Marriott Renaissance hotel in a historic Common Street building, close to the St. Charles streetcar.
Renaissance New Orleans Pere Marquette French Quarter is a Marriott Renaissance hotel at 817 Common Street in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, housed in a historic building. The French Quarter, Canal Street and the Warehouse District are all about ten to fifteen minutes away on foot, and the St. Charles streetcar line is close by, offering rides toward the Garden District and Uptown. The building's historic character gives it more personality than the newer glass towers nearby, and the Common Street setting places guests among downtown offices, restaurants and bars. It is classed as mid-range, with nightly rates generally between about US$160 and US$350. Room types include King rooms, Double Queen rooms and suites, modern in style with comfortable furnishings. Listed amenities include a restaurant, a bar and a fitness center. The on-site restaurant and bar offer meals and drinks through the day, and the CBD, Warehouse District and French Quarter provide a large range of dining choices within walking distance. Service follows the Renaissance brand's full-service model, with attentive front-desk staff and facilities that suit business travelers, conference guests and leisure visitors alike. The streetcar access makes it a good base for visitors who want to ride to Audubon Park, the Garden District or Magazine Street shopping, and the Quarter is easily reached on foot. Evenings in this part of the CBD are quieter than in the Quarter, although event nights at the nearby Superdome and arena can bring crowds. Parking is typically provided by valet for a daily fee, and rideshares are readily available. Early booking is recommended for Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Sugar Bowl and large conventions, when availability becomes limited and rates increase above the usual range.
