Fodor's Expert Review Harrah's New Orleans Hotel

228 Poydras St., New Orleans, Louisiana, 70130, USA Fodor's Choice

This spot is all about location, location, location—directly across the street from Harrah's New Orleans Casino, near the convention center and Riverfront attractions, close to the Warehouse District, the CBD, and the French Quarter. Public areas are richly decorated with marble floors, chandeliers, and plush furnishings. Guest rooms are larger than the local norm and have colorful accents, plush headboards, pillow-top mattresses, and Gilchrist & Soames bath products. Ruth's Chris Steak House, a chain founded in New Orleans, is off the lobby.

CONS
