Location: Bourbon Street energy vs downtown calm

The Royal Sonesta New Orleans – Location

The Royal Sonesta sits at 300 Bourbon Street in the heart of the French Quarter.

  • Directly on Bourbon Street — immediate access to bars, street music and people-watching.
  • Walkable to Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, the French Market and several museums.
  • Streetcar and other transit options are nearby for trips to the Garden District and Uptown.

Ideal if you want to stay in the French Quarter and be in the center of nightlife and historic sights.

Le Pavillon, New Orleans, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel – Location

  • Close to the Caesars Superdome, Audubon Aquarium and civic destinations.
  • Quieter street-level setting than Bourbon Street but still walkable to many tourist sites.

Better for guests who want downtown proximity, shorter walks to convention centers, or a less rowdy street scene.

Rooms: scale and variety

  • Desire Oyster Bar on Bourbon Street for casual seafood and po-boys; PJ's Coffee Café for light fare.
  • The Jazz Playhouse offers live jazz on-site; Le Booze is a Bourbon Street bar for cocktails.
