New Orleans is undeniably one of the best cities in the United States for a city break. With heady decadence, spend days feasting at renowned Southern restaurants, listening to Jazz, or partying the night away! This is a fun loving city which also boasts beautiful historic architecture and plenty of museums and galleries for more traditional sightseeing. Many of the best five star hotels in New Orleans are set in converted historic buildings and are particularly memorable for their grand architecture. Our experts have scanned the city to provide a guide of the best options based on their design, location, amenities and (of course) that famed Southern hospitality.
For the location

-
Ritz Carlton New Orleans is a grand stately hotel offering a prime position on the edge of the city's historic French Quarter, and just a stroll from the restaurants and attractions of downtown and CBD. Take advantage of the hotel's fine dining, wonderfully indulgent rooms, and full-service spa as you dip in and out of the property between sightseeing.
-
Windsor Court Hotel is another option set on the outskirts of the French Quarter. Despite the 300+ rooms and suites, this hotel has an intimate feel with stand out service and none of that replicated chain feel. Interiors are elegant and traditional and boast an impressive British old master art collection. A grown up choice.
For families

-
The Roosevelt is an historic five-star set in an imposing building, well-positioned in the CBD. Interiors are grand with high ceilings and chandeliers, while rooms are well-appointed and luxurious. With an excellent spa and rooftop pool this is not immediately an obvious family choice. However you'll find kids' options in the restaurants and even the spa, plus seasonal children’s programmes. Perfect for all the family.
For a decadent stay

-
Maison de La Luz is luxurious and intimate in the extreme - glittering with the essence of New Orleans decadence and style. With custom furniture and a bespoke concierge service, this establishment gives a true sense of Southern elegance, glamor, and hospitality.
For great value

-
NOPSI Hotel is a chicly converted utility office located near the CBD. Vast rooms are cleanly styled while the dining options, atmospheric gin bar and chic rooftop pool make this an alluring stay. A very affordable five-star choice.
