Features
What to expect: The Hampton Inn is a large, five-story brick structure, circa 1900. The rough edges of its former life as a cotton mill and warehouse have been transformed into urban chic, offering loft-style accommodations and conference rooms. Situated in the city's burgeoning Central Business District, it directly faces the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. That proximity appeals mainly to business travelers, but vacationers also appreciate the pool and half-mile walk to the French Quarter. Amenity highlights: The 288 guest rooms and 12,000 square feet of meeting space make the Hampton something of a convention center unto itself. Groups of up to 630 people can be accommodated, and the building has state-of-the-art audio/visual services and in-house catering, plus laundry, outdoor pool, courtyard, and lobby bar. The catering focuses on New Orleans cuisine and regional styles. Insider tip: A broad public park, little known even to locals, is located next to the hotel. It has shaded benches for sitting and enjoying its green space.
Guests of the hotel enjoy a complimentary Continental breakfast each morning. Hotel deli - The simple deli serves American-style sandwiches just off the lobby, 5–11 PM.
