Read it your way
Canopy By Hilton New Orleans Downtown is a modern property located in the business district within easy walking distance of the French Quarter. Guests appreciate the helpful staff, stylish bathroom fixtures with accessible walk-in showers, and unique on-site dining at Ginger Roux. However, some rooms suffer from tight, awkward layouts where beds are pushed right against closets without end tables, and noise from the hallway can filter through. 41512

What travelers noticed

Location

- “The hotel is in a prime spot just off where the palm tree-lined Canal passes by the French Quarter, which is reachable within minutes on foot. Many of the city's top museums, cafes, bars, restaurants and shops are nearby, too.” 4

- “Prefer a quiet stay - guests report the hotel is surprisingly quiet despite being in a busy area.” 15
- “Hydration stations occupy every floor, and guestrooms feature sliding privacy doors for bathrooms. The restaurant serves Crawfish Benedict. Made for culture seekers, and less so for anyone needing a quiet night.” 15
Service22 mentions · 1 filmed
- “Higgins. Very very clean, awesome staff and nice rooms.” 1
- “The Roosevelt staff is second to none but some rooms can be small.” 1
- “The Higgins is tough to beat. I stayed there on extended business and the service was great. Nice restaurants and bar. Concierge James is a gem.” 1
- “I stayed there about a year ago, it was really clean inside, the concierge was great.” 16
- “The Higgins has gorgeous rooms and amazing staff.” 1
- “Bklynhobo • 2y ago I've stayed here a couple of times and liked it! Good location, nice rooms and staff.” 1
- “Nice hotel, good rooms. Would stay again.” 1
- “Having recently stayed there over the Halloween weekend for an event, I'm not pleased with the overall service.” 8
- “And housekeeping. Friend had asked for a specific type of espresso and just that type, and they brought a mix. Second time she asked for that espresso and extra sugar and creamer, it took housekeeping an hour to bring that up.” 8
- “we have a valet for 45 a night so you can't beat that” On camera100:42
- “I visit NOLA alot....The Roosevelt is the place to stay. The staff is the best.” 1
- “The Higgins is tough to beat. I stayed there on extended business and the service was great. Nice restaurants and bar.” 1
- “I found the staff to be perfectly kind and helpful during my brief stay. They even accommodated me with early check-in and offered me a complimentary cup of coffee from the bar when they were understandably not able to get me into my room immediately upon my pre-lunchtime arrival.” 4
- “I liked the Homewood Suites on Rampart there. It's probably a 10 ish minute walk from Riverside. I stayed there about a year ago, it was really clean inside, the concierge was great.” 16
- “I stayed at the Canopy when I was in NOLA and I liked it. The staff was nice, and I really liked the food in their restaurant.” 1
- “The Higgins is tough to beat. I stayed there on extended business and the service was great. Nice restaurants and bar. Concierge James is a gem. It's tucked away enough to be quiet but close enough to walk to the quarter.” 1
- “Stayed at the Roosevelt a couple weeks ago, property is quite a bit dated, but the service was second to none.” 1
- “Spoke to the same employee face to face, he checked and said that the 2 mini fridges (how does a 15 story hotel have just two in the whole building?) were already being used.” 8
- “I stayed at homewood 901 Poydras St, New Orleans, LA 70112. Easy to get around. Walkable to a lot. Friendly staff. Good price.” 1

