Spacious Suites in the Heart of Downtown New Orleans

Modern and laid-back, Sonesta ES Suites New Orleans Downtown offers a welcoming home base right in the heart of the city. Just steps from Bourbon Street, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and a quick ride to the Morial Convention Center, this all-suite hotel puts you close to the action without sacrificing comfort. With a contemporary vibe, generous room sizes, and thoughtful amenities, it’s a solid pick for travelers looking to blend music, fun, and relaxation.

Each suite comes with free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, and private bathroom, plus a light prepackaged breakfast to get you going. Guests also enjoy access to the on-site fitness center — ideal for recharging before or after your show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is king here: you're less than a mile from the Superdome and a short walk to Bourbon Street's iconic venues. With late check-in (from 4pm) and easy-to-arrange parking, it's perfect for those rolling into town right before a show. Despite its central location, guests say it’s relatively quiet at night — ideal for winding down after a high-energy concert.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want to stay together in spacious suites
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist
• Couples enjoying a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans seeking quiet after a loud night on Bourbon Street
• Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without sacrificing location

Food and Drink Options

You’ll get a simple grab-and-go breakfast (think muffin, fruit, granola bar, and bottled water), plus there's a coffee station to help you recover from a late night. While there's no on-site restaurant, you’re within walking distance of countless eateries, from quick bites to classic New Orleans fare. Late-night food is never far in this part of town.

Nightlife Options

With Bourbon Street less than 15 minutes away on foot, your nightlife options are virtually endless — clubs, jazz lounges, and dive bars galore. Prefer a more chill vibe? There are also several relaxed spots nearby serving local craft cocktails and live music most nights.

What People Say

Guests love the location — central, safe, and walkable to major music venues and attractions. The clean, spacious rooms and friendly bilingual staff also earn high marks. Many reviewers appreciate the value, especially for longer stays or group trips.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests noted the breakfast could be more substantial, and while parking is available, it comes at an extra charge. A few mentioned that the lobby lacks a social vibe — but with all of New Orleans outside your door, you may not miss it.
