Celeste of St Paul

My wife and I spent a weekend staycation up from Rochester We left rested and connected with much owed to both the happy and welcoming staff and the beautiful and unique hotel The Celeste is a happy place, very clean and has the best staff We enjoyed a first night drink and talk in the lobby Bar Our room had a great view of the capital The breakfasts and coffee were top notch I even enjoyed a quick workout in the small but enough gym Did I mention how clean everything was?

I loved the old world charm of the building. It felt like we were stepping back in time. And, yet, everything was modern and up to date in the bathrooms, etc. The daily breakfast was simple, but exactly what we needed.

I recommend getting Air Tags on the luggage carts or have a specific place where a guest can find them--They were hard to find for both the guest & the reception workers. They need better quality facial tissue in the bathrooms. The lobby service was top-notch & the rooms & bathrooms are quite spacious. The free breakfast was well beyond the typical "continental" breakfast--It was high quality & tasty. Ramp parking is available next door--just a 1/4 block from the hotel side ground-floor. entrance.

Absolutely stunning view on the 6th floor facing the State Capitol.

I loved the interior style. It was a good combination of vintage and modern. Was also within walking distance of the arena that I was there for.

Disclaimer that I didn't stay here! I'm leaving a review for the misleading pricing on the website and the customer service. The website showed the price for my dates was $845 "including fees," however, when I went to book it, the price had not in fact included all fees and the price was now $987. When I called to ask why, the receptionist was extremely rude. I understand that she is not the website designer, but there was no reason to be short with me when I was trying to book a stay.

The uniqueness of the building, rooms, and its history is its best marketing feature. Being in an old convent with most of the original features still intact is great. The updates to each room are modern, and they do a great job of highlighting the individuality of each room. The beds and pillows are comfortable, and the towels are nice and large. Parking can be a little difficult, but the ramp directly behind the property is super convenient. Proximity to bars, restaurants, and entertainment (Fitzgerald Theater & Grand Casino Arena) is easily walkable.

Great room within walking distance of many things in downtown St Paul. The historic room was clean and had plenty of space.

Charming hotel, great vibe and excellent location next to the Fitzgerald Theater. Loved being able to open the doors to the mini balcony.

The breakfast was good. The location was good and the the building was beautiful.

Had a great stay, would stay again. Only reason why I did 4 stars for sleep was the heater/ac in the room started to make this odd clicking noise that didn’t stop all night. Other than that, comfortable bed, very clean all around and beautiful interior design of original woodwork. Location was a perfect spot for us, was a 5 minute walk to The Palace theatre which was the concert venue we went to. Some of the homeless/drug addicts were a bit sketchy but no one bothered us.

Close to downtown St. Paul , walking distance to hockey arena and many restaurants and shops. Very unique hotel , creaky and squeaky floors add to the history of the hotel. The bar and bartender were top notch . Drinks were well made and reasonable priced.

I loved the friendly staff and good breakfast

The service was amazing and the hotel was clean. We stayed here for a hockey game and it was a ten minute walk. Would highly recommend.
