Le Meridien New Orleans

New Orleans, Louisiana

Virgin rating

The hotel

Deep in downtown, Le Méridien New Orleans presents The Big Easy in all its glitzy glory. After a mega-million dollar refit, it mixes the city’s refined style and sense of fun, with pops of yellow and blue, music-inspired accessories, and reflections of New Orleans in its photography. Location’s key of course – it’s just 100 metres from Bourbon Street and Harrah’s Casino, and 300 metres from the French Quarter. And they’ve teamed up with The Sweat Social to bring you running tours, Priority Bicycles to offer bike hire, and three incredible art museums to give you complimentary entry. Returning to base, you can swim in the rooftop pool, dine on Deep South inspired dishes at LMNO, and take time out in The Hub – a café-come-bar with complimentary WiFi, a New American menu, and an evening aperitif hour featuring sparkling cocktails.

Really nice accommodations!! The best location in the city in CBD, close to the action but quiet enough to keep me sane. Had a bit of wonkiness at first due to reservations through a third party platform not being in hotel’s system promptly but corrected by senior hotel management.

Really nice accommodations!! The best location in the city in CBD, close to the action but quiet enough to keep me sane. Had a bit of wonkiness at first due to reservations through a third party platform not being in hotel’s system promptly but corrected by senior hotel management. Otherwise a first class stay and I will be going nowhere else when I go back to NOLA. Beds were wonderful. Room was great, mostly quiet and great views . Pretty good size room with two queen beds. Room service daily which made it wonderful. My roomie snored too much and I was tempted to use one of the comfy pillows on him but let it pass :) Seriously, a wonderful stay and first class service. Nice pool and gym. Good coffee choices nearby within a few blocks too (Starbux and Revelator and others). Read less

The hotel was beautiful and so convenient to the trolley and Jazz Fest. Clean and comfortable and the bellhop Albert was so helpful with our bags. We Will definitely be back! They also kept our car safe because it was too tall with our roof top carrier for the covered parking lot!

I had a mix up at another hotel right across the street and so glad I did because I stumbled on this hotel. An amazing experience so let me begin to give shout outs starting with the check in process with Sherron, thank you so much for seeing my tiredness and giving me the look that everything would be ok. Your kind words and quick check in gave me peace of mind. To Sharde, and Sharon for making certain that I knew where to go when looking for food late at night. To the general manager Mr. Jacques for expeditiously responding to my email and to Keounta for listening to my needs. The wait staff in the restaurant were excellent but unfortunately I didn't get their names. The car check in was easy and the attendants attentive. Staff members were attentive to the customers. The hotel was clean and the work out facility in addition to the rooftop pool was great. Professionalism and cleanliness without the stuffiness. It's the place to be. I'm coming back and staying with you. Read less

Hotel stay was very accommodating. Attended the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated Regional Conference. One member of the staff at front office needs special recognition; Ms. Coco - she was especially professional and helpful. Provided recommendations and assisted with family activities/attractions. I will be returning here again.
