The oversized lobby of this hotel is usually bustling with conventioneers. A tropical atmosphere permeates the Pelican Bar, which presents nightly jazz and sells a fine assortment of cigars. Chef Chris Brown offers a nice balance of Creole and Cajun-style dishes in the airy second-floor Roux Bistro. Executive rooms come with many special amenities, but even regular guest rooms are spacious and well appointed. Expect top-quality service, but keep in mind that the hotel caters primarily to big convention groups. One of the great downtown eateries, the Palace Café, is right across Canal Street.

We stayed at the Sheraton in New Orleans and were initially very pleased. However, upon closer inspection we found the hotel lacking. The pool is miniscule. The room service is insanely overpriced, especially considering the Shoney's-esque quality. You have to pay extra to use the gym and there is no free wi-fi. The parking is atrocious and confusing, although this could be due to sidewalk construction outside the hotel. Overall, not worth the high price. Try the Loew's hotel for a real value.
