Features
What to expect: This hotel is actually a group or "slice" of rooms housed in a much larger corporate tower. The lobby and registration desk are on the main floor, but the guestrooms are on floors 9–16. Ten miles from Downtown New Orleans, the hotel is host to many business travelers. Superdome/game fans also frequent the property. Amenity highlights: The hotel restaurant specializes in gulf seafood, and a ground-floor lounge offers big-screen TV. Guests also have access to the building's health club (fee). Insider tip: Though in the suburbs, this hotel is close to many restaurants: Mexican (Taqueros, 6.5 miles); Thai (Cafe Equator, 1.6 miles); Vietnamese (Pho Tau Bay, 1.2 miles); and even a satellite branch of New Orleans's premier beignet destination, Cafe du Monde (6.2 miles).
