Luxury Amenities in Short-Term Rentals: How Our St. Louis Portfolio Is Delivering Premium Returns
Across the U.S., short-term rental (STR) hosts are doubling down on luxury, and it’s paying off. From golf simulators and spa-style bathrooms to chef-inspired kitchens and designer décor, high-end amenities are increasingly driving both guest satisfaction and investment performance.
As highlighted in a recent Wall Street Journal article, STR operators are spending big to elevate the guest experience, and travelers are rewarding them with longer stays, premium bookings, and five-star reviews. The message is clear: guests aren’t just booking places to stay, they’re booking elevated experiences.
At Infinite Wealth Fund, we’re seeing this trend in action with our St. Louis short-term rental portfolio, and the results speak for themselves.
High-End Features = Higher ROI
Our luxury-focused St. Louis rentals are intentionally designed to cater to today’s experience-driven traveler. Each property is outfitted with amenities that create a memorable stay, such as:
Custom interior upgrades with modern design and premium finishes
Hot tubs and outdoor entertainment areas perfect for relaxation and socializing
Smart home technology including keyless entry, ambient lighting, and voice control
Game rooms and curated local touches that provide fun and connection to the area
These thoughtful enhancements don’t just look good...they perform. Our STR units are generating:
Higher occupancy rates
Increased average daily rates (ADR)
More repeat bookings and referrals
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and our data shows that travelers are willing to pay more, and stay longer, when luxury is part of the package.
Why It Matters to Investors
For accredited investors, these luxury enhancements are far more than cosmetic upgrades — they’re part of a calculated investment strategy built to generate outsized returns in markets with strong fundamentals.
By elevating the guest experience, our strategy is:
Increasing revenue per unit, with premium pricing and lower vacancy
Lengthening average stays, thanks to high comfort and functionality
Driving long-term property appreciation, due to quality improvements
Gaining a competitive edge, especially in crowded or regulated STR markets
In short, we’re bringing luxury-level returns to an affordable Midwestern market, creating attractive yield with lower capital entry. This model blends the benefits of strategic design, operational excellence, and long-term asset growth.
