Opened in 1886, Hotel Monteleone claims to be one of New Orleans' last great family-run hotels. Less than a block from lively Bourbon Street, this Preferred Hotels-affiliated property gives guests easy access to many of the contemporary attractions and amenities for which this city is known. It doesn't forget about its storied past, though.

The interior remains distinctly baroque in style. Details like crown molding, chandeliers and matching patterned fabrics on beds and draperies are on display in the 522 guest rooms and suites. Modern-day comforts like Keurig coffee makers, minifridges and plush bathrobes are also available, should you crave a few contemporary amenities when you travel.

Splurge on one of the Literary Suites to sleep in a space that draws inspiration from famous American authors — such as Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner — with ties to the hotel. Rooms and suites in the Hotel Monteleone's recently renovated Iberville Tower come with twice-daily housekeeping, marble bathrooms with walk-in showers, a New Orleans-themed amenity, private check-in, and a personal concierge.

You'll find one of New Orleans' quirkiest attractions outside the hotel's rooms and suites: a rotating carousel bar. The first and only rotating bar in the Big Easy, the Carousel Bar & Lounge is a popular spot for both guests and tourists staying elsewhere (guests in the Iberville Tower have early access). So, aim to arrive early if you want to sip your Sazerac or Pimm's Cup from one of the 25 coveted bar seats. For more substantial fare, sit for a meal at Criollo Restaurant, where seasonal Southern dishes are on the menu.

If you are interested in the paranormal, be on the lookout for spooky encounters during your stay. Hotel Monteleone is considered one of New Orleans' top haunted hotels . Visitors have reported locked doors opening and shutting on their own, elevators stopping on the wrong floors and apparitions of former guests appearing by rooms where they died.

Rates at Hotel Monteleone start at $259 per night.

Occupying a former luxury apartment building from the 1920s, The Pontchartrain Hotel is a charming place to hang your hat in the quaint Garden District. The 106-room hotel's decor complements the building's 1920s facade through details such as rich fabrics in jewel tones, crystal chandeliers and old-fashioned room keys with red tassels.

Rooms continue the traditional, elevated design while drawing inspiration from the hotel's surroundings. An array of colors, including black, mint green, pale pink and red, appear on everything from the walls to draperies to furnishings; the colors are a nod to the city's Spanish-French roots and the Garden District's romantic Spanish moss-draped trees and palms. In-room amenities include reading nooks, desks and Le Labo toiletries.

On-site amenities are limited, but guests can access a few food and beverage outlets. At Silver Whistle Café, early morning essentials like coffee and pastries are available. The Bayou Bar might remind travelers of the Prohibition era, as it's adorned with dark wood and a piano. Jack Rose, the hotel's only full-service restaurant, brings you closer to the 21st century with a painting of famous New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne pictured with a tie and a piece of cake.

There's also the Tennessee Williams-inspired rooftop bar, Hot Tin, which has strong cocktails and panoramic city views. Williams was even one of the many famous faces over the years to check in to the hotel, which has also hosted Frank Sinatra and presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush. Why not add your own name to the list of fabulous guests?

Rates at The Pontchartrain Hotel start at $143 per night.

Situated in New Orleans' central business district, The Troubadour Hotel New Orleans is a clean, modern hotel that offers proximity to the bustling French Quarter neighborhood without sitting directly in the action.

Bookable with Hilton Honors points , this Tapestry Collection property is made for cool, trend-following travelers who desire modern yet timeless accommodations. All 184 rooms and suites pay homage to the art deco style and the 1970s through a mix of warm wood and leather furnishings, colorful local artwork, denim blue-hued headboards, throw blankets and carpets.

When you're not mixing up a drink with ingredients from the in-room cocktail kit, head to the laid-back Troubadour Lounge & Listening Room to hear some tunes and chill out while sipping a beverage. There's also the rooftop bar, Ingenue, where classic cocktails like peach bellinis, mojitos and Palomas come with a fresh twist.

A 24-hour fitness center is also available on-site, should you wish to maintain your fitness regimen during your stay.

Rates at The Troubadour Hotel New Orleans start at $110 or 32,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

One of the most interesting facets of The Windsor Court is its art collection, worth more than $10 million, which is displayed throughout the property. However, this impressive feature is only one of many reasons to visit this luxurious hotel.

