New Orleans Marriott occupies a 41-story tower at 555 Canal Street, positioned at the edge of the French Quarter where Canal Street meets the Central Business District. The location is among the most accessible in the city for visitors relying on public transit: the Canal Street streetcar and the St. Charles Avenue streetcar both originate within one block, and the hotel is within a five-minute walk of the French Quarter, Harrah's Casino, and the Riverwalk Marketplace. The hotel offers 1,290 rooms and suites, one of the largest room counts in New Orleans, configured as Standard Rooms, Deluxe City View rooms, Junior Suites, and Executive Suites. Upper floors on the river-facing side offer notable Mississippi River panoramas. An indoor pool, fitness center, and business center serve both leisure and corporate guests. The on-site restaurant provides American and Louisiana-accented fare, with room service available throughout the day and evening. A concierge desk assists with tours, dining reservations, and transportation. The hotel's conference and meeting facilities make it a frequent choice for corporate groups and convention overflow from the nearby Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. While lacking the boutique character of smaller French Quarter properties, the Marriott's room consistency, high-floor river views, and Canal Street transit connections make it a practical base for first-time visitors to Louisiana and groups requiring large room blocks.
