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.

Our room was spacious and clean. The fitness room was well equipped. Location is good. Unfortunately we had service issues with housekeeping- no service one day, only partial number of towels & glasses not cleaned on another. Our carpet developed a pretty big wet area one day- we reported it and a big fan was dropped off, started up, and abandoned without comment. The main restaurant is closed so they are serving all meals in the bar area. So at breakfast the coffee is delivered in paper to go cups with no refills. Also, at the bar they weren’t able to make the cocktails that we ordered from the menu because they didn’t have the supplies. This all felt like cost cutting to me. I brought the problems to the attention of the front desk staff and they did what they were specifically asked to do but they were impassive- like they are used to getting these types of complaints. No sense of apology for the lack of hospitality.

Rooms were well designed, spacious and clean with fantastic views! Restaurant was small but service and food was excellent. Front desk service was great and location was fantastic as I needed to be near both the French Quarter and the Convention Center.

A wonderful hotel for touring New Orleans.

We stayed at the hotel for my birthday. The staff was very courteous & attentive. The location is excellent for touring downtown New Orleans. The room was modern & very clean. There's a beautiful pool area for swimming & lounging as well as an excellent bar in the lobby with great handcrafted cocktails. My family & I will definitely stay again.
