Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis
The Four Seasons name means luxury, and the hotel on the St. Louis riverfront lives up to that standard. Its 200 rooms, located from the ninth to the 19th floors of the building, offer views of either the Mississippi River or the Arch and city. The guest rooms exude a contemporary ambiance with a neutral decor and a marble bath with a separate rain shower and deep-soaking tub, along with an LCD television in the mirror. Want to be pampered? Your bed's down duvet and pillows make for a luxurious sleep, and twice-a-day maid service keeps everything neat. The on-site restaurant Cielo offers upscale Italian dining both indoors and al fresco, with views of the Mississippi and the Arch, and it serves breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, along with brunch on the weekends. And if the Lumiere Place casino holds a place on your agenda, it occupies the lower floors of the Four Seasons.
