The Ullrich Suite is an unusual and beautifully furnished open floor plan, one-bedroom apartment in St. Louis' grand and historic Tower Grove East neighborhood, near Compton Heights. Located in a former storefront bakery, the apartment features a king-sized bed of the highest quality. (Please note that a large arts and crafts style bookcase separates the living room area from the sleeping area. In other words, the bedroom is not a room by itself with a door.) Included in the tariff is a rotating selection of light breakfast foods, unguarded welcome treats, a selection of teas, and freshly roasted coffee from one of the city's best roasters to start your stay. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped, with a large gas range, frost-free refrigerator, dishwasher and much more.
In warmer weather, sit outside and enjoy the fountain and garden in the Ullrich's gated courtyard. From this location it is easy to walk, bike or take public transit to the best of St. Louis. The Gateway Arch and Downtown St. Louis are less than four miles from the Ullrich Suite. The world-renowned Missouri Botanical Garden is two miles west--and a delightful walk, through some of the city's finest historic neighborhoods. St. Louis University Medical Center is within walking distance. The main campus of St. Louis University is two miles north. Washington University's main campus is about seven miles from the Ullrich Suite. Barnes Hospital & Washington University Medical Center is four miles from the apartment. Numerous restaurants and magnificent historic parks are within walking distance.
Rates are based on two people. Add $15/night for a third person using the sofa, for which we will provide full linen service. Parking is free and on-street in front of the Ullrich Suite. While your reservation is held with a fully refundable security deposit, you are not charged your rental fee until you arrive. A two-night minimum is required on weekends.
We use dynamic pricing to ensure competitive rates. Sorry, while we all love them, we do not allow pets at the Ullrich Suite.
The Ullrich is on the ground floor, with one step leading to the apartment entrance.
We loved the Ullrich Suite. Felt very comfortable there for our eight day stay in April.
What a pretty little apartment! I loved the high ceilings and the spacious kitchen. Everything I needed for my stay!
Beautiful place to stay. Was a tiny bit hard to figure out where the front door was from where the Lyft driver dropped me off, but otherwise everything went very smoothly. The coffee shop a minute away was really nice, and the bar around the corner was cool too. The only real downside to this place is that it's far from the downtown area and there aren't many obvious public transit options, so you'd probably want to either be willing to get a lot of Lyft/Uber's or have your own car rental.
The place had some nice extras like bagels, some local beers, and chocolate which were really appreciated. Well decorated and very clean.
We stayed in the suite while moving our son into SLU. The location is great and convenient, the bed is very comfortable, everything was clean, and all the comforts of home were made available. We would definitely stay here again.
The Ullrich Suite was as beautiful as pictured on the web site. The attention to detail was felt throughout the suite. Traveling by plane, it was very thoughtful of the owners to have coffee, filters, bagels, and a few other treats awaiting for us in the kitchen. The Suite was spotless and the bed was super comfortable.
It was so very cozy with very special touches to make our stay very comfy!!
Awesome little studio type rental. Very clean and tidy. Loved the neighborhood and close to things in downtown. Lots of fun and foody places nearby! Tiny bathroom but ok for just the two of us!
Our stay was excellent in a wonderful apartment. It is beautifully furnished, spotless, and in an interesting neighborhood.
The suite was perfect for our trip. We had been slightly concerned about evening noise from the restaurant next door, but it was very quiet.
Everything in St. Louis exceeded our expectations and the Ullrich Suite kicked off the trend.
Perfect for a couple - an amazing historic space that is perfectly-designed, comfortable, clean, great location - not only a beautiful historic neighborhood but great restaurants, parks and more within walking distance or a short drive (or bike ride as we did on a couple of occasions). Management were super responsive, proactive and as other reviewers have noted, little touches like beer, fruit, bagels in the fridge/freezer and coffee show the guest-centricity at every turn. We loved our stay and are already plotting our return - mainly in order to stay at the Ullrich again.
Staying at Ullrich allowed us to experience St. Louis in a different way by becoming part of a neighborhood which was really neat! The area was quiet. The accommodations were really neat and private. Enjoyed the coffee and the treats. I would recommend taking your own breakfast items. There is a neighborhood store nearby which was very convenient. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Convenient to Forest Park and downtown.
My wife and my family have been frequent guests, of this property and other SF Shannon properties, over the past 4 years and have never been disappointed. The properties are always clean and stocked with everything you need for any length of stay. The staff is exceptional and they clearly understand customer service, whether it is early check-in or modifications to an existing reservation. The Ullrich suite is an extremely spacious unit with a tastefully preserved historic look, coupled with modern amenities. Now that our son has graduated, I will miss staying at these wonderful properties but if we are ever to return to StL, for any reason, we will definitely stay at this or any other of the SF Shannon properties.
