Full disclosure: After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, I spent six months living out of an Embassy Suites in Dallas. In the middle of so much uncertainty, that hotel gave me a sense of stability and comfort—and ever since, I’ve had a soft spot in my heart for Embassy Suites. So staying at the Embassy Suites by Hilton New Orleans during the Memorial Day weekend of 2025 felt like coming full circle, and I’m happy to say it did not disappoint.
The location is perfect—just a short walk to the Convention Center and close to the Cruise Terminal, the WWII Museum, and all the energy of the French Quarter. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff was genuinely welcoming. The made-to-order breakfast each morning and the evening reception added a special touch that made the stay feel more personal than transactional.
If you’re looking for a place that offers comfort, convenience, and a little bit of that “home away from home” feeling, this is it.
