The Spotlight on Holiday Inn New Orleans West Bank Tower by IHG

Comfy Convenience Near the Heart of New Orleans

Modern, newly renovated, and just across the river from downtown New Orleans, the Holiday Inn New Orleans West Bank Tower offers a relaxed, affordable stay with easy access to the French Quarter, Bourbon Street, and concert venues. Located in Gretna, this laid-back hotel provides a quieter home base without sacrificing location—perfect for music lovers who want to wind down after the show.

Each room comes with a mini-fridge and free Wi-Fi, and you'll find thoughtful features like an on-site gift shop, a 24-hour fitness center, and an outdoor pool to cool off after a day in the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel hits the right notes for music fans. It's just a short drive (or ride-share) to top New Orleans venues and the French Quarter, but its West Bank location means you’ll enjoy a more peaceful post-concert sleep. Flexible 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out times give you room to relax, and with parking available, it's a stress-free choice if you're road-tripping to a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a gig and wanting shared space with easy transport
  • Solo travelers ticking a dream concert off their bucket list
  • Couples planning a weekend of music and French Quarter fun
  • Fans needing a quieter recovery zone after a loud night out
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for comfort without the high French Quarter prices

Food and Drink Options

  • Round House Bar & Grill serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner—perfect for pre- or post-show meals
  • Grab-and-go snacks from the gift shop for late-night cravings
  • Plenty of nearby dining options in Gretna or just across the bridge in downtown NOLA

Nightlife Options

  • Quick trip to Bourbon Street for live music and late-night bars
  • Harrah’s Casino is nearby for music, drinks, and entertainment
  • Relaxed vibe at the hotel bar if you’re winding down

What People Say

  • “Clean, quiet, and close to downtown without the chaos.”
  • “The staff was super friendly, and the rooms were bigger than expected.”
  • “Loved having a restaurant right in the hotel—and the food was great!”
  • “Easy Uber ride to venues and Bourbon Street.”

Areas for Improvement

  • It’s not in the French Quarter, so you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to most venues
  • Limited walkable nightlife right outside, but downtown is super close

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a quieter, affordable stay just minutes from downtown New Orleans, Holiday Inn New Orleans West Bank Tower hits all the right notes.

Yes, it's true the property...

Liked: The breakfast was served in the restaurant on the Lobby level. Absolutely fabulous breakfast, and my only regret was I couldn't finish those delicious shrimp and grits. My server was a young man....eager to get my order perfectly right the first time. The front desk staff was outstanding. Any need we had was met with immediate attention and a friendly smile.
Disliked: The "mobility accessible" room I reserved was anything but. The tub was a normal tub. I had to request a shower chair. The tub surface was slick as ice! My friend who needed the special facilities was very disappointed in how treacherous her bathing experience was. If you reserve a room here, make SURE you're getting what you want.There was ZERO shelf or counter space in the bathroom! Only a toilet, a stand-alone sink, and a shower/tub combo. Not one place to put your toothbrush or even a comb. Nothing. Tissues are on the back of the toilet tank and extra towels and hair dryer on a metal wire shelf mounted in the wall over the toilet. One hook beside the shower for your towel. Water temperature and pressure were good but amenities are Dove products....so you may want to bring your own shampoo and conditioner.Beds were very comfortable. AC was cold and easy to adjust. Microwave wasn't working but we found out when we were packing to leave that we hadn't flipped the mystery switch by the door which activate the wall plugs where the microwave was. Refrigerator, however, was working fine.Room is pie shaped in this unusual round building, giving us extra room to move around. Shelf space seems to be an afterthought. There was none in the bathroom and just a little too much in only one part of the bedroom. Not really conducive for 4 friends, but we managed for the two days we stayed.Dinner the first night was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. Food was not prepared to order. We didn't receive good service, and our server realized she'd fallen far short of our expectations. And for the debacle our meal was, our bartender made up for it with the most delicious, refreshing bar drinks I'd ever experienced! Why this woman isn't working at a 5-star lounge downtown, I'll never know. She was A+ where the rest of our meal was a D-.Oh!

My stay was very peaceful...

Liked: I loved the view! The room was really nice and very well kept.
Disliked: The only thing I would change is the fact that my room only had a shower.. I prefer an actual tub.

Pleasant

Liked: In all my years of hotel stays, I have never seen a hotel not have any complimentary coffee available. You had to go into the restaurant and pay for a cup of coffee! Pretty ridiculous for a $290 night room!