This was our first stay at the Ullrich Suite and we hope to come back again. The apartment was perfect for two people. We especially liked being close to a coffee shop, next door to a quiet bar, and a very short walk to some of the best burnt ends and crispy smoked chicken wings place. It was a short drive to all the sites from the museum to the botanical center. It was also a short drive to "the hill" where there are some wonderful restaurants.
Location was great, very accessible to the brewery, botanical gardens, zoo and in a safe area.
The property was very clean and had everything we needed. Parking was in front of if so very convenient. Definitely recommend!
The Ullrich Suite was perfect for our girl's getaway. The owners paid attention to every detail. We loved everything from the morning coffee and bagels provided to the ambiance of the entire place. Very comfortable and close to the many adventures St. Louis has to offer.
Nice central location. Comfortable. Small bathroom but a great place.
This is the second time we have rented this unit. It is always very clean and comfortable. We love the location because it close to all the areas we like to visit, Soulard, Lafayette Square, Cherokee and downtown. There is a nice coffee shop almost right across the street and a restaurant next door. We will be staying here again in the future. Management was great to deal with and prompt at returning correspondence.
This neat little apartment worked well for me on a business trip to St Louis. Everything was excellent.
We love the apartment and the location. Next door to a very affordable bar/restaurant that was featured on Bar Rescue. Minutes away from many shops and restaurants. The apartment is spacious for 2 people although the bathroom is small. It's very comfortable and the owners are terrific. We've already booked our next stay!
We love the Ulrich and have been return guests for the past 3 years. Everything is kept squeaky clean which is my top priority. The linens are excellent quality, the bed is wonderful, the furniture and decorations make the place feel so cozy and comfortable. And the owners are very responsive, quickly replying to any inquiries or needs.
The house was beautiful and clean. We felt welcomed and safe during our trip. The house is located in a nice neighborhood with beautiful old homes. We would stay again!
Our stay in the Ullrich Suite was delightful. We loved having the full kitchen to enjoy breakfast in our jammies. The fridge with eggs, bagels and fruit was the nicest touch. The locally roasted coffee beans with accompanying grinder put it over the top for us. It truly was the best "full kitchen" rental we've experienced, and considering that's our standard travel choice (we prefer to eat in some meals when we travel), it says a lot. The bed was really comfortable, as was the TV area where we binged on Season 1 of "This is Us." Our only slight tussle was the bathroom size. Again, all the special touches were there (the waffle weave towels were heavenly), it was a tight fit. We wondered if the small alcove right outside the bath couldn't be utilized somehow for space to spread out toiletries, clothes and towels while getting ready. Privacy could be achieved by a heavy pull curtain that could be slid to the side when pamper time in the shower wasn't happening. Just a thought. It wouldn't keep us from coming back, that's for sure. The thoughtful care and maintenance of this historic space was evident and appreciated. Well worth the investment for our long weekend getaway. Thank you!
My husband came to town for a short stay. However, I didn't want to leave! This apartment is so charming and comfortable. It was very clean and nicely remodeled. The bed was very comfortable as well. The homeowners left snacks and light breakfast foods to make our morning even more enjoyable. I wish we had more time to explore the quaint neighborhood. A visit to The Shaved Duck is a must! Just a short walk down the street to mouth watering BBQ!
Another great stay in a beautiful historic building. We have been staying in SF Shannon properties for the past 4 years when we visit our son. They are always clean and stocked with all the comforts of home. This unit is in a safe neighborhood and within walking distance to Tower Grove Park. The staff is always accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. We'll be back.
We loved the Ulrich which was a blend of the historic old & contemporary new. The rooms were spacious with the exception of the bathroom. Considering that it was a transformation of a bakery to a living space, it was very well done! The rental was so clean & tastefully decorated.
We were surprised to find eggs & bagels in the fridge which allowed us to enjoy an "eat-in" breakfast. There is a restaurant immediately next door which makes it convenient if you desire not to venture far. We had reservations at a restaurant,the Element, that provides rooftop dining & an amazing view of the St. Louis skyline including the top of the Arch. Since this was a celebration dinner, we were not disappointed! The food was amazing!!
The Element was within short driving distance from the Ulrich. The mgt. service for the Ulrich was most helpful when we phone with several questions. At first I was concerned about the rental price, however, with the treats, breakfast foods & ambiance & other amenities, it was indeed well worth it!
