Fancy hotel....horrible location.
Nothing too much out of ordinary for this particular Ritz-Carlton, when you compare it to other RC's. Unfortunately, the location is AWFUL, as it's about a block away from North Rampart Street (notorious for crime). The hotel is a little far from Bourbon Street, and it's a rather long walk to the French Quarter from the RC. The hotel is located on the northbound side of Canal Street, and traffic can be a headache in the afternoons. If you just want to stay at a fancy hotel, consider staying at the �W� on Poydras Street instead of the Ritz, as the amenities are about the same but it�s MUCH easier to get to by car from I-10.
