Residence Inn by Marriott New Orleans Elmwood

Relaxed Comfort Just Outside the Big Easy Beat

Modern and spacious, the Residence Inn by Marriott New Orleans Elmwood offers a laid-back home base just outside the city’s vibrant core. Located in Elmwood, this 4-star hotel gives concert-goers a peaceful retreat with easy access to New Orleans’ top music venues and nightlife, all while offering plenty of creature comforts like free WiFi, an outdoor pool, and complimentary breakfast.

Whether you're heading out for a high-energy show or winding down after one, this all-suite property blends convenience with quiet comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music lovers appreciate the hotel’s easy access to downtown New Orleans without the chaos of staying right in the French Quarter. It’s just a short ride from the airport (about 5.6 miles) and under 7 miles from major venues and attractions. After a loud show, the quiet suburban location offers a welcome break, and the late 12:00 PM checkout gives you time to sleep in. Plus, with 24-hour front desk service and free bikes, getting around is simple—even after a night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends – Spacious suites and a shared kitchen make group stays easy
• Solo travelers – Safe suburban setting, with easy city access
• Couples – Comfortable atmosphere for a concert getaway weekend
• Fans needing quiet – Unwind post-show in peace, away from the noise
• Budget-conscious fans – Great value with free breakfast and kitchenettes

Food and Drink Options

After a late night of music, you’ll be glad for the hotel’s buffet and continental breakfast, served daily—perfect for a slow morning start. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the Elmwood neighborhood offers walkable dining options and delivery-friendly spots. Each suite includes a fully equipped kitchen, ideal for late-night snacks or pre-show meals.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel sits outside the French Quarter, guests are a quick rideshare away from New Orleans’ legendary live music clubs, bars, and lounges. After the show, return to the shared lounge or outdoor terrace for a low-key nightcap. No on-site bar means quieter nights, but plenty of local spots are close by.

What People Say

Guest reviews highlight the hotel’s clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and great value. Many note the convenient location—close enough to downtown for concerts and sightseeing, but far enough to enjoy a restful night’s sleep. The outdoor pool and gym are also popular with travelers looking to unwind or stay active.

Areas for Improvement

While the suburban location is a plus for quiet, it does mean you’ll likely rely on a car or rideshare to get to most venues. Some guests mention limited on-site dining, but the in-room kitchens help make up for that.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for comfort, space, and a quieter stay after a high-energy night out, Residence Inn by Marriott New Orleans Elmwood hits all the right notes.
