Long before it was known as Central West End. Before the French settled the area, it was known reaching back as early as the 9th century. Locals, the mound-building Mississippian culture, and their inspiring sense of community, called CWE home. The traditions started nearly one-thousand years ago continue forward. In the early 1870s, homes stretched further westward from the Mississippi River. As a spirited congregation of likeminded people grew, Lindell Boulevard, bordering historic Forest Park, is now lined with extravagant mansions. As they are now a tourist attraction, all carry forward a rich history of community.Currently, Central West End is a bustling neighborhood with tree-lined streets and historic homes. Locals continue to extend a warm welcome to all visiting cultures. The architectural experience is an eclectic array of restaurants, retail, breathtaking designs, and tourist attractions. The CWE embraces countless visitors from all over the world. For locals and visitors alike, as it is a well-known tradition, the neighborhood hosts largely attended annual events. To name a few, the Central West End Art Fair & Taste Festival in the summer, Halloween festivities in fall, City Walks in the spring. These celebrations are a token of the neighborhood but, what truly defines the Central West End, beyond the breathtaking visual experience, is and always will be the unmatched sense of community. Thus, the reason why Central West End has the title “Nation's top 10 neighborhoods.” Our property fits perfectly. It aligns with an ever-transforming community. Holiday Inn Express maintains warmth, tradition, and elegance. From the beginning, the Bel Air Motel was designed as a unique, luxurious, resort-style, mid-century masterpiece. We continue to share that vision and maintain its historical integrity. The surrounding neighborhood, the hotel, all is a gathering place, a welcoming home within a most inviting, culturally diverse community. Green Sustainability
