My husband and I try and find reasons to visit St Louis just to stay here again. I discovered this B&B back in 2000/2001 when I visited St Louis with a friend. We completely fell in love with the place. The hosts were wonderful, the food was delicious, and the bed...well, my friend unmade it a bit to find out... more

We stayed with Geoff and Michael for two nights and would have liked to stay longer. The room was beautifully furnished, and although at the front of the house, was very quiet. The bed was superb, very comfy and with quality linens. The only tiny thing I would mention is that in that particular room (Napoleon) the en suite bathroom... more

You can always tell a great B&B by its guest service book. The book included a biography of our keepers as well as countless great tips for both eating and sightseeing. The B&B is about a 10 min walk from Union Station, which will link you to most of the sites they highlight (as well as the airport). The house... more

I came to St. Louis on a business trip. Being a woman alone, I did not feel comfortable staying in a regular hotel. I went on to the internet and found Napoleon's Retreat. The website showed beautiful pictures of the rooms and a nice secluded court yard beautifully landscaped. After I arrived I was not disappointed. The B&B was even... more

We've stayed at Napoleon's Retreat a couple of times, but were lucky enough this year to also participate in the Lafayette Square Spring House and Garden Tour. I remember when this area was really falling apart, and now it's wonderful. Napoleon's Retreat is one of the restored Victorian homes in this district, and it's beautiful. We've stayed in the Lafayette... more

The person who answered the phone call was very gruff and only muttered "It's too late to call, " before hanging up. Here's some alternatives for the proprietor: (1) don't answer... more

We just spent 4 lovely days and Napoleon's retreat. Our hosts were very familiar with the area and provided us with some helpful tips. The B&B is located within about a mile from most major St. Louis attractions (Anheuser Busch, Busch Stadium, Gateway Arch) which meant we could walk every where. There were also a lot of restaurants withing a... more

My husband and I just stayed at Napoleon's Retreat and had a great time. We choose it for its historic character and location, and were not disappointed. The home has been beautifully restored inside and out. On the day we arrived, all of their wonderful flowers were in full bloom, especially the tulips. The innkeepers, Jeff & Michael, were so... more

Our Two night stay in the Burgundy Room in September 08 was outstanding: Immaculately clean, elegant decor, excellent hosts. It was a pleasure to stay here. Breakfast was delicious. Very good value for money. Very good location for local restuarants in the La Fayette area ( you simply must try Bayleys Chocolate Bar and Ricardo's italian restuarant) also good for... more
