Who we are

A little something extra, from the very first mile

Lagniappe : the small, unexpected extra. Something more is always given than was promised.

In practice it means your chauffeur already knows the best way into the French Quarter before you ask, there's chilled water waiting in the car, and the plan for your evening is set before you step outside.

Our chauffeurs know New Orleans: its neighborhoods, its rhythms, and which door to use at Galatoire's on a Friday. Vehicles are detailed before every trip, chauffeurs are background-checked, and every ride is handled with discretion.

Arriving at The Ritz-Carlton

Your stay begins at the terminal

The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans occupies one of the city's most distinguished addresses, a 1908 building on Canal Street at the edge of the French Quarter and the Central Business District. The experience shouldn't start in the lobby.

  • Flight tracking with automatic pickup adjustments
  • Help with your luggage from arrivals to the car
  • Bottled water in every vehicle
  • Child seats on request
  • Chauffeur name and vehicle sent before pickup

The address: 921 Canal Street

New Orleans, LA 70112, where the French Quarter, the CBD and the Canal streetcar meet. The Saenger Theatre and Harrah's are a short walk away.

From the airport: 20–30 minutes

MSY to Canal Street by private car, longer at rush hour or during big events. Your flight is tracked, so an early or late arrival changes nothing on your end.

Multi-day stays

Staying several nights? We set up your rides for the whole stay in one reservation, with your preferences noted, so you don't arrange the car again each morning.

Day or night: 24/7

Reservations are answered around the clock, and cars run whenever your plans do, including Mardi Gras and festival weekends.

Know before you go

The city our chauffeurs know

Canal Street is the dividing line between the old Creole city and the American sector, and the point the rest of New Orleans radiates from. A few things our chauffeurs tell first-time visitors:

Best time to visit

October through May: warm days, cooler nights and a festival nearly every weekend.

MSY to Canal Street

About 20–30 minutes by private car. Rideshare prices surge during major events; a pre-booked car doesn't.

Jazz Fest

Book early. Sprinter vans for festival weekends are usually the first vehicles reserved.

Mardi Gras

Routes change with the parades, so book well ahead for Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras day.
