The Westin New Orleans

The riverfront tower at the foot of Rue Iberville, The Westin New Orleans rises above the Mississippi where the French Quarter meets the Central Business District, its upper-floor rooms framing barge traffic and the Crescent City Connection. Canal Street's streetcar line runs a block away, and Jackson Square is a ten-minute walk through the Quarter's edge.

Rooms use the brand's Heavenly Bed above street noise that reaches lower floors on weekend nights. A fourth-floor pool deck overlooks the river rather than the parking structure most CBD hotels face.

The location suits business travelers tied to the convention center and visitors wanting Quarter access without sleeping inside its loudest blocks.
