The Hilton New Orleans Riverside accommodates groups of virtually every size and description with more than 1,600 guest rooms and 130,000 square feet of meeting space. In fact, the New Orleans, Louisiana, icon hosts not only board meetings and small incentive retreats but also the lion’s share of major conferences in town. A Crescent City favorite since 1977, Hilton’s 29-story Southeastern flagship rises from a prime location on the banks of the Mississippi River, adjacent to the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and the Outlet Collection at Riverwalk , a short stroll or trolley ride from the central business district and French Quarter. Harrah’s Casino lies right across the street.
Large groups appreciate the hotel’s proximity and partnership with the convention center, where the 60,000-square-foot Great Hall offers full rigging and seamless connectivity for up to 6,500 guests. Continued capital improvements at the hotel this year will renovate the Grand Ballroom and introduce a new speakeasy-style bar with craft cocktails and cozy spaces.
Between meetings and parties, guests take full advantage of the hotel’s veritable city within a city and head to the 90,000-square-foot Health Club by Hilton for tennis, racquetball, swimming, weight training, and a PreCor cardio theater. At mealtimes, they turn to River Blends Café for Starbucks coffee and pastries, Le Croissant for the Hilton Breakfast, and Drago’s Seafood Restaurant, a New Orleans dining institution.

This hotel offers an exceptional staff who pays great attention to detail. The rooms are comfortable with wonderful views and the onsite restaurants are truly amazing! The conference rooms are in the same vicinity which makes planning large meetings very easy. I highly recommend.
