From the moment guests enter the block-long canopy of golden columns and crystal chandeliers, there is little question that their stay at this family-friendly hotel will be anything short of grand. Originally one of the South's first grand hotels, a 145-million-dollar restoration has returned the hotel to its place as the premier luxury hotel in New Orleans. This historical landmark combines elegant guest rooms, historic dining and entertainment venues, luxurious meeting spaces and new indulgences for a truly legendary experience in the heart of the city. The building dates back to 1893 and comprises a total of 504 guest rooms and suites. Fully air-conditioned, the establishment welcomes its guests into a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out services, and on-site facilities include a hotel safe, a hairdressing salon, and dining options such as a café, bar and restaurant. Business guests are sure to appreciate the conference facilities, and room and laundry services are available for a fee.

This city and conference hotel enjoys a convenient location in New Orleans' central business district. The establishment lies just off Canal Street and one block from the world-famous French Quarter. Furthermore, it is within walking distance of all of New Orleans' major attractions.
