The Coral Court Motel can undeniably be grouped with The Munger Moss and Blue Swallow, as an iconic Route 66 landmark motels. However, The Coral Court Motel is long gone from the suburbs of St. Louis.
John Carr opened The Coral Court in 1942, during the US World War II mobilization effort. The motel had an unusual art deco design and each room had an adjacent garage for travelers to park their automobile.