My son and I stayed at the Ullrich for 19 days while he was involved in a production at the Muny. The location was very convenient for ease of getting to and from Forest Park. The convenience of Grand Ave and Compton made getting anywhere a breeze. I was surprised that there wasn't an actual bedroom, but rather the bed is separated from the living room by a large bookcase. The convenience of Crafted right next door was perfect for food and hanging out with friends. The noise from the bar was not a problem late at night. Amenities were wonderful and the staff was most accommodating when we had problems with the alarm; it was addressed quickly considering it was a weekend. The unit has a lovely courtyard and side lawn for the dog to run. Parking wasn't too bad, never had to park more than a block away. As mentioned in other reviews, the bathroom is small but manageable. My only complaint, and it is so minor, is that the kitchen trash can was so small and filled up too quickly. Overall, we were pleased with our stay and enjoyed our time at The Ullrich.
We have stayed in other SF Shannon properties before and are never disappointed. This one is no different. The location is unique and great, and the unit has an interesting history. It is well appointed with a nice living area and large kitchen. The building is older but well taken care of, and that's exactly what we like.. character with comfort. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Close to everything loved the welcoming goodies onky downfall was the bathroom being so small ned was comfortable parking was kind of tricky at times had to drive around the block a few times to get a spot.
A wonderfully renovated location - loved the layout and all the well thought out details. The owners communicated promptly and were very accommodating. We used to live in St. Louis and love the old homes - this place is in a great neighborhood. We plan to stay again and would recommend it to others.
Ullrich suite - By far the best bang for your buck. Awesome area!
As described in all other previous reviews, the place was perfect and clean, super clean. The bed is understated. It is top notch and my whole family slept very well. My little ones really enjoyed the snacks (sorry , all of them!). The bed is amazing and the suite is impeccable but the location is even better. 5-10 minutes from arch, 5 min from botanical gardens, from zoo, science center, city museum....the list goes on. The neighborhood is very safe. Also, you are right down the street from the shaved duck, which is a must visit. As well as 1.5 miles from sump coffee. We are going back to St louis in a few months and I will be staying here again. Cannot beat it for the money.
My husband and I visited St. Louis for the weekend and enjoyed staying in the Ullrich Suite immensely! It was clean, the location was convenient, and the historic charm of the building was delightful. In addition, we were able to bring our dog, Molly, with us. There was a small courtyard right outside the front door for the convenience of walking her. The property owners thought of everything! My husband enjoyed the fresh coffee and I enjoyed the wide selection of delicious tea. One tiny suggestion I would offer is replacing or cleaning the tea pot - the inside was completely rusted so I ended up heating water in the microwave.
Never expected anything so wonderful.
Everything about this apartment was first-rate, from well done restoration of the space (formerly a baker!) to the tasteful furniture to the antique dishware to the wall hangings and linens. It was spacious, airy, beautiful, simply a delight to stay in. We literally didn't want to leave!
My daughter and I enjoyed everything about this rental. It is spacious, tastefully decorated and furnished, and located in an interesting area.
We loved our stay in the Ullrich Suite! It was clean, nicely furnished & has a convenient location. There is a restaurant on the corner & coffee shop a few steps away from the suite & we visited both. Also appreciated the snacks provided, made us feel right at home! Easy reservation, check in & check out too. Will always check with SF Shannon first for reservations while visiting in St. Louis! Thanks!
This is my 4th or 5th stay at an SF Shannon rental - I keep coming back because the experience is wonderful.
The suite was beautifully decorated. The space was very inviting and the bed was very comfortable. The suite was very clean and the provided treats were a huge added bonus. Good location and nice neighborhood.
Couldn't ask for nicer management of this property. Karen and Rachel are so great to work with. This property is perfect for a couple, traveling alone, or maybe 3 people. It's hands down 10x better (in my opinion) than staying in a hotel! We enjoyed the items they had stocked in the refrigerator and snacks throughout the place. Honestly, the only gripe I have, is that I'm a rather big guy and the bathroom is pretty small. Nothing too bad, just the vanity decreases the width of the room. Other than that, which that didn't bother me that bad, we ABSOLUTELY loved The Ullrich Suite! Thanks again Karen and Rachel for a awesome place and great communication between you and your guests. You guys rock!
Great place to stay. Easy to park. Great restaurants.
This review is very late but better late than never. The Ullrich Suite will forever be my favorite place to stay in St. Louis. It is pet friendly and truly felt like our home away from home. I loved the story behind the Ullrich Suite and the charm and character that came with it. The managers of the property were absolutely wonderful. They helped recommend places for us to visit and were accommodating of our odd check in time. 5/5 stars! I highly recommend you stay here when you are visiting St. Louis.
