Ritz-Carlton New Orleans

One of the positive effects of Katrina, is that most of the hotels in New Orleans took the opportunity to completely upgrade their properties. As a result, there are fresh new hotel rooms, lobbies and meeting space at every turn. In fact, the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans was recently named to Conde Nast Traveler U.K.’s hot list of the best 65 new hotels in the world. Only eight hotels in the U.S. made the list! Says Conde Nast, “They have plumped up the hotel's luxury quotient by upgrading the already palatial spa and enlarging and polishing the already stellar staff.” Located in the 1909 Maison Blanche, one of downtown's most famous buildings, the hotel is a visual and emotional anchor for New Orleans, open to commercial Canal Street on the front and the French Quarter at the back.
