The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans
A quintessential NOLA hideaway
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

As you step into the grand, marble-clad lobby of Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans, you’ll notice a sweet fragrance that blankets the air. No, it’s not the towering flower display, it’s actually the intoxicating aroma of Southern magnolia, the hotel’s signature scent that welcomes you with an air of fragrant refinery.
Formally the Maison Blanche department store, this Beaux Arts building emits true antebellum charm.
Just off the lobby lies a large courtyard, which epitomizes all things New Orleans: lush leafy plants, a gazebo and gurgling fountain — certainly a quintessential spot for slowly sipping a Sazerac or clinking French 75s. Throw in the guest rooms and suites that feel like spaces within a fine
New Orleans mansion and the opportunity to soak in the jazz of legend Jeremy Davenport at his eponymous lounge, and this property embodies everything lovely about the magical Crescent City.
