Deep in downtown, Le Méridien New Orleans presents The Big Easy in all its glitzy glory. After a mega-million dollar refit, it mixes the city’s refined style and sense of fun, with pops of yellow and blue, music-inspired accessories, and reflections of New Orleans in its photography. Location’s key of course – it’s just 100 metres from Bourbon Street and Harrah’s Casino, and 300 metres from the French Quarter. And they’ve teamed up with The Sweat Social to bring you running tours, Priority Bicycles to offer bike hire, and three incredible art museums to give you complimentary entry. Returning to base, you can swim in the rooftop pool, dine on Deep South inspired dishes at LMNO, and take time out in The Hub – a café-come-bar with complimentary WiFi, a New American menu, and an evening aperitif hour featuring sparkling cocktails.

Best thing about this hotel is the location. Front desk staff is marginally competent at best. Not friendly. Certainly never answered the phone. Chat function on Bonvoy app poorly monitored. Bar area poorly stocked. Elevators slow. Rooms have awkward bathroom layout and very small. No charm at all. I’m sure you could do better elsewhere.
Outstanding staff

The room was quiet, comfortable, and clean. The staff—front desk, dining room, housekeeping—was outstanding. So friendly and warm, and the gumbo in the dining room is the perfect lunch on a rainy day. I will be returning to New Orleans and to this hotel!
Miss Joy is the BEST !!!

What a fabulous 3 night stay December 6 - 9. Miss Joy was the best receptionist / guide that I could have dreamed of. As a Marriott Elite member it is good to see that service has stepped up in all areas (rooms, restaurants, valet) since the Pandemic.
Staff is the best thing they have going

Property is underwhelming, but the staff is extraordinary. The reception desk staff, restaurant servers, and the housekeeping staff work hard and deliver in a kind and professional way. A special shout out to Kennesha and Jackson in the restaurant/bar - they are bright lights! The negatives are the dealbreakers and reasons I won't be back. Both evenings we were served $60 dine-in dinners in styrofoam containers brought to us in a grocery sack! We were told they ran out of plates. What hotel runs out of plates? The utensils at breakfast were plastic. The hotel, overall, is under staffed. It took almost 30 minutes to get our car from the valet with only one person in line before us. The bar was at capacity one evening yet there was only one bartender serving the bar and surrounding seating area. Nothing against the valet or bartender...they were working hard and remained calm, but there is serious understaffing by management. The "restaurant" doubles as the bar. It's by the hotel entry, so it's subject to the outside temperatures with the door opening frequently. Today it was freezing. Wearing coats and scarfs at breakfast is not ideal! There is a large space at the other end of the lobby, then no one utilizes… why not have the restaurant or bar there? As a lifetime platinum member, my Marriott experiences are many. This Le Meridian is on par with a Fairfield Inn. Read less
Awesome
