The hotel includes practical amenities such as a gym, an on-site restaurant, and a free area shuttle, aiming to support visitors with varying needs during their stay.

The property sits in an upmarket neighborhood known for its fine dining and boutique shops, with landmarks like the mosaic-adorned Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis nearby. Several prominent attractions including The Gateway Arch, Saint Louis Zoo, and Missouri Botanical Garden are within reasonable reach, making the location appealing for leisure travelers as well. St. Louis Lambert International Airport is approximately a 20 to 30-minute drive, ensuring accessibility for those arriving by air.

The rooms are out-dated and are just basic rooms with basic amenities. When you are staying here for easy access to Barnes Jewish hospital, it would be nice to have it a little more cozy.

We had a lovely stay here while visiting for a funeral. Terry and his staff were phenomenal. They made a difficult time that much better. The hotel itself was nice and clean and easily accessible from the highway. But seriously, the staff here really knocked it out of the park.

This is the only place you should stay if you have a loved one at Barnes Hospital. They worked with me beautifully and got me in a handicap room. The front desk supervisor, Lyn Petty Was the answer to my prayers she solved all of my problems and got me where I needed to be . Lyn Is a wonderful and kind person. Thank you so much, Lyn ‼ I needed to add more to my review. My husband and I checked out of the Doubletree this morning after my husband had over a two week stay at Parkview Tower,’s in Barnes Hospital. And Stephanie at the front desk helped us load our car. It was so very kind of her. She saw that we were struggling with all we had because of the long stay at the hospital. The people at Doubletree are very Kind and helpful. Thank you again, Stephanie, it meant a lot to us.

The staff are nice And our kids love the free cookies, but the laundry room is too small only two dryers and two washers but they need to put laundry rooms on each floor with at least four washers and four dryers each there is about 200 rooms in this hotel that means lots of people at this hotel will not be able to do laundry if it’s being used! The prices for the food in the market is higher than the grocery store. They need to lower their prices What they charge at the grocery store say a grocery item is $4 here it’s $8 nobody wants to pay double the price when they can go to Schnucks up the street or Whole Foods!

A perfect place to stay if you’re visiting or supporting loved ones at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis. DoubleTree offers friendly, caring staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and fresh linens that truly help you rest during stressful times. Barnes Hospital is easily accessible from the hotel, making visits simple and convenient. And after a long day, those free warm cookies are a small but meaningful comfort that really lifts your spirits. Highly recommend for anyone needing a peaceful, supportive place to stay during a hospital visit.

The faintest ink last longer than the best memory! 16 years later Terry was still employed at hotel and made our family cry..he remembered our 6 month stay 16 years ago. Children's hospital saved our premature twins and we returned to save their grandma( my mother) with emergency surgery that cured her cancer at Barnes. The hotel is attached to both of the best hospitals in the world. One is treated like family and has such a compassionate staff. Attached a note Terry wrote 16 years ago.(profile pic).

Quiet. Rooms were nice size, comfortable, and clean. Perfect location for any medical services at Siteman, Barnes, or Wash University.
