Cinder House is drop-dead gorgeous. Divided into separate restaurant and lounge spaces, it's outfitted in leather and velvet in hues of tan and sapphire blue, turquoise and earth-tone marble and craggy, driftwood-style sculptures. Architectural Digest recently named it the most beautiful bar in Missouri. It could be a plain white box, however, and earn that distinction based on the view alone: Occupying the hotel's eighth floor, Cinder House has a southern-facing, bird's eye view of the Arch. It's one of the best views in the city. When the sun goes down, light sparkles off the windows. As you look out across the outdoor patio's glittering fire and water features, you feel like you are in a diamond-encrusted dream.

**Fall dining on the patio of Cinder House offers all the season's best flavors to sip and dine on, along with the impressive views of the Gateway Arch and city skyline. There are heaters tucked in the awning above the tables, and guests can borrow cozy wraps, which the restaurant keeps on hand to ensure comfortable dining. Try several new seasonal menu items, including steak tartar, grilled octopus, a beet and fig salad, scallops, roasted celery root soup, mango cheesecake and dulce mousse.
