The Ritz-Carlton, St.Louis is an elegant hotel located in the city’s trendy arts and garden district of Clayton. The vibrant neighborhood, just west of Downtown, plays host to some of St. Louis’ best eateries, museums, independent galleries and the lush expanse of Forest Park. It also features the city’s business district.

With such an eclectic mix, the recently renovated 300-room and suite hotel attracts a wide range of guests, from families drawn by the specialized kids programs to business travelers utilizing the hotel’s 30,000 sq ft of meetings and events space.

On arrival, the classic wood-paneled lobby lit by grand chandeliers delivers that instant hit of elevated Ritz-Carlton glamour, as does the Cigar Club; an exclusive bar for overnight guests and members with an extensive scotch collection. 

If you're more of an oenophile, the hotel’s Wine Room – walls lined with coveted bottlings – provides the ultimate setting for a tasting.

Dining is also an elevated fair, with two restaurants to choose from. The Lobby Lounge boasts an upscale sushi bar. Casa Don Alfonso plates up the timeless flavors of Sorrento from an open kitchen. The setting is particularly chic, adorned with marble, copper and sculpted glass leaves hanging from the ceiling.

The airy Ritz-Carlton Suite balances the elegance of a bygone era with fashionable modern touches. In the lounge, a polished baby grand piano, parquet flooring and marble fireplace sit alongside framed abstract artworks and sculptures. A nod to the locale’s thriving arts scene.

Glass double doors framed by luxe curtains in both the lounge and dining room offer views of the city’s iconic Gateway Arch. A large bedroom features a four poster bed and a walk-in closet. With two-and-a-half bathrooms, guests won’t need to share. The 2,650 sq ft suite also has a separate study and access to the hotel's two-story Ritz-Carlton Club.
