Embassy Suites Hotel

New Orleans


Great for an annual group getaway, every room here is a large suite and no two are exactly the same. Most have balconies; higher floors have views of the city and the river. Adjoining historic loft-building rooms, in what was once a cotton warehouse, have tall ceilings and exposed-brick walls.

Beyond the rooms, the architecture astonishes with its vast size and a cacophony of angles, but the eccentric design grows on you. The soaring atrium is indeed impressive.
