History
The site along the Mississippi River waterfront in downtown St. Louis has been associated with the idea of gateway and arrival since the city was founded as a French fur-trading post in 1764. The Gateway Arch National Park, which the hotel faces directly across a short stretch of parkland, memorializes the city's role as the literal gateway to the American West — the starting point for the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1804 and the departure point for hundreds of thousands of westward-moving settlers throughout the nineteenth century. The Old Courthouse beside the Arch is where the first two trials in the Dred Scott case were heard, making the view from the Four Seasons' guest rooms a direct sightline to some of the most contested legal and moral ground in American history.
Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis opened in February 2008 in a 19-story glass building that occupies floors above Horseshoe St. Louis Casino, now operated by Caesars Entertainment — an unusual vertical integration that places a luxury hotel directly above an active casino floor. The building's exterior is wrapped in a 650-foot LED light installation capable of producing up to 16 million color combinations, making the tower one of the most recognizable elements of the downtown St. Louis nighttime skyline, visible from the Arch grounds and from across the river in Illinois. The integration with the casino created an amenity model unique in the Four Seasons portfolio: hotel guests have direct access to casino entertainment and venue spaces, while the hotel maintains its own entirely separate lobby, pool, and service standards.
The most significant recent development came in 2024, when Gordon Ramsay's culinary partnership launched Ramsay's Kitchen on the hotel's eighth-floor Sky Lobby, one of the celebrity chef's most prominent North American restaurant openings. The 250-plus-seat restaurant occupies a prime position overlooking both the Gateway Arch and the Mississippi River, with the connected RK Bar extending the program to an outdoor rooftop setting. The arrival of Ramsay's Kitchen reflected both the hotel's ambitions and St. Louis's evolving restaurant culture, bringing international culinary celebrity to a waterfront address that has always understood itself as a landmark.
The setting
Situated on the banks of the Mississippi River in downtown St. Louis, the hotel sits steps from the Gateway Arch National Park, Busch Stadium, and the Old Courthouse. The building's exterior features a 650-foot glass light box capable of producing up to 16 million LED colors.
