Oyster Hotel Review
Courtyard by Marriott New Orleans Downtown near the French Quarter
Scene
Bright and colorful public spaces
Courtyard New Orleans Downtown Near the French
Quarter occupies a corner building, and the facade has balconies running along the second floor in the style that's typical for New Orleans. The modern lobby is cheery and bright, thanks to an atrium ceiling and large windows that let in lots of natural light. There are many cozy public spaces for guests to relax and mingle, like the Starbucks cafe located in the lobby and the numerous seating areas made up of clusters of sofas, or groups of tables and chairs. The hotel is especially popular with couples visiting New Orleans on vacation. Families stay here too, but they're not especially catered to.
