I had the best time at the Sheraton in New Orleans. The hotel was absolutely gorgeous and the staff were amazing (huge shout out to Chris in the bar, Tamara the security and Cara in the lounge).
T...I had the best time at the Sheraton in New Orleans. The hotel was absolutely gorgeous and the staff were amazing (huge shout out to Chris in the bar, Tamara the security and Cara in the lounge).
The room was very clean, bright and welcoming. There was coffee available, good wifi and a lovely shower. The sheets were luxurious and the pillows so comfortable that I had a great sleep every night.
The location is excellent, it’s about 5 minutes walk from Bourbon street, close enough to be a short walk, far away enough to avoid the noise. Additionally, the hotel is a 10 minutes walk walk to a shopping centre and the aquarium. It’s very easy to go on a wonderful walk beside the Mississippi River.
Next door to the hotel is the Selzac museum - it’s awesome, a great diversion for 20-30 mins and totally free. The hotel gives you a card that entitles you to a free shot glass - I would really take this up (I was sceptical that it was truly free, but it really is).
The bar was very lively and the drinks were reasonably priced (cheaper than outside the hotel). The bar staff were incredibly efficient and knowledgable (Chris and Roy) and the cocktails were very good value. On Friday night there as a DJ who spun tunes.
The lobby is lively during the day with families, cheerleaders and business guests coming through the doors. At 5pm ish there was a live food stand every day I was there (coffee and beignets, Mexican food, margarita, gumbo) to give you a free taste of this amazing part of the world.
The gym in on another level! It is a full, professional gym that I would expect from a high street gym. Lots of cardio machines, weight stacks, yoga mats, dedicated toilets and changing rooms.
Outside is a small pool for relaxing and looking up at the hotel. Closes at 9pm I believe. You can order room service there.
There is no guest laundry which is a shame, as lots of people I spoke to said they would have appreciated the opportunity to pack a little lighter. The receptionist said that you can go to the hotel opposite and use their facilities, but I wasn’t sure about that.
The only thing that I would tweak is the WiFi in the gym. The usual guest WiFi didn’t work, whilst the conference one did. Perhaps just sort that out please?
I usually have recommendations for improvements for hotels, but I could not have been happier at this hotel. It gave me everything I could wish for. Everyone was lovely and had an incredible sense of humour which really lifted my stay. I would 10/10 stay there again.Show More
