Omni Royal Orleans

New Orleans, The USA

The Omni Royal Orleans occupies a prime position in the very heart of New Orleans' French Quarter. From the timelessly elegant lobby, traditional full-service barber shop and complimentary shoe shine, to the fitness centre, the fabulous rooftop swimming pool and the observation deck overlooking the city, the Omni combines old-world charm with 21st century amenities.

By day you can relax with a refreshing drink in the poolside bar, while the award-winning Rib Room and Bar, famous for its 'washbucket martini', is an excellent option for dinner after perusing the vibrant streets of New Orleans.

OUR OPINION:

The Omni Royal Orleans really sets the benchmark on high quality hotels in the city. It’s hard to find a better hotel with the same level of Southern charm and character.

Location

The hotel is situated on the corner of St Louis at Royal, just one block away from Bourbon Street and within walking distance of the riverfront, as well as lots of shops and traditional Southern restaurants. If you'd like to venture a bit further out to the Garden District, you can take the iconic Streetcar from the French Quarter.

Standards are high at this property, with a selection of fine dining options to choose from. The Rib Room features classic and contemporary dishes, most of which are cooked in a rotisserie. La Riviera, the poolside bar located on the rooftop, is a fantastic place for some pre-dinner cocktails during the summer, while La Touché bar is popular among the locals.

In-room dining is available 24 hours a day. Half a block away is K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen — one of the top restaurants in New Orleans. The restaurant's owner, Paul Prudhomme, was one of America's first celebrity chefs, specialising in Cajun cuisine.
