The Ritz-Carlton Hotel In New Orleans

Where: The Ritz-Carlton in New Orleans is situated at 912 Canal Street, at the edge of the French Quarter. It is close to the Riverwalk and Convention Center.

Accomodations: The Ritz is everything you would expect it to be in a premiere luxury hotel. It has 415 Deluxe Rooms, 36 suites, 75 Club Level rooms and one Ritz-Carlton Suite. Sumptuous linens, marble baths, and Bulgari bath amenities are just some of the features that will spoil you. You can order a pet bed and a designer collar for the pup you just can't leave at home.

The Spa: Of course, the Ritz is famous for its spas, and in this 25,000 square foot pleasure palace, you can get a Voodoo Love Massage, an Essence of Magnolia Massage, or any of the Ritz's signature treatments. This award winning spa is beautiful and elegant, with gentle fountains and softly draped lighting--a destination unto itself.

Dining: Melange is the new signature restaurant, and features signature New Orleans dishes. It also features jazz music in the evenings, and a Zydeco Sunday Brunch instead of the classic Jazz brunches.

Lounges: Depending on your mood, you can relax in Lobby Lounge("On Trois"), the FQB("French Quarter Bar") where you can hear local entertainers, or the more sedate Library Lounge.