Found in downtown's Central Business District, this member of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts family offers all kinds of upscale amenities. This includes a tranquil rooftop pool, a well-equipped fitness center, concierge service that's practically guaranteed to get you a reservation at any restaurant in town and a full-service spa with customized facials designed by biomedical expert Augustinus Bader. Even pooches and felines are cared for when they stay, thanks to the property's Pampered Pets Program; it spoils four-legged friends with perks like plush beds.

Guest rooms and suites feature dark wood furnishings, floral prints on curtains and throw pillows, finely patterned taupe carpeting and pops of pale blue throughout. All accommodations come with fully stocked minibars, flat-screen TVs, marble bathrooms, and private balconies or bay windows with views of the Mississippi River or the city skyline.

As for dining, you'll find a variety of restaurants on-site: The Grill Room (which serves American cuisine), The Polo Club (with elevated pub fare and live jazz music) and the seasonal Pool Bar (where salads, sandwiches and frozen cocktails are on the menu).

Rates at The Windsor Court start at $301 per night.

One of the newest hotels in the French Quarter, One11 Hotel offers the perfect blend of solitude and convenience. This boutique property has a phenomenal location on the southwestern edge of the lively French Quarter neighborhood. It gives guests enough peace and quiet to get a restful night's sleep without keeping them too far away from the action on Bourbon Street.

Housed in a former sugar warehouse, the decor combines contemporary design with original features. Each of the 83 guest rooms and "sweets" (a playful nod to the property's history) has a neutral color scheme that lets original details — like exposed brick walls, high beamed ceilings and natural timber pillars — shine. Expect modern essentials like glass walk-in showers, flat-screen TVs and pillow-top mattresses.

For a boutique hotel, One11 Hotel offers quite a few property amenities. A courtyard with a fire pit and pool is available for lounging. Additionally, guests can venture eight stories up to the rooftop terrace for incredible views of the neighborhood and the Mississippi River. Visitors can enjoy complimentary access to a fitness center located across the street.

When you start to get hunger pangs, head to the first-floor Batture Bistro + Bar, which serves New Orleans-inspired fare for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Small plates and cocktails are available later in the day as well for those who need some sustenance after a day of exploring the French Quarter.

Rates at One11 Hotel start at $199 per night.

If you're planning to visit The National WWII Museum (or another attraction in the Warehouse Arts District), The Higgins Hotel New Orleans should be on the top of your hotel list. This Curio Collection property, named after a local entrepreneur who built more than 20,000 boats used during World War II, is the official hotel of The National WWII Museum. It features art deco decor inspired by the time period. In addition to The National WWII Museum, it sits within walking distance of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans, making it an ideal spot for museumgoers.

The Higgins is only about a mile from Bourbon Street's bars and restaurants, though its drinking and dining establishments are worth sticking around for. Rosie's on the Roof serves up city views and delectable small plates like crab beignets, while the French-inspired Café Normandie is open daily for breakfast and lunch. Additional options include Kilroy's Bar & Lounge, a terrific spot for happy hour, and Provisions, a grab-and-go cafe with drinks, sandwiches and salads.

Once you've satiated your appetite, retreat to your room or suite. All 230 accommodations offer at least 360 square feet of space and come equipped with minifridges, 55-inch TVs, walk-in showers and custom linens with red, white and blue piping. Book one of three suites named after former presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Harry S. Truman and Franklin D. Roosevelt to enjoy extras like a spacious terrace, a kitchenette, a soaking tub and an entrance foyer.

Rates at The Higgins Hotel New Orleans start at $175 or 50,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

With just 67 rooms and suites, Maison de la Luz feels more like an intimate guesthouse than a traditional hotel you'd find in any city in America.

Every corner and detail has a thoughtful design, with an eclectic mix of decor styles combined to a beguiling effect. The concierge desk looks like a 1920s Hollywood movie palace concessions counter; the Breakfast Room is flooded with light that sets the royal blue furnishings and blue palm wallpaper off to dazzling effect. The Living Room lounge is a snapshot of a vintage Egyptian hotel lobby with boldly patterned rugs, African-inspired wall art and brass chandeliers with pink shades.

Spacious guest rooms are just as thoughtfully adorned as the rest of the property, with wavy, blue headboards, mismatched light fixtures and huge windows that let ample light pour in. Room rates also cover several extra touches, including a daily pot of coffee, a carafe of filtered water and a post-breakfast glass of iced tea; a nightly wine and cheese reception; concierge service; and use of a pool and gym at the adjacent Ace Hotel New Orleans.

