This isa terrific hotel but, in my view, not up to the 5 star standards of the Ritz Carlton. I must begin by saying I will definitely stay there again. My room was lovely and the staff was terrific. However I was very disappointed with my dinner options. The dining room was closed; not sure if it was because it was Monday or if it is being renovated. I could order from a very limited bar menu or the room service menu. Really? So not like the Ritz Carlton's I am accustomed to. I ordered a Cobb salad and a steak sandwich, hoping to end up with a Cobb salad with steak. Almost but not quite.....it was the worst Cobb salad I have ever seen and the steak was so thin and grizzly that it would have been impossible to have it served rare, as I ordered.
Having said that, my server was delightful.
The fitness center is terrific and I hope the next time I come I will have time to book a service.

I stay at this property whenever I'm in St Louis and I absolutely love it. Its one of the best Ritz's globally I think. The staff is SO KIND - they greet you, learn your name, check on you, they are just the best - and the hotel is very updated and also a great spot to entertain clients. The private dining room is an experience to be had - one of the coolest client dinners I've ever hosted was back there. Room service is fantastic and surprisingly affordable compared to just about any luxury chain.

Whenever I feel like splurging on a hotel in St Louis I stay at the Ritz. It is hands down the best accommodation the city has to offer. I have stayed in dozens of other hotels in the city on my trips to SLU, and this hotel tops them all. The lobby, the service, the lobby bar and entertainment, the neighborhood, the rooms, the club level, and the amenities are outstanding. It is tucked away off of Forest PKWY, in a charming cul-de-sac with nearby restaurants and lovely shops. The rooms are modest, but you can tell your in a Ritz Carlton by the cleanliness, the large bathrooms, and the bedding. They offer bottled water in the rooms, turn down service, and complimentary coffee in room or in lobby. It is well worth the price you pay. Most of the rooms have balconies and a nice view of the area.

My husband and I stayed in an Executive Suite in December 2012 and had a lovely stay. The room was very spacious, the bed was so comfortably and everything was perfect. We had the Sunday buffet which was great. Lots of seafood, meats and desserts.
