The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the Arch views and the 'Fresh Bleau' signature scent, but many feel the price is high for the location.
Four Seasons Hotel St Louis
$450-600/ noche
Reserva esto si You want the only heated outdoor pool in St. Louis that stays open during a blizzard.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- The year-round heated outdoor pool with Gateway Arch views
- Cinder House's South American wood-fired dining
- Rooms that feel like a modern sanctuary despite being attached to a casino
Resumen rápido: A legitimate luxury oasis awkwardly attached to the frantic energy of the Horseshoe Casino.
Reseñado por @Grateful7019: I checked in late after a chaotic travel day, and this room was exactly what I needed. The night view of the bridge is hypnotic, and honestly, nothing beats wrapping yourself in a Four Seasons robe and ordering room service. Pure bliss.
