For royal treatment in the French Quarter, settle into one of the many plush rooms at this luxury hotel, which has been pampering visitors to the city since 1960. In the comfort of your room, this chain property will spoil you with Irish linen sheets, marble baths and windows overlooking all the action in the Quarter. Dine on steak and seafood in the award-winning Rib Room, a local favorite for decades; or refresh yourself with a mint julep or two at the Touche Bar or the Esplanade Lounge (in the lobby). Up on the rooftop, go for a relaxing swim in the pool, work up a sweat in the fitness center or just take in the sensational views.
