Quick Verdict: The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans vs The Westin New Orleans

When The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans wins: choose the Ritz if you want a large on-site spa (25,000 sq ft with 20 treatment rooms), a heated indoor pool with published hours, and on-site live jazz in Davenport Lounge — it’s the better pick for a pampering, music-forward stay.

When The Westin New Orleans wins: pick the Westin for a riverfront feel within steps of Canal Place, a larger number of rooms (462) and extensive meeting and conference space (25918 sq ft/13 meeting rooms) that suits business groups and event planners.

Bottom line: both are upscale, central choices; pick the Ritz-Carlton for spa, atmosphere and classic luxury on Canal Street, or the Westin for river views, meeting capacity and a more straightforward, brand-standard stay.
