Our History

Quality. Value. Consistency. These principles have guided Drury Hotels since 1973, when the Drury brothers opened the first Drury-brand hotel in Sikeston, Missouri. 

The Drury brothers grew up in Kelso, a small town in the boot heel of Missouri. Learning from their hard-working and dedicated father, Lambert, they started by doing local ornamental and plastering work. First some tile jobs, then some small construction jobs. They always focused on quality, service, innovation and value. 

Their work ethic and determination made their reputation grow – which, in turn, helped turn a venture into a business, and they began working on service stations, churches ... and then hotels. Since then, the Drury family has created a hotel system known for customer service and satisfaction – from a simple friendly smile, to free hot breakfast, to free hot food and cold beverages at the 5:30 Kickback®, to free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel – the Drury brothers learned to give their guests more than expected. The Extras Aren’t Extra®. 

From a few Drury brothers in the boot heel of Missouri to a company with more than 150 hotels in 25 states, Drury Hotels takes great pride in welcoming our guests just like we do our own family. 

Our Brands

Our primary brand is Drury Inn & Suites, which offers our guests a choice of standard or king deluxe rooms, as well as two-room suites. And when we say two rooms, we mean it – our two-room suites are able to be divided into two separate areas. Other Drury brands include Drury Inn, Drury Plaza and Pear Tree Inn by Drury.
