The Arty Hotel Ignacio Opens in St. Louis

Where: 411 Olive St. [map], St. Louis, MO, United States, 63103

You might not picture St. Louis as a hotbed of art, but there's a lot of creative juice flowing in the city and the newly opened Hotel Ignacio wants to take advantage of it by offering a fun arty boutique hotel.

The 49-room hotel is in the midtown Grand Center arts district of the city, across from Saint Louis University and steps from the Fox Theatre. The hotel tries to blend it in this artistic environs by giving each room an artsy spin. A Plexiglas installation hangs above each bed that explores themes such as fine art, performing arts, architecture or music.

At Least One Drury Inn *Not* Hating on HotelChatter

[UPDATE 12.28.07: Drury Inn's Tech Services employee emailed us to say that Drury does not block HotelChatter.com or Jaunted.com. However, in the Drury Inn business centers there is a Net Nanny software installed on the computers which can be "overzealous" at times and may have blocked HotelChatter.com. If it did, it was not intentional.]

We recently heard a rumor that some Drury Inns were blocking access to HotelChatter. We certainly wouldn't appreciate that, particularly when we've praised the chain for offering no-nonsense, free WiFi.

Well our tipster had the chance to revisit one of the properties that's blocked her in the past, and as the screenshot above proves, something's changed. St. Louis Union Station Drury Inn, you're innocent of all web censoring charges for now. But we're keeping an eye on you!

Have a hotel WiFi horror story of your own? Let's hear it.
