Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
Rate this property
Even in a city known for indulging the senses, W New Orleans stands apart. One glimpse inside the stylish lobby, with its black-lacquer picnic tables and fire-engine-red chaise longues, and meeting guests can expect an event that's sophisticated but never dull. Even with the lively French Quarter just a walk away, meeting planners can promise peaceful slumbers, thanks to guest rooms that place a premium on comfort. A rooftop pool, fitness center, in-room spa treatments, and award-winning New Orleans cuisine at Zoe add to the downtime diversions.

The Ernest Morial Convention Center waits nearby, but the W itself features more than 10,000 square feet of cutting-edge facilities for corporate events and business meetings. And with its signature Recess Menu, the W New Orleans ensures that every event comes off with a playful spirit befitting its host city.

The hotel is trendy yet still needs updating. Overall the rooms seem to lack a clean crisp feeling. The bathrooms need updating and the windows in the guest rooms need to be scrubbed.
