Top New Orleans Central Business District Hotel Reviews

The Jung Hotel and Residences

10/10 Excellent

"I was there for four days. The room was nice and comfortable. My only thing was the shower. There was no door (only half of one) and no shower curtain, so I had to put a towel down to keep the water from getting on the floor. The staff were very nice and very helpful. I never had to wait long for my truck, five minutes at most. The valets were awesome! If I ever go back to New Orleans, I will definitely stay here! It was a wonderful experience!"

The Westin New Orleans

10/10 Excellent

"This is the place to stay if you're coming to New Orleans to access the New Orleans Passport Center. It's in a conjoined building attached to the hotel and you barely need to walk outside from the hotel to access it. It's also convenient to the French Quarter and the streetcar routes. The amenities in the Expedia package, which included daily passes for the streetcars and the guided tour of the French quarter, were appreciated. The Observatory 11 bar provides a great view of the river. The breakfast prices were, frankly, quite high, although the food was quite good but there are other breakfast places close by. Overall, we were happy with our stay there."

The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans

8/10 Good

"Beautiful room and the Club Level is well worth the added cost for the included food and alcoholic beverages. But, that's where it ends. In our premium, extra cost room the bathroom sliding/barn door's latch was broken & wouldn't stay closed. The whole trip we had to shove a washcloth under it to keep the door from sliding open when closed. That's embarrassing. The 2nd low point, & it was truly a massive low was a family with 1 or 2 young kids crammed into one room across the hall from us. They were loud, at ALL hours. Singing, playing the TV at full blast, letting their kid run & scream up & down the hallway, etc. We could clearly hear all of this in our room with the door closed. They didn't look like people who usually stay at hotels like the Ritz, so maybe they didn't know acting like that in a hotel, especially a luxury hotel is frowned upon? It was infuriating & unfortunately, diminished the whole experience. By the 2nd day, we were at our wits' end & called the front desk. In a premium room, on the premium floor at a luxury hotel this shouldn't happen. We were surprised the Ritz-Carlton allows children under 12 in their Club Level rooms. Those rooms should have restrictions, like maximum number of people per room & no kids to ensure guests paying that premium have the kind of stay that meets the expectations set by the Ritz-Carlton's own room descriptions."