On-site dining options are limited but include 24-hour room service and buffet and a la carte breakfast options at the aptly named Breakfast Room. Guests also enjoy priority access to neighboring establishments like Bar Marilou, Josephine Estelle and Three Keys, so don't be afraid to ask the concierge to put your name on the list. This is Southern hospitality, after all.

Rates at Maison de la Luz start at $296 per night.

Housing only 14 rooms, The Chloe exudes New Orleans charm from the moment you arrive. Occupying a 19th-century mansion, the hotel displays (and sells) all kinds of local art and sundries to bring more genuine flair.

The hotel feels like a home away from home. The lobby bar has rich green walls and busy fleur-de-lis bar stools; meanwhile, blush pink walls, upholstered booths with vibrant floral patterns and an assortment of hanging plants await patrons in the property's Creole restaurant. The small outdoor pool also offers a classic pool bar with a beachy blue exterior, wicker barstools, wooden accents, and a collection of straw hats.

The guest rooms offer simpler (yet stylish) designs, mostly white with blue or black pops of color. While each room category is slightly different in appearance, all come equipped with locally sourced touches like record players with vinyl records, handwoven robes, chocolates, bath salts and oils. Breakfast is complimentary every day.

Rates at The Chloe start at $280 per night.

The vibe at Ace Hotel New Orleans is trendy, hip, mature, and, some might say, ascetic. It might not have the bold colors or plush fabrics of some other hotels on this list, but its affordable price point and pared-down design draw many visitors.

The hotel has a second-floor gym and Three Keys, a music venue where you can listen to live jazz, rock and blues performances. The Ace also features five dining outlets, including one in Alto — a rooftop garden with a heated pool, fire pits and lounge chairs for enjoying cocktails and small plates. Additionally, guests can head to Lovage for drinks and pastries on the go, the lobby bar, a seafood-focused eatery and Josephine Estelle, which dishes up Southern cuisine with an Italian twist.

Inside the 234 rooms and suites (all pet-friendly), you'll discover boho-chic midcentury modern furniture, plus large windows and moody black, gray and brown color schemes. Standard amenities include wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, custom bathrobes, Smeg refrigerators and fully stocked minibars with local treats. Music lovers will want to pay extra for a suite, as they're also outfitted with Martin guitars and turntables with various vinyl records.

Rates at Ace Hotel New Orleans start at $143 per night.

The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans, is located on Canal Street, just one block from the French Quarter. Housed in the former Maison Blanche department store building, this Marriott -affiliated outpost wows with its beaux-arts design. Resembling the Garden District's pre-Civil War mansions, the property is packed with eye-catching details, ranging from marble floors and ornate chandeliers in the tall, light-filled lobby to verdant plants surrounding a bubbling fountain in the tranquil courtyard.

Unsurprisingly, amenities here aim to attract guests who prefer the finer things in life but still want a taste of New Orleans while on-site. The property is home to the largest spa in the city. You'll find a whopping 20 treatment rooms for locally inspired spa services such as the Voodoo Ritual and a couples package that incorporates coffee and praline (two New Orleans staples). Additionally, guests can enjoy farm-to-table fare at the fine dining restaurant M Bistro or enjoy cocktails or afternoon tea in the elegant Davenport Lounge.

As for accommodations, you'll have your pick of 528 rooms, including the Residence, that continue the luxe New Orleans theme.

Opened as an orphanage in 1861, Hotel Saint Vincent invites guests to branch out beyond the elegant, traditional decor commonly found in Garden District accommodations. The property's interior is not for the faint of heart. Guests will either love or hate the pink tiled bathrooms and bright, kaleidoscopic wallpaper — This is retro, 1970s style at its boldest.

The 75 rooms are on the small side: Measurements start at 252 square feet for basic Crescent King rooms and measure no more than 589 square feet for the largest suite available, the Mary Suite. However, they come with all the essentials, including walk-in showers, flat-screen TVs and minibars. Plus, some offer private furnished verandas or direct access to the hotel's courtyard, where the pool and pool bar are located.

When you're not taking a dip in or lounging by the small outdoor pool, browse the local textiles and jewelry sold at the ByGeorge New Orleans Boutique. Or, head to the guest-only Chapel Club lounge for drinks.

Enjoy pastries and specialty dishes like dumplings and noodles at Elizabeth Street Café, a French-Vietnamese eatery to satiate your appetite. There's also the signature San Lorenzo restaurant, where menu items combine Italian and New Orleans flavors.

