Fodor's Expert Review Ritz-Carlton New Orleans
921 Canal St., New Orleans, Louisiana, 70112, USA Fodor's Choice
One of the city's most regal hotels sits on Canal Street, with luxurious rooms and suites occupying what was once the Maison Blanche department store. Rooms are furnished with local art and antiques, feature oversize marble bathrooms and plush linens, and are within walking distance of most attractions and minutes from the Convention Center. Rooms on the club floor come with a concierge, a private lounge with fireplaces and snacks, and terrific city views. The spa regularly tops lists as one of the best in the country. Plan to spend at least one evening soaking up the sounds of Grammy-nominated musician Jeremy Davenport in the Davenport Lounge.

- central location
- afternoon tea here is one of the most civilized traditions in the city
CONS
- sometimes feels like a chain
- rates are among the highest in town
- Internet speed inconsistent
