Hotels in St. Louisa traditional luxury business hotel in Clayton
8.5/10
Warm service and spacious rooms make this a strong Clayton base, despite some dated details.
The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis is a traditional luxury hotel in Clayton, not downtown St. Louis. It’s a strong pick for travelers who value attentive staff, generous rooms and restaurants within walking distance. Recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the welcoming service, cleanliness and comfortable rooms; Casa Don Alfonso also earns enthusiastic mentions. The Lobby Lounge’s 2024 renovation gives the public spaces a fresher feel.
The reservations are mostly about luxury expectations: several recent guests describe aging carpets or maintenance details that need attention, even while praising the staff. There’s no swimming pool, and downtown sightseeing requires a separate journey. Parking and breakfast cost extra, while Club Lounge access depends on your booking. We’d choose it for Clayton business or Washington University visits, but skip it if a pool or consistently contemporary interiors are essential.
