Getting from Lambert Airport to the Moonrise Hotel

via Taxicab

The Moonrise Hotel is approximately a 12 mile drive from Lambert Airport. A taxicab would cost approximately $35 excluding tip.

via Metrolink

The St. Louis Metrolink light-rail train links Lambert Airport to the Delmar Loop.

If you fly with Southwest Airlines, you’ll land at the “Lambert Airport Terminal 2” station stop; if you fly with any other airline, you’ll land at the “Lambert Airport Terminal 1” station stop. From either airport station stop, you’ll get on the Eastbound train (headed toward “Shiloh-Scott”) and take the train to the “Delmar Loop” station stop. (If you get on the train at “Lambert Airport East,” you’ll take the train 6 stops, and the ride takes 15 minutes. If you get on the train at “Lambert Airport Main,” you’ll take the train 7 stops, and the ride takes 17 minutes.)

As a general rule, the trains come every 15-20 minutes. To use the Metrolink, you can purchase a ticket (usually $3.00, but $4.00 from the Airport) from an automated machine on the platform and then validate your ticket by inserting it into the red validation machines nearby, which will stamp you ticket. Carry the stamped ticket with you aboard the train.

When you get off the train the Delmar Loop stop, you’ll have a short walk to the Moonrise Hotel. After exiting the train, walk from the platform up the stairs, and turn left at the top – you’re now on Des Peres Street. Then, after a very short walk, turn right onto Delmar Blvd, and walk a couple of blocks to the Moonrise Hotel, which will be on your right. It has a giant rotating moon on top; you can’t miss it.