Rates at Hotel Saint Vincent start at $221 per night.

new orleans riverboat hotel

This Hyatt property — part of the brand's Unbound Collection — is conveniently located in the Warehouse Arts District, placing guests just two blocks away from the bustling French Quarter. Situated inside seven historic warehouses that once housed local businesses like the Gulf Baking Soda company and The Daily Picayune newspaper, The Eliza Jane is named for Eliza Jane Nicholson — The Daily Picayune's first female publisher.

Several parts of the 196-room property pay homage to the building's rich history. At The Press Room — the hotel's lobby lounge full of antique typewriters and original architectural details — guests can ease into their day with a cup of coffee and a newspaper, or they can mix and mingle while enjoying snacks and cocktails. Couvant, The Eliza Jane's signature restaurant, also takes cues from its past: It serves French-inspired specialties in a dining room full of art from the Peychaud Cocktail Bitters factory that once occupied the space.

Beyond the food and beverage outlets, visitors can access a 24-hour fitness center with various machines, including a Peloton bike. The property also sports a charming courtyard with a gas lantern and a bubbling fountain and a small business center with a tablet, printer and fax machine.

Given the array of structures that comprise the property, each accommodation features a unique design and layout. However, there are a few commonalities, including bathrooms with white subway tiles, tufted leather headboards, polished brass fixtures, and accent walls or furnishings with floral prints and patterns. Some rooms and suites also have exposed brick walls (painted or in their natural state) and wooden beams.

Rates at The Eliza Jane start at $175 or 17,000 World of Hyatt points per night.

Kimpton Hotel Fontenot brings IHG's whimsy brand to the up-and-coming Warehouse Arts District — and it's pet-friendly. Like other Kimpton properties, this New Orleans location's nightly rates cover all kinds of amenities, including the use of in-room yoga mats, a 24-hour fitness center and loaner bikes, plus a wine reception every evening.

Guest rooms and suites here are spacious and stunning, offering light and airy interiors with pops of light blue and pale pink; the metal and wicker beds are dressed in Frette linens, and the curvaceous art deco-inspired chaise lounges are upholstered in velvet. All accommodations also come outfitted with minibars stocked with local items, plush bathrobes, Bluetooth speakers and Atelier Bloem toiletries. The hotel added 33 rooms and suites in a 2023 expansion that also saw the addition of a new French restaurant, King.

The gorgeous design continues in the Hotel Fontenot's two more established on-site bars. The ornately decorated Peacock Room bar serves craft cocktails and small plates like local oysters and chorizo-stuffed dates in a chic space; its murals and deep blue banquettes nod to its namesake bird. Meanwhile, Gospel Coffee and Boozy Treats is an interesting take on the typical cafe: You can add a shot of alcohol to any menu item, whether you enjoy it in the cool black-and-white space or take it to go.

Rates at the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot start at $136 or 23,000 IHG One Rewards points per night.

Originally the World Trade Center and International Trade Mart, this waterfront 34-story tower is now the Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans. Inside the historic modernist building — designed by highly regarded architect Edward Durell Stone to commemorate New Orleans' 250th anniversary in 1968 — visitors will find 341 accommodations, 61 of which are suites.

The sleek decor is a breath of fresh air that contrasts nicely with the city's 19th-century character and the more classic look of other luxury hotels in the area. Each spacious room offers at least 438 square feet of elbow room, plus a clean, bright look; decor includes white shiplap walls, a light gray chaise, blond wood furnishings and a bathroom covered in marble. All have walk-in showers, Nespresso coffee makers, iPads for service requests and minibars stocked with a selection of soft drinks, wine and snacks; select upgraded accommodations also come with freestanding bathtubs and walk-in closets.

Even the pickiest of eaters will find plenty to enjoy here. The hotel has two restaurants to choose from, including Miss River — which serves elevated New Orleans fare like blackened snapper with creamy rutabaga and pecan chimichurri — and Chemin à la Mer — where patrons can savor a variety of Louisiana-inspired dishes while taking in picturesque views of the Mississippi River. The Chandelier Bar, a chic lobby-level hangout, is also available for classic New Orleans cocktails and gourmet snacks such as caviar, duck liver pate and fried oysters, among other options.

For even more pampering, head to the hotel's spa, which houses a sauna and a steam room. No visit would be complete without a dip in the crescent-shaped pool on the hotel's fifth floor.

