The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis

"What a fantastic experience!! This year was my 25th anniversary with my beautiful wife. A couple months ago we celebrated with a European trip but we still wanted to do something on our actual anniversary. We decided to stay a night at the Ritz and enjoy dinner. Upon arriving, this staff was so gracious and all congratulated us on our anniversary. They upgraded our room and provided champagne with a nice note. These little touches went a long way and we were very appreciative. It’s nice to see that kind of hospitality is still around. Thank you to the full staff at Ritz STL. Well done!"

"My husband and I recently stayed at the St. Louis Ritz to celebrate our 14 year anniversary and between the beautiful aesthetic of the hotel, the legendary Spa and the outstanding staff, our stay was so very beautiful and memorable. We love to travel somewhere new every year for our anniversary and this year the vibe we wanted was more quiet and restful, to enjoy some nice meals and have a slow weekend together and this one was perfect. From the moment we walked in, Faith at Reception greeted us with the friendliest smile and accommodated us right away. Her warmth and positive energy was palpable! A very special thanks to Kadir and Kenna at the front desk, who made our anniversary stay even more special with an elegant room upgrade- an unexpected gift that was so enjoyed and appreciated! When we arrived at our room, we found a handwritten welcome card and chocolate covered strawberries from Terrence at Guest Relations- such a nice detail. Almina was our lovely housekeeper who tended to our room and provided extra tea, water bottles when requested and anticipated our needs and left extra replacements of items we used. Having worked in professional housekeeping myself, I appreciate this part of the hard working staff all the more and recognize that they are the glue that keeps these places together. Thank you to Almina and her colleagues! If you opt to take advantage of the Club Lounge, hopefully you will have the pleasure of having Emma, Suada and Michael as your hosts. They provided excellent hospitality while we enjoyed the lounge. We especially loved the raspberry cheesecake and the breakfast. Emma made my husband a nice Old Fashioned and Michael provided me with a non alcoholic beer, which is a thoughtful detail to have on hand for the sober crowd. Now to the highlight- a SPECIAL shout out to Julia (who welcomed us in with such hospitality) and Tiffany at the Spa!! Wow, there’s a reason this particular Ritz Carlton is so highly ranked in the U.S. for their incredible reputation, skilled therapists and service at the Spa! The spa is sparkling clean, steam room and sauna are relaxing and all amenities are well stocked. But if you are staying here from out of town or even live local- be sure to give yourself or a loved one the gift of the massage of a lifetime from Tiffany Decker! She is a true stand out massage therapist. She is incredibly talented at providing both the strength and stamina required to bring relief to the drudgery of daily pain and tension through her massage. This coupled with her calm, positive energy and intuitive understanding of the inner workings of the mind-body connection made for the most wonderfully healing massage experience we’ve ever had. We’ve had a couples massage at the 5 star Xcaret Arte resort Spa in Mexico, an incredibly, incredibly beautiful eco forward resort. I mean no disrespect to Arte- The surroundings and service were top notch, Ritz-Carlton tier, yet the massage that I received left much to be desired, even with polite feedback and request for variation during the massage. After the experience of my constant deep pain and tension literally melting away layer by layer until I emerged whole and reset after just one appointment with Tiffany (with no need to have to awkwardly request or explain during my massage what most needed attention), I had to write in this review so others may take advantage of this local gem of a professional in this beautiful representation of the Ritz-Carlton standard. This is one you don’t want to overlook!"

"It’s the Ritz, you know what you’re getting. Top tier food, service and comfort. Rooms are large, bathrooms are well laid out and everything is clean and relaxing. Lobby provides plenty of space to get work done and there is numerous places to grab a drink or bite to eat within walking distance. Thank you for the service, and stay. Looking forward to coming back."

"I was fortunate to be able to attend a holiday brunch here. The food was fantastic. Mahi-mahi, crispy bacon, prime rib, fritatta - delicious variety of dishes. There was enough staff to make sure coffee, juice, and water were filled frequently. The bartenders were lovely. There were enough bar stations that there weren't long lines for a drink. Everything about this venue was superb."
