The Spa at The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans

"Non-couples who would normally end up sharing a standard "double double" room—two double beds—will appreciate the "double king" option, a spacious layout that's just shy of a suite (in terms of price and size) but offers plenty of room for work and lounging"

"There are 22 spa rooms, a luxury retail shop and a spa cafe for guests to regroup after treatments"

"The hotel spa, which is one of the best in the US, is pure bliss"

"It includes a 20,000-square-foot spa that goes far beyond mere workouts --- how about a massage à deux for you and your beloved? The third-floor lobby provides both intimacy and grandeur, and there's also an elegantly furnished main lounge and an even more luxurious Library Lounge for brandy, cigars and fireside chats"

"  There are also eucalyptus-infused steam rooms, a sauna, lemon-scented showers, a café and spa boutique"

"It may not be the ritziest of all Ritz-Carltons, but do expect Ritz-level luxury, service, and amenities, including a stellar spa and the soignée Davenport Lounge"

"The hotel also offers a destination spa with 22 treatment rooms and M Bistro, which features the New Orleans-inspired cuisine of Emily Dillport"

"With big, elegant rooms, a farm-to-table restaurant, a hopping bar, and the largest spa in the city, there's plenty to do on the premises, and its location makes it convenient for tourists and business travelers alike"

"After Katrina, the property underwent a second renovation, which included the expansion of its spa (now a sprawling 25,000 square feet) and the addition of a private entrance for Club level guests"

"Treat yourself to the spa"