Rates at the Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans start at $405 per night.

The cheekily named Hotel Peter & Paul is housed in a renovated complex featuring a former church, schoolhouse, convent and rectory. It gives guests the unique opportunity to sleep in a one-of-a-kind apostolic hotel. The 71 rooms are just as eclectic as the Marigny neighborhood in which the property resides, offering old-fashioned details fitting of this converted church.

No two rooms are the same, but you can expect traditional touches such as plaid textiles in yellow, green, red or blue hues, black rotary phones and antique furnishings perfectly polished to make any sexton proud. Know, though, that entry-level rooms are tiny, with some only measuring 200 square — enough space to squeeze in a set of twin bunk beds or a full or queen-size bed.

When you're not sleeping, visit The Elysian Bar for more elbow room. Open daily for breakfast and dinner, the eatery offers an assortment of pastries and caffeinated beverages in the morning; it transforms into a sit-down establishment at night. Highlights from the dinner menu include oven-roasted beef bone marrow and roasted Gulf shrimp with Calabrian chile butter.

Rates at Hotel Peter & Paul start at $149 per night.

new orleans riverboat hotel

This townhouse-turned-boutique hotel, the Henry Howard Hotel, sits in the verdant Garden District. Unlike other properties in the neighborhood, you'll discover a mishmash of styles here. This includes everything from Greek Revival elements (think: tall columns and crisp white paint) on the facade to a parlor with Italianate details (like an ornate chandelier and period-appropriate furnishings). Yet despite the blending of styles, every aspect of the property pulls together and works.

Inside the 18 rooms, you'll find a mix of modern and vintage furniture atop hardwood floors. Accent walls with patterned wallpaper depict city scenes, and brass instruments serve as wall art. The compact but beautiful bathrooms have pedestal sinks and Beekman 1802 Fresh Air bath products.

Property amenities are limited, but guests can relax in the parlor, on the front porch or in the courtyard when they're ready to venture outside their rooms. Coffee, pastries and cocktails are available daily in the parlor.

Rates at the Henry Howard Hotel start at $159 per night.

You're in the Big Easy, baby. The whole town is a party — right? But don't feel bad if you have a night in while staying at Virgin Hotels New Orleans, where the party — plus a dose of Southern charm — is alive and well within these walls.

Funky designs (think: a sculpture of a man in a bunny costume playing chess in the library) are some of the first eye-catching clues that this hotel is more than just a place to sleep and shower. Book a table at Commons Club for everything from dinner to a burlesque brunch, where you can tack on a bottomless Veuve Clicquot accompaniment to your shrimp and grits.

Upstairs, you'll find guest rooms and suites with city views and spacious dressing rooms, even in the most affordable guest rooms. Don't forget to escape the New Orleans heat at The Pool Club on the rooftop — doing laps always feels better when seeing the sun set over the Crescent City.

Rates at Virgin Hotels New Orleans start at $198 per night.

A French Quarter glow-up arrived earlier this year at the W New Orleans — French Quarter.

The hotel unveiled an extensive, multimillion-dollar renovation of its 97 guest rooms and suites and Carriage House suites. The new color palette is a nod to Sazerac, the signature amber-hued New Orleans cocktail, and bayou moss as well as the nautical heritage of the city. Guests will also find elevated, modern furnishings and French-style wall moldings with gold hardware and soft accent lighting in their accommodations — the design team refers to it as "textural gumbo."

Guests who splurge on Carriage House suites can be treated to more than just extra elbow room. The one-bedroom studio suite comes with a living area as well as a private courtyard to feel like a true resident of the French Quarter.

The 3rd Block Depot Kitchen + Bar is the W's sleek restaurant and bar serving Southern classics mere steps from Bourbon Street. 3rd Block's bananas Foster French toast is decadent, but don't forget you're in one of America's top food cities: The W concierge team is more than happy to help you find any number of scrumptious restaurants in the surrounding neighborhood.

Rates at the W New Orleans – French Quarter start at $224 or 42,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night.

What is the best part of New Orleans to stay in?

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is a roughly 15-mile, 25-minute drive to downtown New Orleans, where you'll find some of the city's most popular neighborhoods.

Travelers flock to New Orleans for the French Quarter and Bourbon Street during the bacchanalia of Mardi Gras and beyond. This is one of the city's oldest parts and where you'll find some of the most historic boutique hotels (with the occasional big brand masquerading as a boutique hotel).

