InterContinental Hotels New Orleans

The staff in the lobby were incredibly warm and welcoming—felt like coming home, especially as a traveler from abroad. While the facilities aren’t cutting-edge, they’re well-maintained and comfortable, and the bed was exceptionally cozy for a restful night’s sleep. What truly stood out was how they handled my unexpected extension due to the hurricane. A friendly front desk agent personally upgraded me to a room with a balcony—such a thoughtful touch that made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Even though I couldn’t leave on schedule, the care and attention from the team made all the difference. This place truly goes above and beyond, and I’d absolutely recommend it.
