Choosing a base

Midtown: Central nightlife, restaurants, walkable streets and easier access to downtown and museums. Museum District: Closest to major museums, Hermann Park and family-friendly attractions. The Heights: Quieter, charming shops and good local dining; a more residential base with character.
