Airbnb’s

I have a conference to attend at the Hilton at the Ballpark, but it’s a bit expensive and I would like to stay as close by as possible. Was considering an Airbnb.

What is the best areo to look that is close by?

If your goal is to stay close to the Hilton at the Ballpark in St. Louis for a conference, looking at Airbnb options can be a good alternative to the hotel, especially if you want more space or a lower rate. The Hilton is located near Ballpark Village, downtown St. Louis, which is central to several neighborhoods.

The best areas to search for Airbnb accommodations are those within walking distance or a short drive from the Hilton. Staying nearby will make it easy to get to your conference and explore downtown in the evenings.

  • Downtown St. Louis / Ballpark Village: This is the most convenient location, literally steps from the Hilton. You’ll find modern condos, lofts, and apartments here. Staying here gives you easy access to restaurants, bars, and attractions like Busch Stadium and the Gateway Arch.
  • Historic Soulard: About a 10–15 minute walk from the Hilton. Soulard is known for its historic brick buildings, local restaurants, and lively bars. It offers a quieter vibe than the immediate downtown area but still close enough to walk.
  • Laclede’s Landing: Just north of downtown, around a 10-minute walk. This area has some loft-style Airbnbs and is right by the Mississippi Riverfront, offering scenic views and easy access to downtown attractions.
  • Central West End (CWE): About 10–15 minutes by car or a short Uber ride. This neighborhood is vibrant with restaurants, cafes, and boutique shops. It’s a good option if you prefer a residential feel with nightlife options nearby.

When booking an Airbnb:

  • Check the exact distance to the Hilton at the Ballpark to ensure it’s convenient for your schedule.
  • Look for listings with parking if you’re renting a car, as downtown street parking can be limited.
  • Read reviews carefully to ensure safety and reliability of the host.
  • Consider amenities like Wi-Fi, kitchen access, and quiet space if you’ll be preparing for conference days.

Overall, for maximum convenience, downtown or Ballpark Village is ideal, but Soulard or Laclede’s Landing can offer slightly more affordable or charming options while still being very accessible.
