I stayed at The Westin St. Louis a few months ago and it was perfect because its in the downtown area and close to everything. However, its probably close to 20 minutes away from where you need to be.

that info helps..as i have no concept of "downtown"..
20 min is doable as I will only be in "lecture" area 2-3 hours..and will use Lift..

If this address is close on Lindbergh, I'd stay here:

HILTON ST. LOUIS FRONTENAC
1335 SOUTH LINDBERGH BLVD., SAINT LOUIS, MISSOURI, 63131, USA
TEL: +1-314-993-1100 FAX: +1-314-993-8546

It's close to the airport, and in a nice suburban area.

You mention the museum, I'd also recommend the fabulous Missouri Botanical Garden, which is near Washington U (a gorgeous campus) and the Central West End (nice little restaurants and boutiques).

Or, the Chase Park Plaza is a nice hotel, located central to the other sites mentioned.

Also, the Drury Inn downtown at the Arch is in an historic building and has great service, with breakfast and cocktail hour. But, it's not close to the airport or Lindbergh Blvd.

Clayton is another nice suburban location, that's somewhat between the airport and downtown.

There is a Holiday Inn Express on Lindell in the Central West End that would put you in a nice, beautiful area with a lot of restaurants. Euclid Avenue is an easy walk from there. You are also very near Forest Park where the St. Louis Art Museum is, you would need to take Lyft to get there though. You could also stay downtown near the Arch and be close to restaurants and some nice newly landscaped parks and a fun sculpture garden.

Lindell Blvd is a great idea. Gorgeous homes there, too. My high school was at Lindell & Newstead. Beautiful cathedral there.

Be sure to ask him how he likes little, short Tom Cruise playing big, very tall Reacher in the movies. LOL! Other than the money.
