Sheraton Metairie New Orleans

Sheraton Metairie New Orleans is a full-service hotel at 4500 Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie, Louisiana, the suburban parish community just west of New Orleans. Veterans Boulevard is the area's main commercial strip, lined with restaurants, shops, and offices, and the hotel is a short drive from Lakeside Shopping Center. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is also reachable by a short drive, and the French Quarter and downtown New Orleans are a drive of roughly twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic. This is a car-oriented location, so it differs from the walkable hotels in the Quarter and the Central Business District. Rooms are offered as king and double queen configurations, and typical rates run from about US$110 to US$250 per night, which is lower than comparable downtown properties. Amenities listed include a pool, a restaurant, and a fitness center. The restaurant serves guests for breakfast and dinner, and a wide range of chain and local restaurants lies along Veterans Boulevard. Service reflects a business-oriented Sheraton, with a front desk that is accustomed to corporate travelers and small meetings. The hotel suits business visitors working in Jefferson Parish, travelers on airport layovers, families visiting local relatives, and budget-conscious guests willing to drive into the city. Parking is generally easier and cheaper than in the French Quarter. Visitors planning to spend most of their time in the Quarter should weigh the savings against the commute and parking in the city. The property is best viewed as a practical suburban base rather than a sightseeing hotel.
