breakfast may have been small, but the quality made up for the quantity by far.

A favorite haunt

The Cheshire is a quirky British castle and authors based 'Lodge". Each room is named for an author and has a copy of one of the writer's works with a bio bookmark for each guest. (I have, over the years, enjoyed Auden & Isherwood, and now Laurence Sterne.) The windows on each floor and in each room are leaded pale colored diamonds. The reception area boasts heavy wooden furniture, a bear, and "Oriental" rugs over tile. The front desk and bar staff are superb! Nice pleasant people. The pool area is inviting even in non-swim weather, with standing heaters and a firepit. Too much fun, and reasonably quiet for a full hotel.

Guest with relatives in lounge area espousing ethnic and religious prejudices (?!) loud enough for others, including me, at separate tables to show surprise. Not a common experience at The Lodge!

Fun and charming theme, great location, and excellent staff!
