InterContinental New Orleans

InterContinental New Orleans is an IHG luxury hotel at 444 St. Charles Avenue in the Central Business District and Warehouse District of New Orleans, Louisiana. The St. Charles streetcar stops nearby, Canal Street and the French Quarter are about ten minutes away on foot, and the Warehouse District's galleries, restaurants and the National WWII Museum are close. The neighborhood is a mix of historic buildings and modern towers, and the avenue itself is the start of the city's famed streetcar route toward the Garden District and Uptown. The hotel is in the luxury category, with nightly rates generally between about US$200 and US$480. Accommodation includes King rooms, Double Queen rooms and suites, decorated in a contemporary style with views over the city from higher floors. Listed amenities include a rooftop pool, a restaurant, a bar and a fitness center. The rooftop pool offers an open-air spot for relaxing with skyline views, particularly welcome in the warm months. Dining on site covers breakfast through dinner, and the Warehouse District and Quarter hold a large number of notable restaurants within a short walk. The service character is that of an international luxury brand: attentive, business-friendly and well suited to leisure guests as well, with a front desk and concierge to assist with tours and reservations. The hotel is popular with conference travelers because of its position near the Convention Center and downtown offices, but its streetcar access also makes it a good base for exploring the Garden District, Audubon Park and the wider city. Evenings in the CBD are generally quieter than in the Quarter, though event nights nearby can add traffic. Parking is typically offered by valet for a daily fee. Booking early is advisable for Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Sugar Bowl and large conventions, when availability narrows and rates rise.
