The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans

The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans is on Canal Street. It keeps the city’s primary sights at a manageable distance, with the French Quarter a ten-minute walk from the front door.

This address is the property’s defining trait. It trades the constant noise of Jackson Square for a wider, grander thoroughfare that acts as a buffer zone rather than the center of the action. While most visitors flock to hotels nestled deep within the narrow, crowded streets of the Quarter, choosing this location means trading proximity for space. You gain the ability to step away from the density of the historic core while remaining a fifteen-minute walk from the shops at Canal Place. It is for the traveler who wants the architecture of the city without the exhaustion that comes from living inside the tourist gridlock.
