Hot Deals Close to Home: Ritz-Carlton New Orleans from $129

It's hard to beat a price like this at the most elegant hotel in the Big Easy. Situated on world-famous Canal Street at the edge of the French Quarter, within close proximity to the city's most popular and unique attractions, the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans has rates as low as $129 per night for the summer including weekends. (There are slightly higher rates from July 16-19 and August 1-9, 23, 31. Blackout dates are July 20-26.) You'll experience traditional Southern ambience with art and furnishings that reflect the graciousness of the mansions in the Garden District's antebellum mansions. Plus, the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans features a newly-renovated 25,000 square foot destination spa and a new signature restaurant. Needless to say, the amenities at the grande dame of New Orleans are almost impossibly luxurious; plush linens and robes and Bulgari bath products in all the rooms, fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, and five-fixture Italian marble baths in the suites.
