DK Eyewitness "W tries to find a middle ground between postmodern and French Quarter non-modern in this stylish hotel."

Concierge "Located in a Canal Street landmark—the venerable Maison Blanche department store—the Ritz brings its chain-wide style of formal luxury to the outer edge of the French Quarter."
Fodor's "One of the city's most iconic hotels, the Ritz-Carlton sits regally on Canal Street, occupying what was once the Maison Blanche department store." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This hotel actually comprises three hotels in one place (Iberville Suites and Maison Orleans are the other two)."

Gayot "This historic hotel occupies two venerable buildings, the former department stores of Maison Blanche and S. H. Kress."
BlackBook "The rooms are what you'd expect from a Ritz-Carlton, but the most fun is wandering the sumptuous, cream-colored lobby level looking for celebs, if that's your bag."
