Marriott - New Orleans
Information & Amenities
Hotel Information: With 1,329 rooms, the Marriott New Orleans is one of this city's largest hotels. Generally flush with conference attendees, on a given weekend it contains seemingly half the nation's human-resource coordinators or American-studies professors. It has the sort of vast, football-field-size lobby where cell phones are essential tools for meeting up.
Insider tip: Many visitors enjoy a ride on the nearby St. Charles Streetcar. The line travels from the French Quarter through the historic Garden District, replete with stately homes. It then passes by Riverbend, with its Victorian cottages housing shops and restaurants, and continues to Audubon Zoo and Loyola and Tulane universities.
Property Amenities
The hotel completed a $38 million transformational renovation in October 2007 to public spaces, including the lobby, restaurant, and pool.
