Location: Warehouse District boutique vs riverfront convention hub

Virgin Hotels New Orleans – Location

Virgin sits in the Warehouse District/CBD, within easy walking distance of museums, Lafayette Square, and a 10–15 minute walk to the French Quarter.

  • Address: 550 Baronne St; close to St. Charles streetcar and the National WWII Museum
  • Good walkability to Bourbon Street, Superdome, and Union Passenger Terminal
  • Neighborhood leans restaurant, museum and gallery-heavy rather than tourist-packed streets

Choose Virgin for a compact downtown location that’s convenient for museums, the streetcar, and a short walk to the French Quarter.

Hilton New Orleans Riverside – Location

Hilton New Orleans Riverside sits on the Mississippi River near Canal Street and within a short walk of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

  • Address: 2 Poydras St; riverfront site with a walkway to the water and close access to Canal Street
  • Very close to riverfront attractions, Riverwalk Outlets, and casinos
  • Convenient for convention center access and Canal Street transit options

Pick Hilton Riverside if you want immediate riverfront access and proximity to the Convention Center and Canal Street.

Rooms: Chamber-style boutique rooms vs large-room inventory

Virgin Hotels New Orleans – Rooms

Virgin offers 238 Chambers across 14 floors with a signature two‑chamber layout and multiple suite options.

  • 238 rooms total with 11 suites and two Penthouse Suites; many rooms have separate lounge/dressing areas
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi included in every room
  • Room types include multiple city-view and balcony Grand Suites and the Penthouse options

Virgin's rooms are smaller in total inventory but emphasize modern two‑chamber layouts and boutique styling.

Hilton New Orleans Riverside – Rooms

Hilton Riverside is a large property with roughly 1,622 guestrooms designed to host both leisure and large group stays.

  • Large room inventory suitable for groups and conventions
  • Guestrooms described with pillowtop beds, down comforters, and 37-inch Smart TVs
  • Wireless internet in rooms available for a nightly surcharge

Hilton Riverside provides scale and standard-brand room features; expect a more traditional large-hotel guestroom experience.

Dining & drinks: focused flagship venues vs multiple outlets

Virgin Hotels New Orleans – Dining & drinks

Virgin concentrates its dining in three distinct venues anchored by Commons Club and a rooftop Pool Club.

  • Commons Club serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner with Southern/Mediterranean-influenced dishes and live music
  • Pool Club is a rooftop bar and kitchen tied to the 13th-floor pool; public access begins in the afternoon and non-guests must be 21+
  • Funny Library is a ground-floor coffee shop serving La Colombe coffee and pastries

Virgin is built around a flagship restaurant and rooftop scene—good for guests who want on-site social dining and drinks.

Hilton New Orleans Riverside – Dining & drinks

Hilton Riverside offers multiple restaurants, bars, cafés and room service (limited hours).

  • Two restaurants and two bars/lounges plus coffee shop/cafés and snacks
  • Buffet breakfast available for a fee during set hours
  • Room service available during limited hours
