My husband and I have decided to travel to NO for our very first wedding anniversary (the weekend of August 7th). We are thinking of staying three or four nights and i%26#39;m trying to figure out the most romantic/luxurious hotel to stay in. Also, any suggestions on interesting outings/tours/classes and restaurants. We love to try new places that are the ';must see';, ';must eat'; etc..of cities.
We have both traveled through New Orleans before however neither of us have made it a destination...We were thinking about the Ritz.. (Do you have a St. Regis? Is the Ritz comparable?)...
Also, I am an Interior Designer...does NO have a design district? Interesting home-tours/boutiques?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!!
Greatly appreciated!

There is no St. Regis, but try the Maison Orleans Club Level at the Ritz - truly luxurious and you won%26#39;t be disappointed!
There is no design district per se, but you might be interested in taking a Garden District tour. The French Quarter also has some fabulous homes, and some houses will allow tours inside at times.
The Roosevelt is a great choice. It should be open for only a few weeks at that time - hopefully the resurrection of an essential NO hostelry. We can%26#39;t wait to try it out. Please post and let us know how it was.
Rates will be very cheap during the first week of August, so don%26#39;t pay more than $125 or so at ANY hotel in town.
Our design district is spread out along Magazine Street and the Warehouse District. Unfortunately, you almost need a car (or a LOT of patience and a 3-day bus pass) to see the sites on Magazine.
As for must-eats and must-sees, search the forum. Lots of great ideas here.
