Location: downtown CBD vs inside the French Quarter

Le Méridien New Orleans – Location

Le Méridien sits on Poydras Street in the Central Business District within easy walking distance of the French Quarter and Canal Street.

  • About a 5-minute walk to Canal Street and three-minute walk to Caesars New Orleans Casino.
  • Roughly a 10-minute walk to Bourbon Street — quieter at night because it’s just outside the Quarter.
  • Streetcar stops and the convention center are within a short walk, handy for business and events.

Choose Le Méridien for a quieter downtown base with quick access to both the Quarter and CBD attractions.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel – Location

Bourbon Orleans Hotel is located inside the French Quarter, a short stroll from Bourbon Street, Jackson Square and French Market.

  • Address: 717 Orleans St.; steps from Bourbon Street and Jackson Square.
  • Close to Café du Monde, Royal Street galleries, and Preservation Hall — most Quarter sights are walkable.
  • Louis Armstrong New Orleans Intl. Airport (MSY) is the preferred airport; expect a roughly 25–35 minute drive depending on traffic.

Pick Bourbon Orleans for maximum proximity to the French Quarter’s restaurants, music venues and historic sites.

Rooms: modern guestrooms vs historic-style rooms

Le Méridien New Orleans – Rooms

Le Méridien offers contemporary rooms and a range of suites with city and river views.

  • About 410 rooms including Classic Room, Superior Room, River View, and multiple suite levels (Executive Suite, Luxury Suite).
  • Some accessible rooms available (roll-in shower options).
  • In-room WiFi is paid; complimentary WiFi is available in select public areas.

If you want modern rooms, more suite choices, and river-view options, Le Méridien is the better fit.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel – Rooms

Bourbon Orleans provides several room categories with traditional Quarter charm, including lofts and balcony suites.

  • 220 guestrooms with names such as Standard Room, 1 King Bed (St. Ann Petite King), Deluxe King, Studio with Balcony and Grand Corner Suite with Large Balcony.
  • Pillowtop beds with down comforters, flat-screen TVs, and complimentary wired and wireless internet.
  • Some accessible/ADA rooms are listed (e.g., Deluxe King ADA Guestroom).

Choose Bourbon Orleans if you want a historic-property room mix that reflects Quarter architecture and some balcony/loft options.

Dining & drinks: two solid on-site venues vs Quarter dining steps away

Le Méridien New Orleans – Dining & drinks

Le Méridien has two on-site venues that focus on Louisiana-inspired and New American fare.

  • LMNO Restaurant serves Cajun- and Creole-inspired New American dishes for breakfast, lunch and weekend dinner.
  • Longitude 90 is the lobby bar/café serving coffee, grab-and-go and handcrafted cocktails (6:30 AM–11:00 PM).
  • 24-hour room service is available.

Le Méridien suits travelers who want reliable on-site Louisiana-influenced dining plus a lobby café/bar.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel – Dining & drinks

Bourbon Orleans has an on-site restaurant and café/bar, and a huge selection of Quarter restaurants nearby.

  • Roux serves brunch at the hotel; a coffee shop/café and bar/lounge are also on property.
  • Cooked-to-order breakfast is available daily for a fee.
  • Being in the Quarter puts you within walking distance of many independent restaurants, cafés and bars.

Bourbon Orleans is convenient for guests who plan to eat and drink extensively in the French Quarter.

Pools & signature amenity: rooftop pool vs Quarter pool

Le Méridien New Orleans – Pools & signature amenity

Le Méridien’s standout amenity is its 4th-floor rooftop pool and pool deck.

  • Heated outdoor rooftop pool with complimentary lounge chairs, umbrellas and three private cabanas (reservable).
  • Pool shares the 4th-floor space with the 24-hour fitness center; hours reported variably by OTAs — confirm directly.
  • Poolside bar and occasional pool events have been offered seasonally by the property.

Le Méridien’s rooftop pool is a strong draw if you want sun, cabanas and downtown views.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel – Pools & signature amenity

Bourbon Orleans also has an outdoor pool and complimentary pool cabanas.

  • One outdoor pool on property with pool sun loungers and umbrellas.
  • Free pool cabanas are listed among amenities; poolside services and hours should be confirmed with the hotel.
  • Pool provides an on-site spot to relax after walking the Quarter.

Bourbon Orleans’ pool is useful for cooling off after a day in the Quarter, but it’s a hotel-in-neighborhood pool rather than a rooftop view deck.

Wellness & nightlife: gym access vs Quarter nightlife doorstep

Le Méridien New Orleans – Wellness & nightlife

Le Méridien offers 24-hour fitness facilities and a rooftop leisure area; nightlife is a short walk away.

  • 24-hour fitness center adjacent to the rooftop pool with cardio and strength equipment.
  • The hotel’s location near casinos and the CBD gives easy access to downtown evening entertainment.
  • Destination fee, paid in-room WiFi and valet parking are notable pre-booking items for cost-conscious travelers.

Le Méridien works well for guests who want gym access, rooftop downtime and nearby downtown evening options.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

Bourbon Orleans places you in the middle of the Quarter’s live music, late-night bars and historic venues.

  • The hotel lists fitness facilities; for full spa services, hours and named treatments are not published.
  • You are steps from Bourbon Street’s music and bars and close to live-music spots like Preservation Hall.
  • Front-desk, concierge and tour/ticket assistance make planning Quarter nightlife and guided activities straightforward.

Bourbon Orleans is better if you want to step outside into the heart of the Quarter’s nightlife and live-music scene.