New Orleans' Central Business District and Warehouse District are where travelers looking for bigger, modern hotels or proximity to the Caesars Superdome and additional nightlife venues and restaurants.

Uptown and the Garden District have more of a residential feel suitable for travelers looking for a quieter experience with access to boutique shopping and art galleries. There's more of a bohemian-meets-jazz residential vibe to the east of the French Quarter in the Marigny, where jazz clubs and bistros dot the streets.

excellent restaurants so just know if you are visiting during any events / tourist season this hotel will stay packed! I enjoyed my room with the river view and I especially enjoyed watching the fireworks on the riverwalk - great views on the river side rooms! Room service was great and timely even at a late hour...this hotel is conveniently located with a shopping mall below it! Yes and yes!! Customer service was excellent! Keep up the great work guys!

Came here for a convention. It was a nice hotel right on the water within walking distance of a few cool places, There is an rta stop there and a streetcar stop down around the corner so that was convenient Dragos restaurant was great The spirit bar was also very good and had a bar menu Le Croissant had a great, but pricey breakfast buffet. It had a huge selection that was very good. I hear tell you can get a deal on breakfast with the room. We didn't know that so 32$ for breakfast added up. The rooms were clean. Our beds were on the beat up side ( lumpy). So that wasn't great as we stayed 9 nights! Staff was always friendly, accommodating and courteous. I would go back again due to the location and the restaurants inside. I would hope they start updating their mattresses.

I spent just shy of a week here for a financial conference, and overall, I have to say my stay was good! Upon check in, the staff was all pleasant. Nothing too note worthy there. We arrived late afternoon and there wasn't a line at check in. I think the only thing I would add is the lobby area is massive and you have to sort of orient yourself first and read the directional signs to know where to go. The check in desk is up the escalator. My room was nice. I had ample space for just myself. The bed was fine. It was a little firm for my preference, but I made do. Everything was clean, which is the important piece. Housekeeping did a great job each day. The conference center was absolutely massive. At the time of my conference there was an entirely other conference happening just down the hall, but we never ran into any of the other conference goers - it was impressive. The staff was also great with keeping drinks and snacks stocked and ready to go. The first night of the conference the hotel hosted an evening cocktail hour for our conference complete with full bar service and heavy appetizers. Everything was spot on! My only complaint is maybe the location. If you're in town to explore the French Quarter or Garden District, you're a bit of a walk to either. I'd definitely suggest a more centrally located hotel. BUT if you want to be right on the riverwalk - this place is top notch. If I wasn't staying here for the conference, it wouldn't be my first pick, as I feel there are dozens of other places in the area with much bigger bang for your buck, but my time here was good!

I had the pleasure of experiencing the Hilton New Orleans for the 2024 NACM Conference and it was truly an amazing venue. I didn't stay on site as the hotel was sold out, however, I attended the conference daily which afforded me the opportunity to experience the hotel for a full week. The ambiance of the hotel is a blend of calm, professional, and family. The common area decor presents a variation of options which are ideal for taking a quick call, checking emails, or meeting up with friends or family to head out for the day. There are many entrance doors so your ability to be on the side of the hotel closest to where you need to be isn't an issue at all. There is calming music playing throughout the common areas which help to set the tone as you enter the space. The Grand Ballroom is absolutely amazing. The space is beyond huge and has a design aesthetic that is ideal to be used as a meeting or event space. The carpets were free of stains and cleaned daily. The room has ample outlets along the wall so ensure if you need your laptop to sit near a wall. We utilized Concourse D for our breakout sessions which was ideal. Each room presented ample space which ensured we weren't crowded, as well as the hot has the perfect presentation setup for the multi-speaker or solo presenter style session. On the days the food was catered, the catering staff was nothing less than awesome. They were pleasant, always had a smile on their face, they ensured the area remained clean, and they were super helpful with any questions we had. As the hotel is huge, I further had the chance to visit all of their retail locations within the hotel. Regardless of if I was getting coffee, food, or apparel, every interaction was delivered with the Hilton Signature which helped to create a promoter experience. As this location sits on the Riverwalk, the views are amazing as well as the access to the shops and trolley are right outside the door. I don't have to tell you that we shopped daily. LoL. All in all, the Hilton - Riverwalk was an amazing venue experience. From the cleanliness, to the staff, to the overall ambiance presented by the hotel itself. Top tier quality. Thank you to the Hilton team for your service deliverables, amazing hospitality, and ease of access to downtown.

