Location
Le Méridien New Orleans is located on Poydras Street in the Central Business District, two blocks from the French Quarter and steps from the Warehouse District’s galleries and restaurants. The Superdome is a 10-minute walk, and the famous streetcar line on St. Charles Avenue is nearby. Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY) is approximately 25 minutes by car.
The Property
Le Méridien New Orleans embraces the brand’s art-centric identity with rotating gallery exhibitions, a curated music program, and design-forward public spaces. The lobby features modern art installations and a sleek aesthetic. A rooftop pool and bar with city views, a fitness center, and meeting facilities provide the essential amenities. The hotel strikes a nice balance between chain-hotel reliability and boutique personality.
Check-In
Check-in is efficient. Bonvoy Platinum and Titanium members receive upgrades when available. The front desk staff provides good restaurant and activity recommendations — crucial in a city with overwhelming dining options.
Deluxe King
The Deluxe King room features Le Méridien’s signature contemporary design with clean lines, quality furnishings, and a comfortable king bed. The room includes a work desk, flat-screen TV, minibar, and coffee/tea setup. The rooms are modern and well-maintained. Higher floors offer views of the city skyline and the Mississippi River.
Bathroom
The bathroom is modern with a walk-in rain shower, single vanity, and Malin+Goetz amenities. Clean and well-designed. No bathtub in standard rooms.
Restaurants & Bars
Longitude 90 (Breakfast)
The hotel’s restaurant serves a breakfast that nods to New Orleans’ culinary heritage — beignets, shrimp and grits, and excellent chicory coffee alongside standard fare. The quality is above average for a hotel breakfast.
Rooftop Pool Bar
A seasonal rooftop bar with a small pool and panoramic city views. Craft cocktails and the New Orleans skyline make this a popular pre-dinner spot.
Bottom Line
Le Méridien New Orleans is a solid upscale hotel in a perfect location for exploring one of America’s greatest cities. The CBD location puts you between the French Quarter and the Warehouse District, the rooftop pool is a welcome amenity, and the art-centric design gives it more personality than a standard business hotel. An excellent base for a New Orleans visit.

Cash rates average $180-$350/night (Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest rates spike dramatically). Bonvoy redemptions run 40,000-60,000 points/night. At $250 average, a 50,000-point redemption yields ~0.50cpp — right at Marriott’s threshold. During major events, cash rates can exceed $600 and points become excellent.
