Tom Uhlenbrock has been roaming the Midwest for eons, looking for rivers to float, wineries to visit, trails to hike, saloons to haunt, cozy places to stay. Let's share, and advice is free. 
Giovanni’s is much better than the Four Seasons Hotel. These people are crazy.
Steve, didn’t know you could spend the night at Giovanni’s. 5 diamond hotel and 4 diamond restaurant - can’t compare the two.
Nice to know that all the great places to dine/stay are in the inner city as opposed to the burbs. There is hope for St. Louis yet.
What happen to Franco’s anad Niche? Their meals were fantastic!!
Nirav - I must have read that wrong. I thougth they were saying the Restaurant at Four Seasons. Anyway, yes, I’d rather spend the night at Giovanni’s than at Four Seasons, duh.
I’m assuming this list is strictly for hotels and restaurants located within the city itself? Because for Paul Manno’s Cafe to not be on the list is ridiculous, but if this is limited to only the City, then I understand.
What about Caleco’s downtown? Four diamonds easy. I would also give four diamonds to Hrabosky’s and Vito’s. As for hotels, I don’t stay in St. Louis hotels too often and I am not sure there are any other five diamond hotels besides the 4 Seasons but I know the Millenium hotel with that cool revolving restaurant is at least four diamonds just for the shape of the building alone. I would also give the restaurant four diamonds now that I think of it.
Giovanni’s is not a hotel but a four diamond restaurant…
