Attractions near the Convention Center
New Orleans hotels in the CBD area are located within walking distance of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center as well as many other of the city's key business areas such as Gallier Hall. However, the area is also close to many of the more popular activities ... within walking distance or a short streetcar ride to our world famous French Quarter and steps away from world-class New Orleans restaurants, festivities and shopping in the Riverwalk overlooking the Mississippi. When you stay in a Convention Center hotel, you'll be close to the French Quarter but will not have to deal with the traffic and nightly activity should you decide to return to your hotel to relax after a long day of fun in New Orleans, guaranteeing a quiet and peaceful night's sleep.
Hotels near the Convention Center are also a short walk to the New Orleans Superdome if you're coming to see a game. The Saints play their home games in the Dome, and it's home to the BCS Sugar Bowl every year.
