The Cheshire has long been a St. Louis institution, and the historic property was thoroughly rejuvenated after multi-million dollar renovations in 2011. The classic decor in the lobby and cozy Fox & Hounds tavern were preserved during the overhaul, and the 108-room property retained charming British-inspired elements throughout. Yet modern additions -- such as the chic outdoor pool and terrace, as well as luxe amenities in rooms (flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, pretty duvets) -- add a fresh boutique appeal. Free extras including a continental breakfast, coffee/tea (at all times), use of a fitness center, a business center, free bicycles, and Wi-Fi, help make it a great value.
