Total shite hole. Do your best to shorten your trip so you can get out of there.

Hasn't it always pretty much been like that...even in the 70s we would hit the brakes as the lights dimmed

Bourbon is very dark and dangerous now, and has been for over 20 years

I spent 5 years on that corner up on the 14th floor. You’ll never know the joy I’ve gotten from getting a two piece white at 3:15am a couple times a week for half a decade

Male prostitute?
Drug dealer?

Compared to multiple other ritz Carelton’s and 4 seasons neither are a true 5 star. 4 star yes 5 not even close.
Valet takes for every at the Ritz and the rooms needs to be updated. 4 Seasons is newer but not a true 5Star dining is so-so, rooms are very nice, good gym, valet takes a while.

I thought after they took down the offensive statues all the criminals became choir boys.

It really pisses me off how city and state leaders have let New Orleans become such a cess! The place has such a unique charm that people used to flock to. The economic wheel there is based on tourism and they have allowed it to become trash. I don't know how it will return to what it was.

Saying there hasn’t been a shooting on Bourbon in months isn’t the brag you think it is.

After 10PM, the tide changes on Bourbon. It's like the thugs drink and smoke weed at home, then go out at 10:00.
