After nearly three years in South Korea, we’re back in the US! Our first stop was picking up our shipped car. We rented a car at O’Hare International Airport and embarked on the 4-hour drive to the distribution center and one of our favorite hotels– the Hotel Saint Louis in downtown St. Louis. As a boutique-style hotel in the Marriott Autograph Collection, it marries beauty and style with the perks Marriott Hotels are renowned for. For us, it’s the perfect blend of luxury, amenities, and convenience. We also love that it is located in a historic building built over a century ago, in 1893.

Where you stay shapes your trip as much as what you see and do. On my travels, I’ve stayed everywhere—from family-run guesthouses with warm, personal touches to luxury hotels with views I still dream about. I choose hotels that fit the pace and purpose of my journey, whether it’s a city break with easy access to markets and cafes, a beachfront escape steps from the water, or a quiet retreat where I can write and recharge. Every hotel I share here has been part of my story, offering comfort, connection, and a sense of place that lingers long after checkout.
