Napoleon's Retreat Bed & Breakfast  

" Perhaps no other Inn embodies the style and elegance of late nineteenth century St. Louis than Napoleon¡¯s Retreat Bed & Breakfast Inn. This exquisite 1880 2nd French Empire Victorian is located in the national historic district of Lafayette Square , just one mile from downtown St. Louis, the Arch, convention center, Busch Stadium and Union Station. As you enter through the original double set of 12-foot doors, you know that you have journeyed into an era of gracious hospitality that reflects the charm and sophistication of a by-gone era set in a relaxing and comfortable setting. Uniquely and tastefully decorated, each air-conditioned guestroom features queen-size beds and private modern baths with cozy robes, large fluffy towels and fine soaps and shampoos. Other appointments in the uncluttered rooms include refrigerators, writing desks, fresh flowers, cable TV, wireless internet service and private telephones. Guests are also invited to relax in the formal parlour, snuggling up with a good book next to the fire, or enjoy a refreshment in the beautiful New Orleans style courtyard. Chosen by Better Homes and Gardens as one of the "Prettiest Places In America", Lafayette Square boasts the largest collection of Victorian homes in the country. A "walk & gawk" tour of the neighborhood is a must. Thirty-acre Lafayette Park is the oldest city park west of the Mississippi; this Victorian jewel offers a glimpse into St. Louis¡¯ past with its original wrought iron fence, gazebos, park house and duck pond and is perfect for an early morning jog or evening stroll. Within two blocks of the inn are a number of fine restaurants open for lunch and dinner. Beautiful antiques, original works of art, a full breakfast (with flexible serving times), large comfortable accommodations, friendly-helpful hosts, convenient location . . . .these are but a few of the qualities that bring our guests back time and again. Setting new standards in the hospitality and lodging industry, Napoleon¡¯s Retreat is the perfect retreat for pleasure or business. "
