ELEMENT BY MARRIOTT ST. LOUIS MIDTOWN, Saint Louis

The hotel is situated in Midtown St. Louis, directly across from the Foundry-a lively complex with a food hall, shops, a movie theater, and the Museum of Illusions. The Fox Theatre is a 10-minute walk away, and Forest Park (with its zoo, museums, and attractions) is nearby. The St. Louis Gateway Arch is a short drive, and an ice-skating rink is within walking distance. The area is walkable for dining and entertainment, but the immediate vicinity quiets down late at night. The light rail is a 10-15 minute walk, providing easy access to the airport and downtown.
