Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis is offering a new slate of “Bonding Breaks” for meeting guests. Designed to inspire and forge relationships, these activities, ranging from canoeing on the Mississippi to whiskey and wine tastings, can be tailored to suit the individual needs of each client.
For a bird’s eye view of St. Louis, meeting guests can alternatively enjoy a helicopter ride, taking in everything from the Gateway Arch and Mississippi River to Forest Park and the Missouri Botanical Garden. The tours board in front of the Gateway Arch, and the hotel can pack gourmet boxed meals or snacks to enjoy in the park before or after.
Local outfitter Big Muddy Adventures lets guests board a voyager canoe and paddle past St. Louis’ landmark bridges, historic architecture and Gateway Arch while floating down the Mississippi River. There are many options for fully guided river trips, from hour-long paddles to longer journeys that include stopping on an island for a picnic lunch.
The hotel also offers “Bonding Break” choices that leverage the hotel’s amenities and the talents of its culinary and sommelier team.
Another option is the “Tasting Experience” where the hotel’s team of sommeliers can lead guests in a wine or spirits tasting. The experience includes a formal tasting of four selections, and planners can choose the wine varietals or opt for a spirits tasting of whiskey, gin or tequila. The sommelier guides guests with tasting notes and knowledge, and a food pairing also accompanies each selection. Groups can additionally learn how to make the perfect the cocktail with expert tips from a professional mixologist. The hotel’s bar supervisor can lead a group through shaking, stirring and mastering the right balance of ingredients for a variety of classic cocktails. Guests will learn a few insider tricks they can use to impress when tending bar at home.
The Topgolf Swing Suite, just off the lobby on the hotel’s eighth floor, offers a clubby ambiance with plush leather lounge seating, a bar and access to the adjacent library. This interactive space has two simulator bays with golf and many other video games to play on a big screen. It is an entertaining group experience paired with a range of menu options prepared by the hotel’s culinary team.
Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis is located just steps from the Gateway Arch and the banks of the Mississippi River, offering 20,000 square feet of meeting space and 200 newly refreshed guestrooms and suites. The Sky Terrace on the hotel’s eighth floor offers a resort-style heated pool surrounded by private cabanas, a hot tub and a games deck. Dining options include Cinder House restaurant and the al fresco Cinder Bar. The spa offers 12 treatment rooms and a lounge with views of the Arch, while the 24-hour fitness center offers cardio machines, free weights, and more.
