The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis Introduces Picnic in the Park
The weekend overnight experience allows guests to enjoy sumptuous accommodations, a coveted setting just minutes from Forest Park, and a memorable picnic to enjoy in the setting of this spectacular park.

A lush oasis of waterways, lawns, gardens, museums and entertainment activities, Forest Park is located 1.5 miles from The Ritz-Carlton – making it a fun bike ride or a quick drive from the hotel and the perfect destination for a day of leisure. Forest Park is said to offer more green space than New York's Central Park and is the beloved home of The Muny amphitheater, Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri History Museum, St. Louis Zoo and St. Louis Science Center, along with recreational opportunities for romantic picnics and walks, boating, seasonal ice skating, jogging, bicycling and golf.

Picnic in the Park allows guests not only to experience the magical setting of the park and the hotel's inviting Clayton surroundings, but also to enjoy leisure time at The Ritz-Carlton, taking advantage of its beautiful new Fitness Center and spa treatment offering. The package's included picnic basket is luxuriously stocked with artisanal cheese and charcuterie, shrimp cocktails, sliced watermelon with fresh mint, cucumber and heirloom tomato salad, yogurt pound cake, chocolate-dipped strawberries, (optional) wine and more.
