The Doubletree Hotel Downtown New Orleans sits in the heart of the Big Easy's excitement, on Canal Street next to the city's business and entertainment districts and overlooking the Mississippi River. Just 15 miles from the Louis Armstrong International Airport, the Doubletree is across the street from the decadent French Quarter and Harrah's Casino, and within walking district to hundreds of shops and restaurants. Guests are just two blocks from the Riverwalk Marketplace and the Aquarium of the Americas, and a half mile from the Louisiana Children's Museum. The hotel is located across the street from the Rivercenter Racquet and Health Club where visitors can play tennis, racquetball, squash, take golf lessons or shoot hoops.

At the Doubletree, a 36 foot heated pool overlooks the city from the fourth floor deck of this 17 floor hotel, where travelers also can find a business center, fitness facility and Cajun Creole cuisine at Lafitte's Restaurant, where they can get tastes of authentic New Orleans with jambalaya and crawfish etouffee. The hotel lobby's Sweet Dreams Café dishes up specialty coffees, continental breakfasts, pastries, and light lunches.

The Doubletree's 367 feature country French hardwood furnishing, 27 inch TVs, work desks, high speed Internet access, fancy Neutrogena toiletries and other amenities guests expect of a nationally known chain in this type of city.

Leisure travelers enjoy the Doubletree Hotel's location to all the action, while corporate travelers return for the amenities and easy access to the central business district just outside the front door.
