Historical Traveller Reviews of The Ritz Carlton New Orleans Hotel
Comfort!!
from A TripAdvisor MemberSkip the restaurant, they had great service but food was expensive and not all that great.
Charming and Elegant
from A TripAdvisor MemberNot the best.....
from A TripAdvisor MemberA caveat, the reason we stayed at the Ritz on our Thanksgiving trip was that we found an incredible deal for $99 a night until the weekend nights where the rates raised to $199 - but overall about $130 a night which is hard to beat in New Orleans.
Overall, the stay was worth $130 a night but if we were paying full price (+$200) we would have been sorely disappointed. The hotel delivered on the large details (i.e. good staff, upscale rooms) but missed the small things that other upscale chains (i.e. other Ritzs, 'W's and Hilton) don't.
To be brief, the taxi situation was horrible with a half hour wait each time a taxi was needed (the doormen always seemed surprised anyone would need a taxi). Another time we called to order a taxi the previous night to be told that calling a taxi would not be an issue the next morning at 5 am (for an early flight), we called again that morning before we left the room (so they'd be ready). When we arrived downstairs we were met with confusion (no one was aware we needed a taxi) plus the streets in front of the hotel had been closed off so taxis could not even come to the hotel - we ended up calling one specifically and making our flight. In addition, the hotel failed to successfully perform a wake up call (we used the in room alarm clock as back up so it worked out). Also, if you do stay here, ask for a quiet room (not facing Canal Street) as sirens, bass of cars were deafening during the Weekend evenings (until 4 am).
One other note, this was a big weekend with a huge football game (30,000+ fans in town) but in New Orleans big weekends are normal.
Again, the staff was great (i.e. front desk, concierge) and the rooms were nice (marble bathrooms, fluff beds) and for $130 a great deal - but not what we've come to expect from other hotels in the chain.
Loved it
from sugarlandthe ritz-carlton new orleans was lovely
from A TripAdvisor Memberbathroom was nice. modern and clean but luxurious. this hotel was expensive but so is every other decent hotel in town. don't chance staying someplace else. when i got to town and saw the other comparable priced hotels i was SO glad we chose the ritz! the staff was extra helpfull and friendly. the sunday jazz brunch was not great and was expensive. that was the only drawback i found. skip the jazz brunch and go to brennen's insted.
Pampered at the Ritz
from lja9799Perfect Anniversary
from A TripAdvisor MemberAfter a day of sightseeing we returned to find chocolate covered strawberries and an anniversary card waiting for us. After dinner we returned to find our bed turned down with chocolates and a full bucket of ice standing by. Our request for breakfast in bed instead of downstairs was easily accomodated as was our request for early check in the day before because the timing of our spa services. Would definitely return again!
Loved the Ritz
from A TripAdvisor MemberGreat hotel!!
from A TripAdvisor MemberLoved the Ritz
from A TripAdvisor Memberbeautiful hotel. Triple sheets and down filled blankets. It was not
very far from Bourbon St. Walking distance from all the attractions
farmers market, riverwalk,casino. We had a great time. One thing to
mention is parking fees 25.00 a night. Another thing is you're tipping
every time you turn around.
Top Local Tips for New Orleans
Cochon Great new restaurant. Ask the concierge. Authentic CAJUN, not creole (like most of New Orleans).
Acme Oyster House We ate there twice in 2 days with different friends that "had" to go there. Standing in line on a urine soaked street for fried food and a 30 minute meal that was nothing special is not my idea of enjoyable. You can get great oysters at dozens of places and the po'boy was nothing exceptional.
A FEMALE SENATORS REVIEW OF THE RITZ Do not stay at the ritz, it is not safe escpecially for a single woman traveling alone, the hotel and the surrounding area is rampant with crime and hotel security is corrupt.
