The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express New Orleans Downtown By IHG

Stay Close to the Music in Downtown New Orleans

Modern, convenient, and full of NOLA spirit, the Holiday Inn Express New Orleans Downtown is just three blocks from the French Quarter and five blocks from Bourbon Street. Whether you're headed to a stadium show at the Superdome or catching a set in a historic club, this hotel places you in the heart of the city's vibrant music scene. With clean, comfy rooms and essential amenities like free Wi-Fi and an outdoor pool, it’s a solid choice for music lovers on the move.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel delivers. You’re within easy walking distance of major concert venues, including the Superdome and the smooth jazz sounds drifting from Bourbon Street. Despite its central location, many guests mention surprisingly quiet rooms for a good night’s sleep after a loud night out. The 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out give you enough time to settle in and recover. Plus, with plenty of rideshare access nearby, getting to and from shows is a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to explore the city’s music and nightlife
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
  • Fans who prefer to unwind in a quieter, well-located spot
  • Budget-conscious music lovers needing solid value near the action

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full restaurant on-site, the hotel offers a free hot breakfast—perfect for refueling after a late night. You're also just steps from local eateries, food trucks, and late-night bites in the French Quarter. For those who crash early, you’ll appreciate the in-room coffee maker for a morning pick-me-up.

Nightlife Options

With Bourbon Street just five blocks away, you’re surrounded by live music venues, jazz clubs, and cocktail lounges. Though there's no bar on-site, the hotel’s location means you’re never far from a good time. Whether you want to dance all night or sip something local and smooth, you’ve got options.

What People Say

Guests love the proximity to attractions and venues, the friendly staff, and the clean, comfortable rooms. Many reviewers highlight the location as ideal for first-time visitors to New Orleans. The free breakfast and pool area are also frequently praised.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the hotel could use a few cosmetic updates, and others note that the parking fees are a bit steep. But with so much within walking distance, you might not need a car at all.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to New Orleans for a concert and want a clean, comfy, and centrally located hotel with easy access to venues and nightlife, Holiday Inn Express New Orleans Downtown hits all the right notes.
