Le Méridien New Orleans

The W does minimalism with rock-star attitude. The lobby has black-lacquer picnic tables, overstuffed couches, and leather ottomans. The absence of rollaway beds for guestrooms signals that this hotel is for adults, whether traveling on business or pleasure. The \"Do Not Disturb\" signs read \"Leave Me Alone.\" The gym (personal training can be arranged) and a Caribbean-blue outdoor pool offer views of the surrounding hotels and casino. Three poolside, curtained cabanas feature TVs and wireless Internet access, and room service is available 24 hours daily. Guests also have access to the day spa located in the W\'s French Quarter hotel, 6 blocks away. Mother\'s, a favorite local restaurant specializing in Louisiana home cooking (gumbo, jambalaya), is across the street. * Le Meridien New Orleans opens following a comprehensive $29 million conversion of the former W Hotel.
