The Ritz-Carlton Spa, New Orleans

Marriott International

Date Completed: 2000 - September

Guests entering the 20,000-square-foot Spa at The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans will find the decor reflects the understated and gracious surroundings of the century-old Maison Blanche building, authentically restored and transformed into the first five-star caliber hotel to open in New Orleans in 15 years. Soft lighting, gauze-draped walls and sparkling chandeliers create niches of serenity and intimacy. The ambience of the city's French-inspired past is reflected in the softly bubbling fountains, museum-quality artwork and gilded ceilings. The sweet aroma of magnolias and the scent of lemon verbena fill the air with reminders of the history and flavor of old New Orleans. Photography by Durston Saylor