Very nice and clean hotel. Check in and check out was easy. Has a hotel bar, restaurant, snd a breakfast area. There is also a cafe. My room was either icy cold or stuffy. Couldn't seem to find a happy medium. Had to call to get extra blankets. They were a bit slow with this and it took a few calls in an hour and half to get the blankets. My bathroom was great but the tub was very slow to drain. Had to call 3 days out of my 5 day stay to have this issue addressed.

3 1/2 Stars This hotel is HUGE! The location is nice because it is easy to walk to the French Quarter. We stayed in Building 3, on the 3rd floor which had a river view. I really enjoyed the river view as several times we could see different ships and boats cruise by. Specially the Steamboat Natchez. The hotel itself is not super modern if that is what you are looking for in a place to stay. Several escalators were out of service which made getting around take a bit longer as you had to seek out elevators and take a roundabout route to get somewhere. Our room was a standard king bed with a river view. It had what we needed. Nothing fancy but that was fine. The room was a hike to come and go but I did enjoy the view. We enjoyed the hotel bar one evening which was a lot of fun after being in the French Quarter. They make a great Dirty Martini! Don't bother with the Riverwalk Outlets.

Sheena with food services was very ghetto and RUDE TO THE WHOLE AAFPRS crew who paid millions for our conference. She was yelling at us and she being out right rude. We entered into the exhibit hall and was informed to eat and she immediately came up to us YELLING... swinging her hands, yelling and just not being very helpful!!!! I will NEVER RETURN TO THE FACILITY DONT GO HERE

This is 3 star hotel at best. The decor is dated, the rooms feel old. The location is great. The service and restaurants are good. I'd recommend for a work stay, otherwise find a Vrbo or AirBnB. Enough said.

Hello Brian, Thank you for being our guest and sharing your feedback. While we are happy our convenient location worked well for your needs, we are sorry the rest of your stay did not meet your expectations.

***Update to review*** General manager responded to my post/review and the most that I was offered were apologies and what they plan to do in the future. There were no stays, credits, or points offered. After nearly $1000 stay for two days, that's the best they have to offer? What a joke and certainly not the level of professionalism I would have expected from such a respectable brand.

Hi Monica, Thank you for taking a moment to leave a review and for being a valued Hhonors member. While it brings us great pleasure to know how much you enjoyed your experience at Public Belt and appreciated our fantastic location, we regret that you were not satisfied with your overall stay.

Please know that we are currently amidst a multi-year renovation, and your comments about our accommodations will be taken into consideration. It was a pleasure having you as our guest, and we hope you will give us another chance to change your perceptions down the line. David Piscola, General Manager

I must say the quality of hotels have gone down yet the prices have gone up......drastically! I like staying at Hilton Hotel brands based on their satisfaction guarantee and because they have an array of brands. As a Diamond member I would have expected a better quality of service. I had a local stay to avoid a long drive home after hanging out with family in town. I requested to be near family in the main tower, however there were no double rooms available. I was in Building 2, however I walked down the hall of Building 3 before realizing I was in the wrong building. I feel like I needed an Uber to get to my room. The Bellman were all standing around the desk and none asked if I needed assistance with luggage. I guess in a positive note, I got my steps in. It would have been great for the front desk receptionist to write it on the key jacket and/or provide directions particularly since it's hidden on the other side of the market. It was also challenging to find a vending machine in our building. When I called the front desk, I was told it was in Building 2, all the way at the end. I went there to get a snack and drink and neither one of the machines worked. The market only stays open until 12 noon which was also disappointing. The rooms need a massive remodel and upgrade and my bed was too soft, sinking me into the mattress causing my back to hurt. Lighting in the room was dull and the toilet is so low, it feels as though it was almost on the floor. The internet and reception in the room was slow and at times non-existent. The TV kept going out due to poor connection and my laptop wouldn't stay connected. I'm guessing this hotel doesn't provide receipts under your door the night or early morning of checkout since I never received one, which is something I've been accustomed to receiving previously. When calling down to get my car from valet, I was told the phone didn't work. Certainly not an expectation when paying $50/day to park. Drago's menu options were very limited and not what I had been accustomed to at other Drago's restaurants. It took me an hour when sitting at the bar to get a dozen oysters and a Caesar salad and I watched a couple walk up and within 10 minutes of being seated and ordering oysters, received them. It's clear the server gave them my oysters. The bartender recognized that but nothing was done to correct it. Overall, this was certainly not the service I would have expected from a Hilton brand, especially a 4-star with the price point of this hotel. I also learned that when booking through a 3rd party (American Express) I don't receive credit for the stay. I think this is a terrible policy. I stayed 2 nights, ordered room service, ate in the restaurant, parked a vehicle, and lounged in what I referred to as the "Piano Bar" which by the way was the highlight of the stay. The pianist was kind, personable, and entertaining. The bartenders were attentive and made an amazing, "Not so old fashioned" old fashioned. It was perfectly made. I haven't lost hope with Hilton but I'm not sure I'd stay at this hotel again nor would I recommend it unless some changes are made. It's a perfect location which is why I was very disappointed. I most certainly did not feel like a Diamond member.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Forty years ago, New Orleans opened the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition, commonly known as the World‘s Fair, an event that reshaped the city’s landscape and fueled its tourism economy.

