Quick Verdict: The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans vs The Windsor Court

When The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans wins: choose the Ritz if you want the largest spa in the city, live-jazz in a hotel lounge, a historic Beaux-Arts setting, and closer immediate access to Bourbon Street and French Quarter attractions.

When The Windsor Court wins: pick the Windsor Court if you prefer a more formally traditional luxury hotel with refined European-style service, a garden-view restaurant, an outdoor pool, and a slightly calmer downtown location.
