Suite

This suite has a city view over downtown New Orleans. The hotel sits at 555 Canal Street on the edge of the French Quarter, so you are looking out from the middle of the action. Blackout drapes keep the bedroom dark when you want to sleep in.

The suite has 1 king bed with premium bedding and a down comforter in a separate bedroom, and it sleeps up to 4 guests. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge, and a free crib is available for little ones.

At 708 sq. ft., it is a one-bedroom suite with the bedroom separate from the living area. That gives you space to work or unwind without sharing the room where someone is sleeping.

The private bathroom has a bathtub or shower, designer toiletries and a hair dryer. Accessibility features include grab bars by the bathtub and toilet, a height-adjustable showerhead, a transfer shower where specified, lever door handles and smooth flooring. Note that the hotel's main Canal Street entrance has stairs only, so it is worth planning your arrival with the front desk, which is staffed 24 hours.

You get a 55-inch flat-screen TV with premium channels, Netflix and pay movies, a coffee/tea maker, a refrigerator, air conditioning and limited-hours room service. Towels and bed sheets are changed on request. Guests can also use the complimentary fifth-floor fitness center, which has cardio equipment and free weights.

It suits both. The free crib and optional rollaway bed work for families, and the separate bedroom gives couples a little privacy. The hotel welcomes families and has a heated rooftop pool on the 5th floor with a shallower end of about 3 ft alongside a deeper pool of about 8 ft.

The location is very walkable. Bourbon Street is about a 5-minute walk, the Sazerac House is roughly 250 ft away, and Jackson Square is about a 10-minute walk (0.6 miles). The Canal Street Streetcar Line stops right outside the hotel, and the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas and the National WWII Museum are each about a mile away.

There are four on-site options. 5Fifty5 serves New Orleans cuisine, including an award-winning gumbo, for breakfast and lunch. 55 Fahrenheit is a cocktail bar with light bites and shared plates. Canal Street Burger Bar is open daily 11:00 AM to midnight. Canal Street Pantry serves pastries, sandwiches, salads and pizza from 6:30 AM to midnight.

Wi-Fi is available in the suite. Members of the hotel's loyalty program who book directly receive complimentary in-room internet, while other guests may pay a surcharge. Parking is valet only, at roughly $50.72 per day with vehicle height restrictions. The hotel has no shuttle, and Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is about 15 miles away, around a 20-minute drive.

Check-in is at 4:00 pm and check-out is at 11:00 am. The minimum check-in age is 21. The hotel is smoke-free and does not allow pets. If you expect to arrive after midnight, contact the hotel ahead of time.