The fair celebrated the theme, “World of Rivers: Freshwater as a Source of Life,” paying homage to the mighty Mississippi River.

Today, as visitors reflect on the transformative event, an exhibit at the Louisiana State Archives in Baton Rouge tells the story of how the Fair changed New Orleans forever.

“It was a lot of good times, a lot of good memories,” said fair visitor, Lulu Green, of New Orleans.

The fair turned the Warehouse District, once a declining area, into a vibrant attraction that drew around seven million visitors to its 84-acre sit along the river.

“It was the vision that everyone bought into, every neighborhood, every race, every level of income,” said Mark Romig, Chief of Protocol for the fair and current Executive Vice President for New Orleans & Company.

Although some call it a financial disaster, losing more than $100 million, the fair sparked lasting change.

“The business lost money and that‘s a story, but to a person, many people say the fair was the most exciting thing that they did,” Romig added.

The fair‘s organizers faced setbacks, with attendance numbers 40% lower than anticipated. Former CEO Petr Spurney attributed some of the financial struggles to the U.S. government‘s decision to withdraw its backing, which he says stunted participation and investment. Some believe the opening of Walt Disney World’s EPCOT Center two years earlier also hurt the fair.

Nevertheless, the fair sparked a wave of developments that still benefit the city, from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center to the Riverwalk and major hotels, all of which emerged during a downturn in the oil industry, providing much-needed economic support.

New York Mayor Edward Koch, center, is visited at New York' s City Hall on Wednesday, Feb. 29,...

“It was a terrific show. I don’t think people realize how good it really was,” Spurney reflected.

The Louisiana State Archives exhibit includes memorabilia from the fair, such as the mascot Seymor D. Fair, a contract authorizing the fair signed by then President Ronald Reagan, contracts for entertainers like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson over $100,000, and suits swimmers wore at the aquacade.

Cash and Nelson were two of dozens that performed at the riverfront amphitheater which once stood near the Hilton Hotel.

Among the fair’s most iconic attractions were the 300-foot French gondola that connected the Warehouse District to Algiers, the Space Shuttle Enterprise flown in on the back of a 747, the International Women’s Pavilion, and various global exhibits, including the Italian Village and German beer garden. The Morial Convention Center, originally built for the fair, housed the Louisiana Swamp Ride.

The 1884 World‘s Fair exhibit at the Louisiana State Archives highlights another exposition that transformed Uptown 100 years earlier.

“The 1884 exposition was the catalyst that led to one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the south,” said Tulane Geographer Richard Campanella.

Remnants of the 1884 fair can still be seen in Uptown New Orleans at the Audubon Park Golf Course, including a piece of iron ore from Alabam and on Exposition Boulevard along the brick foundations on the edge of the golf course lagoon.

The 1884 fair celebrated the 100th anniversary of the first cotton export out of New Orleans. Campanella says it ultimately helped pave the way for the founding of Loyola and Tulane universities.

Similar to the 1984 World’s Fair, the 1884 fair was not an immediate success.

“I think social media has taken the element of why you would have a World’s Fair. The World’s Fair was an event that brought people together to see things,” said Romig.

The 1984 fair featured a monorail that was shipped to the Miami Zoo after its closure on Nov. 11.

Many other features, like the aquacade and the amphitheater, were dismantled and never re-used.

The 1984 World’s Fair exhibit is on display on the main floor of the Louisiana State Archives building on Essen Lane in Baton Rouge through December 13.
