21c St. Louis

St. Louis

Where art, hospitality, and community come together in a historic YMCA building.

Step into a slice of community history at 21c St. Louis, housed in a 95-year-old, 10-storey Renaissance Revival-style YMCA building. Previous sporting fixtures, such as the old gymnasium and fitness track, are now transformed into art-filled spaces, with over 13,000 square feet of site-specific installations and rotating, curated exhibitions.

Continuing the traditions of the YMCA as a focal point for the community, original artworks from local artists decorate the 173 rooms, whilst cultural programming, sports, and wellness facilities are open to all. More of a foodie? Idol Wolf is a lively pintxos bar with an exciting menu of Spanish tapas to really cement the holiday mood.
