Le Pavillon, New Orleans, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Slotted into the Central Business District on Poydras Street, Le Pavillon occupies a grand Beaux-Arts building two blocks from the French Quarter boundary — a four-star address that suits both convention-goers and leisure travellers wanting quick access to the Quarter without sleeping inside it.

The hotel's lobby columns and ornate plasterwork date to its 1907 opening, one of New Orleans' earliest purpose-built grand hotels. Rooms carry a sitting area, refrigerator, and coffee machine; meeting and banquet facilities handle smaller corporate events in-house.

A bar, restaurant, and room service cover evening meals without guests needing to venture out. The fitness center, daily housekeeping, and 24-hour front desk round out the practical tier expected of a Marriott Tribute Portfolio property.
