New Orleans has a new luxury destination as the highly anticipated Nobu Hotel Caesars New Orleans has officially opened its doors. Bringing the iconic Nobu brand’s signature mix of Japanese-inspired elegance and world-class hospitality to the heart of the Big Easy, the hotel is poised to become a centerpiece of the reimagined Caesars Tower on Canal Street.

Occupying two floors within the redesigned tower, the hotel offers 54 beautiful rooms and suites, each showcasing a fusion of modern sophistication and serene Japanese aesthetics. Designed by Rockwell Group, the interiors beautifully balance simplicity and opulence.

With its prime location, guests enjoy immediate access to the historic French Quarter and amazing views of the Mississippi River. Guests can also dine at Nobu New Orleans, which opened earlier in 2024. The restaurant offers Japanese dishes with a New Orleans twist.

The ultimate collaboration

The debut of Nobu Hotel Caesars New Orleans marks another milestone in the ongoing $435 million transformation of Harrah’s New Orleans into a world-class Caesars entertainment destination. Announced as part of the ambitious redevelopment plan, the Nobu Hotel is a centerpiece of a resort that now boasts 790 guest rooms, 12 top-tier restaurants, and an impressive range of amenities, including a casino, a state-of-the-art bowling alley, and more.

This opening continues the successful partnership between Nobu Hospitality and Caesars Entertainment, a relationship that began with the launch of the first Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in 2013. Building on that success, the collaboration expanded last year with the unveiling of Nobu Hotel Caesars Atlantic City.

I stayed at one of Chicago’s most famous luxury hotels — and yes, it still deserves the hype

Ritz-Carlton Chicago

Chicago does luxury hotels exceptionally well. The city has historic grande dames, glossy new towers, and enough five-star addresses to make choosing one surprisingly difficult. Still, The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago remains one of the names travelers hear again and again. Does that reputation still carry the same weight in a city with so much competition?

By the end of my stay, the answer was yes. The hotel repeatedly proved that real luxury is about noticing what a guest needs before they have to ask.

With Labor Day fast approaching, travelers are heading out on their final “horrah” of the summer trips. New Chase Travel booking data just dropped, revealing several noteworthy travel trends for this Labor Day. First, data suggests demand for Labor Day travel remains very strong, with Chase Travel bookings up 17% year over year. Despite higher travel prices, consumers still want to travel and find ways to make trips work. For Labor Day timing specifically, average air ticket price (when booked through Chase Travel) is now up over $1,000, marking an 8% increase from this time last year.

I ate my way through Chicago for a weekend, and these 7 spots were worth every calorie

Brunch, Food, Food Presentation

Chicago is a city that makes a reasonable eating schedule feel unnecessary. Breakfast can spill into lunch, breweries count as afternoon activities, and deep-dish pizza is less of a meal than a commitment you make to yourself.

I recently spent a weekend eating my way across the city, with no real strategy beyond following recommendations, wandering into places that looked interesting, and accepting that vegetables might not be the main priority. Some stops were Chicago institutions. Others were complete accidents. One restaurant was so good that we went twice, despite encountering a line out the door both times.
