A Cozy, Luxurious Christmas at The Cheshire in St. Louis

If you’re someone who longs for an old-fashioned holiday twinkling light, garland-draped mantels, and the scent of wood smoke curling through the air then The Cheshire might be your perfect December escape.

Where Nostalgia Meets Comfort

The Cheshire isn’t just a hotel it’s a mood. Each room is named after a British literary figure and filled with vintage furniture, stained-glass windows, and hand-carved details that feel like they’ve been waiting for your arrival since 1885. The lobby greets you with a roaring fireplace and a massive stuffed bear (yes, really), setting the tone for a stay that’s whimsical, warm, and unapologetically nostalgic.

 When the Holidays Arrive

The hotel begins decorating in late November, transforming into a festive haven with garlands, twinkling lights, and vintage Christmas decor that wraps around every banister and beam. It’s not just pretty it’s immersive. You feel it in the hush of the hallways, the glow of the fireplace, and the soft carols drifting from the Fox & Hounds Tavern. 

And if you’re lucky enough to be there on December 22nd, don’t miss Caroling with the Revelers’ Guild. It’s a live performance of Tudor and Victorian-era Christmas songs, plus singalongs of beloved classics. Guests gather in the lobby with mugs of wassail and themed cocktails, letting the music and ambiance wrap around them like a velvet cloak.

 Amenities That Make It Feel Like Home

Why Clayton, MO?
