Fodor's Expert Review St. Anthony, a Luxury Collection Hotel

You too can feel like royalty in one of the city's most historic places to stay: the opulent St. Anthony transports visitors to days gone by while offering modern amenities in a great downtown location. The magnificent lobby features glittering chandeliers, stately columns, and fabrics in "St. Anthony Green," originally "Dorothy Draper" green, after the famed designer who created the then-private St. Anthony Club (now a casually elegant full bar with daily happy hour). Elegant touches of this striking green appear in the hotel's rooms and suites, which feature plush bedding, Italian marble, and gold accents. Chef Stefan Bowers and entrepreneur Andrew Goodman are behind the award-winning Rebelle, the on-site fine dining restaurant featuring premium fresh seafood and Sunday brunch. It's no wonder the St. Anthony has attracted a range of the rich and famous over the years; past guests include the likes of John Wayne, George Clooney, Olivia de Havilland, General Douglas MacArthur, the Beach Boys, and U.S. presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Lyndon B. Johnson.
