Best for travelers who want a quieter, design-led boutique stay with an interior courtyard and French-Louisiana dining.

Best for travelers who want full-service five-star amenities — a sizable spa, indoor pool, ballroom/meeting space, and a Canal Street address.
When The Eliza Jane wins: choose The Eliza Jane for a smaller, more intimate hotel with a distinct historic character, a central-but-quiet Magazine Street address, and onsite Couvant and The Press Room for casual-to-smart dining.
When The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans wins: choose the Ritz-Carlton for extensive meeting and event facilities, a full-service spa, an indoor pool, and the scale and services expected from a national luxury brand on Canal Street.
Bottom line: both put you within easy walking distance of the French Quarter; pick The Eliza Jane for boutique character and a calmer footprint, or the Ritz-Carlton for classic five-star amenities and bigger meeting/event resources.
