Award-winning historic hotel along the Mississippi River
Themed Rooms & Suites
The St James Hotel offers 61 guestrooms and suites, each named after Mississippi riverboats such as the Dixie and the Moonbeam. Some rooms provide views of the Mississippi River from bay windows, while others are located in the original 1875 Victorian-era wing with historic decor. All accommodations include luxury bedding, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms with bathrobes and free toiletries, but no mini-fridges or microwaves are provided.
On-Site Dining
The hotel houses two dining venues: Scarlet Kitchen & Bar, which serves breakfast and dinner with locally sourced ingredients, and The Port, a casual bar offering signature cocktails and a menu of burgers and pub fare. The Scarlet Kitchen has received praise for its short rib benedict and elegant river-view seating. The Port features a fireplace and outdoor seating, and the bar staff are noted for remembering guests' drink orders.
