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.