Loved the Ullrich Suite. Especially nice to have coffee and goodies. So wonderful to stay in the neighborhood. Really great location and wonderful accommodations.
This was our second time staying at the Ullrich. This time we were as pleased as the first time. We are looking forward to our next stay. We love the location it makes it so easy to get to all the places we wanted to go. The owners are so very friendly and helpful. The Ullrich has everything you need. Fresh linens and towels are supplied. Tasty snacks were provided. Very clean , cozy home away from home.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Ullrich Suite. The property was clean and comfortable. We found a variety of restaurants within a 15 minute walk. The neighborhood was nice as well. All in all, a great place to stay!
My wife and i had a wonderful weekend here.
We stayed at the Ullrich Suite in June 2016 and loved it! Great place full of history. We loved the marble on the walls and that it used to be a bakery. Accommodations were clean and a great size for a family of 2-3. No problem getting street parking. We stayed one night and chose to eat and have a drink next door, which was convenient. No noise coming from the restaurant/bar at all could be heard.
I had an excellent rental experience at the Ulrich. The managers are so nice and do everything possible to make your stay the best. The kitchen is stocked with goodies, the unit is spotless and so tastefully decorated and the bed is very comfortable with luxury linens. This is one of my definite return to spots.
We had a great time in St. Louis visiting our daughter and staying in the Ullrich Suite. We have stayed in SF Shannon's other properties and they are always clean, well-maintenance, and the managers are very responsive. They provided fresh coffee and other snacks and treats. We love to walk in Tower Grove Park and enjoy the restaurants in nearby Lafayette Square.
Our stay could not have been any more enjoyable. The location is excellent - close to everything - the Hill, Botanical Garden, downtown, Soulard, etc.. The neighborhood restaurants & coffee shop were unique and outstanding. Karen provided everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
This apartment was a wonderful place for my husband and I to stay for a night in STL from KC. We loved the beautiful woodwork and spacious living and kitchen area. The little touches like the popcorn, chocolate, coffee, beer in the fridge and excellent soap and lotion were added bonuses. We walked to the restaurant and shopping area easily. The Shaved Duck around the corner is a must visit!
What a lovely little place!! A great neighborhood and the Ullrich was quiet and cozy. Definitely would recommend to anyone and hope to go back sometime..
All good great place and great value for the money.
Great place. Centrally located. It was actually 2 blocks from my nephews home. Only small issue was that the place was very warm at night. We turned off the heat, but still felt heat coming through the radiators. It got to about 76 at night.
We regret that you and your family were too warm, Ken! We wish that we had known while you were in residence, so that we could adjust the boiler that heats the building. (The thermostat in the Ullrich Suite controls only the apartment's central air condtioning.) We have our furnace man checking the boiler and its thermostats to make sure that no future guests are too warm. Thank you for alerting us to this issue!
The quiet and luxury of the Ullrich was just what I needed for my stay in St. Louis. I will indeed stay there again.
The property manager was very helpful with accommodating any of our requests. The suite was clean and had all the amenities it said.
The Ullrich Suite was fantastic!! Absolutely no complaints. It was located in a great area and parking was very easy. I had never been to St. Louis before and had some airline travel issues-Rachel was so accommodating and helpful. We arrived to the Suite in the early AM hours and were SO grateful for the snacks in the fridge :) The weekend was great, and I have absolutely no complaints! The suite is large, clean, and very comfortable for two people; there is a full-sized kitchen that is well-equipped. The bed was very comfortable (king). The Suite is located close enough to all major tourist attractions that you can easily drive and park without any issues. I would absolutely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone traveling to St. Louis!
The Ullrich Suite is a tasteful blend of 1860s architecture with modern amenities and the decor preserves the historic feel. It was very spacious and the entire place was well maintained, extremely clean and stocked with various food and beverage items. The location could not have been more perfect and Compton Heights is a well kept neighborhood that seemed very safe. Rachel was absolutely fabulous to deal with. The next time we visit our son, we will be sure to inquire on the availability of the Ullrich Suite. Thanks for a great stay!
A unique place for sure.. but very enjoyable. Comfortable and roomy and well equipped. The Owners/managers were very friendly and helpful. The neighborhood was very walk-able - just 6-7 blocks to some really great restaurants. We will stay here again next time we are in St. Louis.
We had a wonderful stay in the Ulrich Suite. The accommodations were perfect and the surrounding neighborhood a gem. We travel to St Louis on occasion and this will be our new home away from home.
