My family and I had an amazing stay in The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans. After an unfortunate mishap where we were unable to fly to Italy, we pivoted at the very last minute and decided to go to New Orleans. Kiara (sp?) at the front desk was so warm and welcoming. We told her about our situation and she immediately did everything she could to make us feel comfortable. She was so sweet. On our first evening she sent a bottle of champagne and a charcuterie board to our room, along with a hand written note! What a beautiful touch! Our daughters were also given delicious sweets in their room. The service we received from Kiara and the whole Ritz Carlton staff was exceptional! In addition to the great service, we also loved the restaurant and the lounge, including the incredible live music that they offered. The location couldn't be better. One side of the building opens directly into the French Quarter (without it being too close to all of the action on Bourbon Street to be too noisy) and the other side of the hotel lets you out onto the city side where you could shop and enjoy other restaurants. Needless to say, due in large part to the Ritz’s staff and incredible accommodations, our trip exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely be returning to The Ritz-Carlton.
