About this Location

Facility Overview

The Drury Inn St. Louis at Union Station parking facility provides secure, dependable, and conveniently situated on-site vehicle parking in the vibrant Downtown West neighborhood of St. Louis. Serving hotel guests, eventgoers, and downtown commuters alike, this location primarily features an easily accessible, paved open-air surface parking lot alongside dedicated hotel parking bays. Because the facility operates largely without restrictive overhead clearance beams typical of tight underground decks, it comfortably accommodates a wide spectrum of passenger vehicles, including full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, crossover utility vehicles, and standard passenger cars. High-clearance conversion vans and vehicles equipped with roof cargo boxes can maneuver the outdoor lot with exceptional ease.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During sold-out St. Louis CITY SC soccer matches or major arena concerts, parking demand in Downtown West rises sharply. Drivers are strongly advised to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes before kickoff or puck drop to secure a prime space and avoid peak street congestion along Market Street and 20th Street. If you plan to visit for the entire day, consider securing your spot ahead of time via partnered parking apps or registering at the Drury front desk upon arrival. When programming navigation apps, set destination coordinates directly for 222 S 21st St to be directed accurately to the lot entrance rather than the main hotel passenger drop-off porte-cochère.
