Seven Gables Inn Information

The Seven Gables Inn is a boutique hotel in the heart of Clayton, Missouri providing comfortable and convenient accommodations with the intimacy of a bed and breakfast. Located a short fifteen minutes from Lambert Airport and ten minutes from downtown St. Louis, our Inn is nestled amid specialty shops, art galleries and the area's finest eateries. The bustling Clayton business district is also home to more than 80 Forbes and Fortune 500 businesses. Built in 1926 using the Tudor Revival style, the Seven Gables Inn was remarkably sophisticated for its time. Originally it contained 27 apartments, 4 offices and 4 storefronts. Today, its allure and uniqueness have been lovingly preserved and updated. Each of the 32 uniquely decorated rooms and suites blend Old World charm with modern luxury.

It is a combination commercial-residential building that has had no major additions and offers a majestic escape within the city. It is one of the few remaining buildings that reflect the development of Clayton in the 1920s.
