Loews New Orleans Hotel

Loews New Orleans Hotel is a modern high-rise at 300 Poydras Street in the Central Business District and Warehouse District of New Orleans, Louisiana. The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, the Superdome area and the National WWII Museum are within a short walk or ride, and the French Quarter lies about ten to fifteen minutes away on foot. The neighborhood combines business towers with the Warehouse District's galleries, restaurants and museums, making it a convenient base for both work and leisure. The hotel is positioned in the luxury category, with nightly rates generally between about US$200 and US$480. Accommodation includes King rooms, Double Queen rooms and suites, which are modern in style and many have skyline or river views from the upper floors. Listed amenities include a swimming pool, a restaurant, a bar, a fitness center and a pet-friendly policy, the last of which sets it apart from many New Orleans hotels. Dining on site is supplemented by the many restaurants of the Warehouse District, including some of the city's celebrated chef-driven kitchens, within walking distance. The service character is polished and business-oriented, with attentive staff and facilities that suit conference travelers, but the hotel also welcomes families and leisure guests, and its pet-friendly approach appeals to travelers with dogs. The St. Charles streetcar and the Canal Street lines are easily reached, helping guests explore the Garden District and the wider city. Evenings around the Warehouse District are generally calmer than in the Quarter, though event nights at the Superdome and Smoothie King Center can bring crowds and traffic. Parking is generally available through valet service for a daily fee. Booking in advance is wise around Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Sugar Bowl and major conventions, when rates rise above the usual range and availability tightens.
