PB hotel design editorial

At the corner of Canal Street and Dauphine, where the French Quarter meets the Central Business District, a twelve-story Beaux-Arts palazzo that began life as the Maison Blanche department store in 1909 now carries one of hospitality's most recognizable names. The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans took over the building in 2000, preserving the facade's elaborate terracotta ornament — the deep cornice, the rusticated base, the rhythmic arcade of arched windows — while converting 452 rooms across interiors that draw on the layered material culture of Louisiana rather than generic grand-hotel convention. The public spaces carry that argument most convincingly. The lounge, visible in these images, works through coffered plasterwork ceilings, Ionic columns painted a warm grey-white, and low seating in patterned indigo velvet and woven linen — the atmosphere closer to a New Orleans gentlemen's club than a hotel lobby. The restaurant beneath its leaded skylight lantern pairs crystal branch chandeliers with slate-blue paneling and dark cherry wood floors, nailhead-trimmed leather dining chairs lending a deliberate gravity to the room. Guest rooms divide between two sensibilities: some lean into Carnival-season exuberance — magenta ikat armchairs, striped silk valances in jewel tones — while the renovated suites move toward a quieter register of brass four-poster frames, botanical wallcoverings in watercolor wash, and marble chimneypieces that acknowledge the building's age without performing it.

"My wife and I just returned from New Orleans and The Roosevelt Hotel made it a great experience. Everyone from Tyra at the front desk to Jake in the Fountain Restaurant were friendly and extremely helpful. The hotel was very clean and as others have said the rooms are spacious. A wonderful hotel stay."

"Our family stayed three nights at The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans and it was the perfect home base for exploring the city. The location on Canal Street made it easy to walk to most of the areas you’d actually want to experience in New Orleans, while still feeling like a refined retreat away from the nonstop Bourbon Street energy. One of the biggest surprises was how conveniently located the hotel was to entertainment. Saenger Theatre is just about a block away and regularly hosts major touring acts, concerts, and Broadway musicals, which added another layer to the trip. The valet process was also incredibly smooth and efficient. Whether we were heading out for nearby bayou excursions or driving to parts of the city better reached by car, getting in and out was easy and stress-free — something that really matters in a busy city like New Orleans. A major highlight of the stay was the Jeremy Davenport Lounge. The atmosphere was exquisite and felt exactly like what you hope for in a luxury New Orleans hotel experience. Jeremy Davenport’s performances completely filled the lounge with energy and elegance, making it one of our favorite nightly stops during the trip. Another underrated perk was the back exit of the hotel leading you directly toward some fantastic local food options. If you’re craving a po’boy, you won’t have to go far. And then there were the afternoon beignets near the check-in counter — absolutely worth the line every single time. We found ourselves timing our afternoons around them by the end of the stay. The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans delivered the perfect balance of luxury, convenience, live music, and authentic New Orleans charm. We would absolutely stay here again."
