Village de Menard is a lower-middle-range hotel located outside the village of Saint Louis on Marie-Galante. The property’s 15 studios and villas are clean and practical, if somewhat lacking in style. All offer kitchenettes or kitchens along with private terraces. There’s a pretty pool as well as a simple restaurant that serves breakfast for a surcharge, but on-site amenities are otherwise limited. Aside from two scenic beaches, there’s nothing within walking distance. Travelers interested in rooms with kitchenettes may want to compare rates and amenities with La Rose du Bresil in Capesterre.

The Cheshire has long been a St. Louis institution, and the historic property was thoroughly rejuvenated after multi-million dollar renovations in 2011. The classic decor in the lobby and cozy Fox & Hounds tavern were preserved during the overhaul, and the 108-room property retained charming British-inspired elements throughout. Yet modern additions -- such as the chic outdoor pool and terrace, as well as luxe amenities in rooms (flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, pretty duvets) -- add a fresh boutique appeal. Free extras including a continental breakfast, coffee/tea (at all times), use of a fitness center, a business center, free bicycles, and Wi-Fi, help make it a great value.

The 200-room Four Seasons Hotel, St. Louis is a luxury property situated on the Mississippi River next on Laclede's Landing, a revitalized historic area packed with restaurants, bars, and entertainment.

Rooms and suites are luxurious, spacious, and attractive, and many have superb views of the city and Gateway Arch. The restaurant serves Italian fare, and the outdoor dining terrace is spectacular.
