Best Hotels near Loyola University New Orleans

For friendly service and chic, upscale digs, vacationers recommend staying at The Jung Hotel & Residences. Originally constructed in the 1920s, the property sits within walking distance of the French Quarter and multiple entertainment venues, including the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and the Smoothie King Center indoor multipurpose arena. Each of the 207 guest rooms and suites features neutral decor in pale blue, yellow and beige hues, plus a marble bathroom equipped with two sinks, high-end toiletries and a walk-in shower with dual showerheads. Rooms also boast tech amenities like free Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs and Bluetooth alarm clocks with USB charging ports. Most travelers appreciated the spacious room layouts and contemporary interiors; however, some warned that noise from the hallways may prevent light sleepers from getting a restful night's sleep. Outside the rooms, you'll find 24-hour business and fitness centers, a heated rooftop pool, a coffee shop, two bars and a restaurant that serves contemporary Creole fare every day for breakfast and lunch. The lobby bar offers New Orleans classics at dinnertime, or you can walk or catch a streetcar (line Nos. 47, 48 and 49 stop outside the hotel) to one of the other eateries lining Canal Street.

Opened in December 2016, The Troubadour Hotel New Orleans sits in New Orleans' central business district by the city's two main entertainment venues – the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and the Smoothie King Center. Rooms and suites are adorned with quirky artwork and an "art deco-meets-70s-vibe," according to the hotel. All accommodations are equipped with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi access, cocktail stations, Jonathan Adelier toiletries and garment steamers. Outside the rooms, guests will find limited facilities – for example, there's no pool or spa on-site – but this Hilton outpost is home to a 24-hour gym, a casual bistro – Petit Lion – and a rooftop bar, Monkey Board. The rooftop bar has become a traveler and local favorite for its views of the city and relaxing atmosphere. The property can also host meetings and events in its business spaces. Some visitors were disappointed, though, that the hotel reversed its pet-friendly policy and no longer allows furry friends. Previous guests also mentioned the staff members could use some additional training in customer service. Members of the Hilton Honors program can rack up or cash in points when choosing to stay here.
