Transportation

Hotels and Conventions
The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center officially reopened for business in June 2006.
Hospitality has always been one of New Orleans' key industries, and there is no shortage of hotels from which to choose. It seems that a new hotel opens or reopens in the city constantly. Some personal recommendations include The Windsor Court Hotel, and the Intercontinental Hotel New Orleans. Check here for a listing of New Orleans' hotels open for business.
