Hampton Inn and Suites New Orleans Convention Center

Twelve blocks of Convention Center Boulevard separate this Hampton Inn from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center's main entrance, a flat six-minute walk that spares guests the taxi queue during trade shows. The Warehouse District's gallery row sits two blocks north.

Rooms hold the chain's standard suite layout with a separated sitting area, useful for business travellers spreading out contracts over a laptop. Free hot breakfast runs early, timed for convention hours.

The St. Charles streetcar line is a ten-minute walk east, linking straight through to the French Quarter without a car.
