So great stay here at the ritz Carlton , New Orleans is a crazy place for a great time , staff were very nice and very friendly after coming off of bourbon street it was great to come back to somewhere quite to sleep and rest up , would stay again for sure :-))

It's pretty pricey, but if you can swing the cost, the luxury and service provided by the Ritz Carlton is hard to beat. We stayed for a long weekend at this property on Canal Street in New Orleans and everything about it was wonderful. It is in a historic building, the old Maison Blanche department store, but other than the outside being obviously a handsome older facade, you'd never know it wasn't built to be a hotel. Lovely, generous room layout and great beds, but what sets it apart is the service. In addition to the prompt and thorough clean-up every morning, you have to nightly turn down, in which not only is the bed readied for you and soothing music turned on, but also the bathroom is tidied up and fresh towels provided. And someone to assist with every entrance and exit, every bag, every need. It doesn't get any better than this.

One of many hotels in renovated department stores on Canal St. Service is excellent. Reception is on the third floor, which actually is a good security feature- drunks can't stumble directly into the lobby from the street. Fitness center is very good, and the lobby and courtyard have nice areas to sit. Didn't eat here, or use the lounge- this is New Orleans! Recommend this hotel if you want top notch service and a very nice room. We got a good deal, and I wouldn't do it otherwise.

I have stayed in several Ritz Carlton's and this one was ok. May be simply because its NOLA party capital. There were three weddings while we were here which adds to the mediocracy. The service was great however, concierge knowledgeable and spa staff wonderful. I would stay here again but perhaps not during wedding season.
