Hotels in the Central Business District, New Orleans
The CBD puts convention access, rooftop pools, and a 10-minute walk to the French Quarter in the same corridor — the practical base when Bourbon Street rates spike or sell out.
Four full-service properties anchor the CBD: Hyatt Regency (8.9, convention skybridge), Kimpton Fontenot (8.9, rooftop pool, IHG), InterContinental (8.7, IHG, St. Charles), and Le Méridien (8.8, Bonvoy, Quarter-adjacent).