We use this website for our lake house & have been using it when we travel since. This was our first time using it for St. Louis & were absolutely smitten by the accommodations at the Ullrich Suite. It had so much character & it was set up so perfectly. We enjoyed the martini bar next door before heading downtown. Great location. We will most definitely be back! We can't say enough great things about it.
Very homey and many personal thoughts went into the decor as well as tid bits of food offered making our stay to feel like home.
I am definitely coming back sometime in the winter time. Love this place. Feels like home.
Very Clean and neat. Liked having snacks and beverages left for us. Bed was really comfortable. Owners easy to get a hold of and responded quickly to any questions we had. There is a coffee shop almost right across the street with friendly owners. Good location great experience! Would stay there again.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend both the apartment and management.
The ultimate compliment is that you return to a place you stayed before when you came to St. Louis. That was exactly what we did as we had enjoyed the Ullrich on an earlier visit and we couldn't wait to make it our destination to celebrate my husband's birthday weekend. The suite is absolutely charming and Rachel and Shannon consider every detail to make the stay special...breakfast items, snacks, kitchen utensils, coffee beans, teas, beverages. We loved the location and made frequent jaunts via Compton Avenue to downtown and midtown destinations. We kept saying, "I could just move in and live here, it is so comfortable and inviting!" It bears repeating that we will definitely book our stay here the next time we come to explore the venues of St. Louis. The Ullrich Suite is outstanding!
Met by the owner and head of housekeeping who were most helpful in guiding us for fun, family activities. The apartment is well-done and the thoughtful treats were most appreciated. Can't imagine coming back to St. Louis and not staying with the Shannon sisters....really a perfect place!
The apartment is very well appointed with a very comfortable bed, nice and soft linens and yummy food items. The place is spotless which is my number 1 priority. The management is extremely nice. They go out of their way to make me happy. I have used SF Shannon's various apartments for my trips to St. Louis several times and they are my "go to" business for finding a home away from home in St. Louis.
Our stay at the Ullrich Suite in St. Louis was just wonderful! We loved the charm of the suite, and the location, and with a few restuarants speckled here and there! It was so much nicer than staying in a Hotel, for our taste. We look forward to visiting the other suites that you have to offer as well!
This is such a lovely suite. Live like a local!
Karen and Rachel are SO generous. They had beer, bread,eggs,milk,crackers,coffee,fruit and chocolate upon arrival. Karen and Rachel have set the bar very high for other owners. The home is in an excellent location, close to Botanical gardens, parks, restaurants, coffee cafes and so much more. Why would anyone stay in a hotel when you can stay in this beautiful historical building. Just simply loved it!
This is our "Home Away From Home". We have stayed here whenever we visit our family in St. Louis and it has always been a pleasure. Love the location, the luxury provided by the owners.
This is a fabulous place! My son and I stayed here while attending the 2015 wrestling NCAA at the Scottrade center which was about 3 miles from there. The rental was very clean, well appointed, area felt safe, and most of all the sister team were so very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. They were true professionals. Walking into the rental you can see how much they pay attention to detail. An added bonus is that they do leave some breakfast foods and snacks for you to enjoy during your stay. The kitchen is fully equipped so that if you want to stay in and cook you will not have an issue. I would recommend this rental highly. Being from NYC we thought that we would be walking around to different areas in St.Louis. We did walk to the Arch although I would not have done that again. Like I said the area that the rental is in felt safe, but going off to other streets did not have the same feel. We learned that in order to really enjoy St. Louis you need to rent a car. Public transportation was recommended to us, but we felt more comfortable renting a car. Cab rides will become to costly. That is my only regret is that we didn't get a rental car from the beginning of the trip. We ate at some amazing places! The Shaved Duck, Dressels Public House, Blues City Deli, and The Fountain on Locust were great finds. St Louis is a great city with many different areas to explore. Definitely do your research and rent a car! I look forward to visiting St Louis again and staying here or one of the other rentals that these sisters maintain.
Second time to stay with SF shannons Properties both times exceeded my expectations. The Ullrich Rooms are large bed is comfortable. Everything you need for preparing a breakfast or a snack. Would recommend for long or short stay.
Excellent location, pleasant owner and host, beautiful and comfortable accommodations.
We will definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family.
We love this location...you can walk to many restaurants and small grocery close by. Rachel is a great hostess, leaving many treats to make the stay more fun. We have stayed here before and like everything about the rental. Rachel is very open to suggestions and follows thru with requests. We would certainly stay here again!
