Merion_Mom Posted January 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I have Hilton Honors points for my post-cruise stay. Which of these Hilton properties would you recommend for two "new to New Orleans" ladies after their cruise?: Hilton St.Charles Ave. Hilton Riverside Hilton Garden Inn French Quarter/CBD Homewood Suites Downtown Hampton Inn Downtown Doubletree 3 called "convention center" No car, so no parking issues. We love to walk. Also love to use public transportation. Actually, it's probably one night pre-cruise and two nights post-cruise. We do not have to stay in the same place both times. Recommendations from the experts, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Human Speedbump Posted January 12, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Of the hotels that you mentioned, I would choose the Homewood Suites on Poydras. It is a little further up Poydras, but that makes it a little quieter. It is easy walking distance to the French Quarter. My second choice is the Hilton Riverside. It is a massive hotel, with Drago's restaurant in the lobby. The casino is across the street, and they have some great food on Fulton Street, one block over. You could probably get a river-view room here and watch the river traffic. Also, there is easy walking access to the river-walk shopping area from this hotel. Hilton Garden Inn on S. Peters st. is nice and newly remodeled, It is a little further walk from the French Quarter, and I do not know if two ladies would want to walk that walk after dark. It is a nice hotel with a great staff. Hilton Garden Inn on Gravier St is really nice and is just finishing up a total remodel. It is a close walk to the French Quarter. I have stayed in all of these properties, I do business with hotels all over Louisiana and stay in NOLA at least 2 nights a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvsullivan Posted January 13, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2013 We normally do Marriott properties in NO, this year we chose Doubletree. Really great hotel. Just across the street from the casino, looking out onto Canal St. Minutes from everything a tourist would want to do!! Plan on using them for our next cruise.
