The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans
What the classifiers highlight
On Canal Street, the hotel's Club Level rooms recall a Garden District mansion, with canopied beds and neoclassic furnishings. Forbes singles out the spa's Voodoo Massage, built on absinthe, bourbon, cypress and vetiver, and a $3 million art collection that includes a French walnut piano and original Mardi Gras invitations. Jazz trumpeter Jeremy Davenport headlines the lounge Wednesday through Saturday.
