JW Marriott New Orleans


Nestled across the street from the French Quarter on New Orleans' bustling Canal Street, the JW Marriott New Orleans offers a luxurious retreat for planners seeking gracious service, tasteful furnishings, and spacious conference facilities for their groups.

Each of the 494 guest rooms offers contemporary furnishings and a comfortable yet indulgent atmosphere. Morning newspaper delivery and terry robes add thoughtful touches, while Deluxe Revive bedding, consisting of cotton linens, duvet comforters, and down pillows, provide signature JW Marriott luxury.

Conference facilities epitomize grace, elegance, and sophistication. The 19,000 square feet of space breaks into 17 distinctive rooms on two floors. The showpiece Ile de France Ballroom is a natural for gala events, with crystal chandeliers, golden seats, and drape-framed windows that evoke a classic New Orleans ambience. State-of-the-art equipment, however, also keeps conferences contemporary. Behind the scenes, a seasoned team of event professionals stand by for expert assistance, with a dedicated contact devoted to every event.

When not in meetings, delegates can tour the French Quarter or Garden District or stay on-site to unwind at the new Serenity Spa at 614 Canal, by the heated rooftop pool, work out at the health club or sip cocktails at the lobby lounge bar. The on-site Shula's steak house elevates dining to a culinary event. The award-winning restaurant serves three meals a day, but merits special acclaim for dinner, which features Angus steaks and an extensive wine menu.
