Gothic Heights Inn is completely deserving of the description of "a hidden gem." Tucked away on a quiet street in Clifton Heights, the former church has been turned into a tranquil island in a very easily accessible area of St. Louis.
Because we couldn't get away for any length of time, I was looking for a unique place where I could surprise my husband with a mini-vacation for our 13th anniversary. Gothic Heights Inn was beyond perfect. Once we entered the building, it felt as if we had been transported to a remote location outside of our own city. The shared spaces are indescribably beautiful and peaceful with a full kitchen, secluded sitting areas, and even a piano. The original woodwork has been preserved throughout the bed and breakfast, and the impact is stunning. We stayed in the Riverfront Suite, which was perfectly decorated and felt like an oasis of privacy. And even though the temperature was below freezing, we completely enjoyed the rooftop hot tub and the gorgeous view of the city after dark. Needless to say, my husband was completely surprised that such a special place was hidden so close to us, and also needless to say, we are already talking about our next staycation escape to this little paradise. read more
