The hype
Travelers adore the Southern hospitality and the Club Level food presentations, but many note the standard rooms feel a bit tight.
The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans
$300-600+ / nit
Reserva-ho si You want the quintessential New Orleans luxury experience with a side of live jazz and a refuge from the Bourbon Street chaos.
Per Què Agrada Tant
- The 'hotel within a hotel' Club Level experience is widely considered one of the best in the U.S.
- Jeremy Davenport's live jazz residency in the lounge is a local institution.
- Located on the edge of the French Quarter—close enough to walk, far enough to sleep.
Vista ràpida: It’s a grand, old-school dame that charges a premium for its history and Club Level, but standard rooms can feel a bit small and dated for the price tag.
Revisat per @kellicarpenter: I checked into the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans and honestly, the Club Level suite is worth the splurge. The teal and gold decor is stunning, and the soaking tub was the highlight of my trip. It feels like a private palace.
