Bottom Line

Set on bustling Bourbon Street on the site of the former French Opera House, Four Points by Sheraton French Quarter is an upscale hotel with an almost unbeatable location. The 186 contemporary rooms offer air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers, but no mini-fridges. Upgraded rooms and suites add balconies, some overlooking Bourbon Street (these come at a premium during Mardi Gras). Cafe Opera serves breakfast, while Puccini Bar offers southern fare, local beers, and opera singer performances. A lovely courtyard features an outdoor pool, sun loungers, and tables. Other amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, a 24-hour business center, meeting space, a convenience store, and a souvenir shop.  Guests looking for similar amenities closer to the convention center and the Central Business District might consider Doubletree by Hilton Hotel New Orleans.

Four Points By Sheraton French Quarter

Scene

A relaxing oasis on the doorstep of the city’s biggest party 

Partying on Bourbon Street is one of the first things that comes to mind for many people when they think of New Orleans, and the Four Points by Sheraton French Quarter gives guests a front row seat to all the action. Sitting directly on Bourbon Street, it’s hard to get any closer to the party. Those who spring for one of the rooms with a coveted balcony overlooking Bourbon Street are in the best spot to take it all in. Not surprisingly, those rooms, and the hotel in general, are in high demand during Mardi Gras and other events.

The hotel stands on the site of the historic former French Opera House and pays homage to its past in the names of its restaurant and bar, as well as in the local artwork that’s scattered thoughout the property. Tucked behind the hotel is a lovely, serene courtyard with an outdoor pool. Though Bourbon Street is just feet away, the space feels light years away from the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter. The hotel attracts an eclectic mix of tourists, families, and business guests, and often sees large blocks of rooms rented out by convention groups that want to spoil their guests with a prime location. The lobby and bar, which both face Bourbon Street, are particularly great spots to enjoy some topnotch people-watching.

Location

 On one of the liveliest blocks of Bourbon Street, close to several restaurants, bars, and shops 

When it comes to partying in the French Quarter, it doesn’t get much more central than the Four Points by Sheraton. Sitting at the corner of Bourbon and Toulouse Streets, the hotel is surrounded by some of the city’s most popular bars, restaurants, shops, galleries, and museums. Several major attractions are within a 10-minute walk, including Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, Cafe du Monde, Preservation Hall, and Louis Armstrong Park. The Central Business District is about a 10-minute walk away, across busy Canal Street. At Canal Street, guests can catch the city’s famous streetcar. A ride to the middle of the Garden District takes about 25 minutes. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is a 35-minute drive from the hotel.

Rooms

Clean, contemporary rooms, some with coveted Bourbon Street balconies

Rooms are bright, clean, and contemporary, with streamlined wood furnishings and modern amenities. Entry-level rooms feature either one king-size bed or two double beds. Free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers come standard, but there are no mini-fridges or minibars. Bright bathrooms feature marble countertops, tile floors, and hairdryers.
