Audubon’s Hotel At 9 North Main Street in the heart of historic downtown Ste. Genevieve, Audubon’s combines seven beautifully renovated boutique hotel rooms with one of the town’s favorite restaurants and bars. Housed in a building that has been part of the community since the early 1900s, it’s an ideal place to settle in for a weekend of history, good food, and a little small-town revelry. The location is hard to beat. Historic homes, museums, galleries, shops, and some of Ste. Genevieve’s best dining and entertainment are just a short walk away. Better yet, Audubon’s has a restaurant downstairs serving scratch-made French, Cajun, German, and Italian dishes. You can spend the day exploring town, enjoy a proper dinner, have a nightcap, and make it back to your room without ever looking for your car keys. A Storied Past Audubon’s has been a part of downtown Ste. Genevieve for more than a century, and its history is nearly as colorful as the town itself. The story begins in 1901, when Charles Petrequin purchased the property for a little over $2,000. By 1903, it was home to the Palace Bar, a popular local watering hole whose name still inspires a little nostalgia Read more…

Dr. Hertich House Built in 1850 as both residence and medical clinic for Dr. Charles Hertich, one of Ste. Genevieve’s first full-time physicians, this French Chateau-style building with distinctive mansard roof now serves as a heritage hotel blending historic elegance with modern luxury. Located at 99 North Main Street in the heart of downtown, Dr. Hertich House offers four three-room suites with king beds, gas fireplaces, and two-person jacuzzi tubs—plus Der Bierkeller, a unique basement apartment nestled within original 1801 stone foundation walls. Under new ownership by Dr. Sandra Hoffmann (herself a practicing physician at Ste. Genevieve County Memorial Hospital), the property continues the medical legacy while delivering what guests call “the ultimate in comfort.” As one anniversary couple raved: “My wife and I stayed in the Memories Suite and it was perfect. Extremely comfortable king bed, easy-to-use gas fireplace at the foot of the bed, and an awesome two-person jetted tub with complimentary bath salts. We had the stuffed french toast delivered to our suite the following morning—5 star service!” Practical Information Location: 99 North Main Street, downtown Ste. Genevieve, Missouri 63670 Building History: Built 1850; served as Dr. Charles Hertich’s residence and medical clinic; French Chateau style with Read more…

Main Street Inn Bed & Breakfast At 221 North Main Street in historic downtown Sainte Geneviève, the Main Street Inn is a beautifully restored 1882 Victorian hotel with ten distinctive guest rooms, a remarkable collection of contemporary art, and a front porch that practically insists you sit down and stay awhile. Owners Patrick Fahey and Susan O’Donnell spent a full year renovating the former Meyer Hotel, preserving its original architecture while bringing the accommodations comfortably into the 21st century. Today, the inn is equal parts historic landmark, art gallery, and welcoming home away from home. Guests enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast each morning, complimentary wine and cheese in the evening, and the sort of personal hospitality that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find. And then there’s the art. Original works by Shepard Fairey, Bryan Haynes, and other celebrated artists hang throughout the property, making a trip to your room feel a little like wandering through a private collection. It’s an unexpected pleasure in a town already full of surprises. A Victorian Landmark, Beautifully Restored Originally built in 1882 as the Meyer Hotel, the Main Street Inn has been welcoming travelers to Sainte Geneviève for well over a century. Its three-story brick Read more…

Angel’s Hideaway – Stay in a Different Kind of Historic Home in the Place Known for Historic Homes Angel’s Hideaway stands as the last original shotgun house in Ste. Genevieve—a rare 1924 architectural survivor now transformed into a modern boutique retreat. Wrapped in warm cedar with a sleek black exterior, this fully remodeled gem blends nearly a century of history with elevated contemporary comforts: electric fireplace, spa-like soaking tub, quartz kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances, and complimentary Heavenly Hair products. Hosts Ashley and Jason have created what they call “effortlessly luxurious”—the kind of stay where premium essentials are already stocked because, as travelers themselves, they know what matters. One guest captured it: “This place feels like a Hallmark movie set, but better because you actually get to stay here and live it.” The Last Shotgun House Standing Built in 1924, Angel’s Hideaway represents Ste. Genevieve’s last surviving shotgun house—a distinctive architectural style characterized by rooms arranged one behind another in a single-file line, narrow width, and doors aligned front to back. The name comes from the idea that you could fire a shotgun through the front door and the shot would travel straight through every room and out the back Read more…

Aunt Katie’s Corner – Where 1930s Glory, Rose Du Barry Glamour, and Old World Charm Create Downtown’s Most Distinctive Period Bungalow Experience Most vacation rentals offer generic comfort in spaces that could be anywhere—interchangeable bedrooms, utilitarian bathrooms, kitchens designed for efficiency rather than character. Aunt Katie’s Corner rejects this entirely. This meticulously restored 1930s bungalow, located in historic downtown Sainte Geneviève just a block off the main drag, doesn’t just reference its period through superficial vintage touches or antique accent pieces. This is comprehensive restoration to former glory—authentic 1930s atmosphere created through period-appropriate furnishings, old world charm preserved in architectural details, and the kind of attention to era-specific design that makes guests actually gasp when they see the Rose Du Barry bathroom or the vintage operational kitchen that isn’t just decorative but genuinely functional for preparing meals using equipment and aesthetics from nearly a century ago. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, Aunt Katie’s Corner accommodates small families, couples traveling together, or anyone wanting space to spread out during multi-day Sainte Geneviève explorations. But the real appeal isn’t square footage or bedroom count—it’s the immersive experience of inhabiting lovingly restored space that transports you to specific historical moment when Art Read more…
