Our Story

A St. Louis tradition with roots dating back to the 1920s, The Cheshire embodies the charm and authenticity of a traditional British inn with all the modern conveniences of today. Generations of St. Louisans and thousands of visitors to our city came to love the old world feel and quirky charm of The Cheshire Inn and Lodge. What started as a modest hamburger joint, evolved through the decades into a landmark restaurant and hotel known as the Cheshire Inn and Lodge. Now, after undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation, this local treasure has been reborn.

This renowned St. Louis luxury hotel retains all the historic detail for which it is known, yet seamlessly blends the past with the future. Eighteenth century antiques and historical fixtures live alongside flat-screen TVs and granite bathrooms in our exquisitely themed suites. Even the popular Fox & Hounds Tavern has been reinvented. Its small plates menu features traditional English favorites and is also served poolside and at the Clayton Courtyard.

Throughout the renovation process, no detail has been overlooked. From the hand-carved mantle in the living room to the stained glass windows throughout, the rich patina of tradition is alive and well. The storied history of this iconic hotel has been preserved, her grandeur restored in a clever blend of old and new. The Cheshire’s timbered walls house decades of special memories. We are thrilled to begin this new chapter in the great story that is The Cheshire, and we look forward to making our home yours.
