Hilton New Orleans Riverside stands at 2 Poydras Street in the Warehouse District, directly adjacent to the Mississippi River and the Riverwalk Marketplace. The hotel comprises two connected towers with a combined inventory of approximately 1,622 guest rooms, making it one of the largest hotels in Louisiana. Its riverside position provides direct access to the Riverwalk pedestrian path along the Mississippi and places it within a short walk of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Harrah's Casino, and the Warehouse District gallery cluster. Rooms are configured as Standard Rooms, City View rooms, and River View Suites; rooms on the upper floors of the riverside tower offer unobstructed panoramas of the Mississippi River and the Algiers Point ferry crossing. An outdoor pool deck, a signature steakhouse, a full-service spa, and a fitness center serve the hotel's large guest population. Business facilities include a substantial meeting and event space capable of hosting major conventions. The hotel's connection to the Riverwalk allows guests to walk directly to the Aquarium of the Americas, the Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium, and the Canal Street ferry terminal. The French Quarter is approximately a ten-minute walk north along the riverfront or via Poydras Street. The hotel is a popular choice for convention groups attending events at the convention center and for leisure travelers who prefer a riverfront setting over a French Quarter address.
