I used to be your friend who met you at a bar, but now I’d rather just meet you at the spa. I’ve got my eye on the Spa at Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans now that locals receive 20% off services Monday – Thursday. Renovated in 2021, there’s a whole new look, but still all of my favorite amenities like a sauna and complimentary mimosas!

I visited this December and I forgot just how large the space is: 25,000 square feet to be exact with 20 treatment rooms, a café, and a boutique. I’m officially adding this to my list of fun ways to celebrate a birthday in New Orleans. As for treatments I am eyeing the Southern Ceremony. Isabel says she’s going for the Mississippi Mud Detox Treatment.

Spring in New Orleans is a wild time, so we highly recommend scheduling your appointment now. Perhaps when you can also check yourself into the newly renovated Maison de Orleans Club. I stayed here over the Christmas holidays and it is indeed next level. Maybe I’ll see you there, and if not, be sure to tell them scout sent you.
