St Louis Romantic Splurge

St. Louis is a wonderful city for a romantic getaway! Stay in the heart of downtown and you can enjoy strolling hand in hand to the theater, restaurants or the riverfront. If you have a car an entire day can be spent at Forest Park before taking in a live show at the Muny. Or just order room service and spend a day in a magnificent hotel room.

Omni Majestic Hotel
Downtown St. Louis' only boutique hotel. Extraordinary personal customer service; I had the feeling of being in a large bed & breakfast, not a chain hotel. Splurge on the Ambassador Suite- two room splendor with a comfortable king size bed, sitting room, living area and two bathrooms (one with a jacuzzi tub).

Dominic's on the Hill
One of the best Italian restaurants in the country, Dominic's has been the place for romance for over 40 years. Open for dinner only, be sure to bring a jacket (if you're a man) and a dress or business casual if you're a lady. The entrees average about $30 each, but the exquisite preparation and excellent wine list make every dollar ... More >

The Gateway Arch is incredible in the evening.

St. Louis Carriage Company
A horsedrawn carriage ride is romantic any time of the year, but especially in the fall or late spring when there is still a slight nip in the air and you can cuddle under the blanket with your sweetie. Have a carriage pick you up at your hotel- or get one without reservations in front of The Old Spaghetti Factory or Adam's Mark Hotel.

Gateway Riverboat Cruises
Relive the days of riverboats cruising the Mississippi with a romantic dinner followed by dancing to live music. The Gateway Arch is incredible in the evening. Or finish your romantic weekend with a magnificent Sunday brunch on board the Tom Sawyer or Becky Thatcher.

The oldest and largest outdoor musical theater in America in beautiful Forest Park. Reserve your seats or take a chance at getting two of the 1500 free seats (in the last nine rows) at every performance.
Open for dinner only, be sure to bring a jacket (if you're a man) and a dress or business casual if you're a lady.
