The Westin New Orleans Canal Place

Located at the foot of Canal, close to all river attractions including the Audubon Aquarium, the Insectarium and all things French Quarter, the Westin New Orleans makes an ideal homebase for families, groups and leisure travelers. Just treated to an impressive $30 million revitalization, the hotel's stem-to-stern renovation includes all 462 guestrooms and suites, all public spaces and - best of all - an eye-popping new 11th floor Bistro at the Bend restaurant and Observatory Eleven bar and lounge with stunning river views and an inviting circular bar, where craft cocktails are shaken and stirred. The new restaurant, under chef Daniel Mills, dishes southern comfort food with a focus on Louisiana flavors and local seafood.
