Moonrise Hotel is a boutique hotel at 6177 Delmar Boulevard in the Delmar Loop neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, positioned at the heart of one of the city's most celebrated commercial streets. The Loop, recognized by the American Planning Association as one of the ten great streets in America, stretches through St. Louis City and University City with an eclectic mix of independent restaurants, music venues, vintage shops, and the St. Louis Walk of Fame — stars embedded in the sidewalk honoring notable St. Louis natives. Washington University in St. Louis lies approximately one mile west, and the Pageant music venue and Tivoli Theatre are within steps of the hotel's front entrance.
The hotel's design draws on a playful lunar and space-age aesthetic. The lobby features a dramatic celestial mural, vintage space-age furnishings, and a silver-and-blue palette that continues through the guest rooms. Standard King and Queen rooms, Junior Suites, and the signature Moon Suite are styled with the theme throughout, featuring custom-made furniture, premium mattresses, and modern bathrooms. The property is intimate enough to feel attentive, with concierge service oriented toward curating Loop and St. Louis experiences.
The Eclipse Bar on the hotel's rooftop is Moonrise's most recognized feature — a rooftop lounge offering sweeping views across the Delmar Loop, the St. Louis skyline to the east, and University City to the west. The bar draws both hotel guests and local visitors for cocktails and live music on summer weekends. The ground-floor restaurant serves American bistro cuisine with locally sourced ingredients, consistent with the Loop's emphasis on independent, community-focused dining.
A fitness center is available for guest use. The hotel offers valet parking and a pet-friendly policy. Forest Park — home to the St. Louis Zoo, Art Museum, and Missouri History Museum, all with free admission — is a five-minute drive east along Skinker Boulevard.
