What to pack for a stay at Virgin Hotels New Orleans
Quick answer

Pack smart for a stay at Virgin Hotels New Orleans: bring casual-chic daytime clothes and comfortable walking shoes for the Warehouse District and French Quarter, swimwear and sunscreen for the heated 13th-floor Pool Club, and a photo ID and a credit card for check-in (primary guest must be 21+). Also pack a power charger and any event-appropriate outfits if you plan to dine at Commons Club or attend rooftop events.

Travel essentials and documents

Bring a government photo ID and the card used for booking — the hotel requires the primary reservation holder to be at least 21 to check in. Keep a printed or digital copy of your reservation and the hotel's address: 550 Baronne St, New Orleans, LA 70113.

If you plan to drive, note that Virgin Hotels New Orleans offers 24/7 covered valet parking (no self-parking) with in/out privileges; confirm rates and requests at check-in.

Clothing: daytime, dinner, and rooftop

Daytime in New Orleans is casual; comfortable walking shoes are essential for nearby sights like Lafayette Square, the National WWII Museum, and Bourbon Street. Pack lightweight layers if you visit in spring or fall; summers are hot and humid.

Commons Club’s dress code is smart casual, so bring a neat outfit for dinner or live-music nights. The Pool Club rooftop has a casual-chic vibe—swim cover-ups or sundresses plus sandals work well for daytime; non-hotel guests must be 21+ to access the rooftop after public access begins.

  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Light layers (spring/fall) or breathable tops (summer)
  • Smart-casual outfit for Commons Club
  • Swimwear, cover-up, and sandals for The Pool Club

If you plan to reserve pool seating or VIP sofas, contact the hotel’s Pool Club team in advance; for day-pass details, check availability and any age restrictions.

  • Swimsuit and quick-dry towel (hotel provides towels but you may prefer your own)
  • Sunscreen and a hat

Virgin Hotels New Orleans does not operate an on-site spa or sauna, but the property provides a 24/7 fitness center with Technogym equipment; bring workout clothes and shoes if you intend to use it (access requires a room key).

Pack standard toiletries and any prescription medications. The hotel is 100% non-smoking; if you need accessibility or mobility aids, request details in advance from the front desk or concierge.

  • Workout clothes and athletic shoes for the 24-hour fitness center
  • Prescription meds and a small first-aid kit

Extras for events, weddings, and nightlife

If you’re attending or hosting an event at the hotel (Dreamboat, The Manor, or private rooms in Commons Club), bring any formalwear or event-specific outfits and copies of vendor or event-contact details. The hotel offers multiple event spaces with a range of capacities, and wedding packages are available.

For nights out in the French Quarter or local live-music venues, pack a lightweight jacket for cooler evenings and comfortable evening shoes — Commons Club follows a smart-casual dress code, and rooftop evenings are casual-chic.

6. Prices, fees, taxes & currency

Prices are shown in the currency indicated and include applicable taxes and fees unless stated otherwise; the total is displayed before you confirm.

Each rate carries its own cancellation policy, shown before you book (for example, non-refundable, or refundable up to a stated deadline). Refund eligibility and timing follow the policy attached to the rate you select. Service fees may be non-refundable.