Room17 mentions · 3 filmed
- “The suite, on the other hand, was as amazing as any Waldorf property. Elegant, historical, but up-to-date.” 1
- “The room made smart use of space, like using a drawer in the foyer to double as the refrigerator, albeit an unstocked one.” 4
- “I've had this room before. It was large, but sparsely furnished.” 8
- “The bed was a bit uncomfortable, other than that the hotel is pretty nice, modern and clean.” 16
- “My only complaint about the property is the room decor is pretty dated imo and gives "grandma's house", but Draco's has great food and the property was big and beautiful!” 1
- “very nice room love the whole little design like no carpet and stuff” On camera1010:28
- “Ice machine dispenses Sonic-style bullet ice. Room was well-designed and comfortable with a nice view.” 15
- “Hilton Riverside was dated as f, and the room smelled funky.” 16
- “I stayed at the Troubadour back in 2018 (leisurely) and loved it. The room was nice, breakfast was good, and location was ideal for the most part.” 16
- “No need for a fold-out luggage rack in this room. The open closet lends you an immediate, out-of-the-way place to drop your bags and hang any clothes.” 4
- “The small room was the worst 4/5-star hotel room I've ever stayed in. Small is one thing, but weird layout (bed pushed against the closet), no end table on either side of the bed, half broken window frames, peeling paint, and the tiniest bathroom with no counter space.” 1
- “check out the rest of the room there's not much left besides our very massively dope view here like this is this is dope” On camera105:22
- “I liked the room a lot, especially the separation between the bed and sitting area. It felt spacious and well thought out.” 8
- “Even though I wasn't paying top dollar, I was pleased to find a Nespresso machine over a basic coffee maker.” 4
- “so we have a very nice what is this like a closet basically even got storage down here soft clothes love it laundry bags that's dope” On camera103:39
- “Edit: I ended up staying at Canopy. The hotel and location were great. The room was nice and clean.” 2
- “The room itself was a fairly average 342 square feet but stood out for its eclectic combination of colors and surfaces you wouldn't find at a more cookie-cutter property.” 4
Food20 mentions
- “I stayed at the Canopy when I was in NOLA and I liked it. The staff was nice, and I really liked the food in their restaurant.” 1
- “Don't miss out on Ginger Roux, the on-site restaurant serving a unique and delicious Creole-Cantonese fusion cuisine.” 5
- “My dessert pick of sweet potato pie spring rolls ($10) was also memorable. The spring rolls had a sweet potato interior with a semi-crunchy shell rolled in sugar and cashews and served with homemade whipped cream.” 4
- “If you must I think the canopy is newer and nicer and the restaurant is really good.” 16
- “All of the staff I interacted with were nice, the bed was comfy, and I ate at their restaurant twice - once for breakfast and once for dinner - and enjoyed both meals.” 16
- “At dinner, I started with the chili-lime cucumber salad ($10). It combined heirloom carrots, sweet peppers, hibiscus pickled onion and torn herbs with spiced peanuts and chili-lime vinaigrette dressing with just the slightest kick. I'm not normally someone who gets too excited about a salad, but this one was an exception.” 4
- “The menu features a short, specialized list of choices that stand out for their classic New Orleans flavors, but include a (sometimes subtle) Asian flare.” 4
- “When I visited Ginger Roux for dinner one night, the dining room was closed off to guests so I was forced to eat at the bar.” 4
- “While its food is on point, Ginger Roux seemed to still be getting the legs of its operation under it when I visited. The dining room itself was roped off during my stay, with all meals confined to the lobby or bar.” 4
- “Higgins. Very very clean, awesome staff and nice rooms. It's a great property and one of the better Hiltons. Good restaurant, nice little coffee area and a huge bar.” 1
- “Me and my friend both had the alligator for dinner, and it was delicious! They were a little understaffed, so the wait at breakfast was kind of long, but that was fine.” 16
- “Ginger Roux, the hotel's on-site restaurant, is not your typical meal from the hotel bar - even if you eat it at the bar, as I did. In a city rich with great food, its blend of Creole and Cantonese flavors hits the mark.” 4
- “The vegetarian breakfast served in the restaurant makes a great start of the day.” 12
- “During my one-night stay, the hotel's proximity to the city's biggest attractions allowed me to have a cup of coffee in the lobby, enjoy lunch and walk around the French Quarter, return to rest in the afternoon, have dinner at the hotel, and catch some jazz that evening in the French Quarter - all without any significantly taxing walks.” 4
- “I opted for what appeared to be the heartiest and perhaps most signature option on the menu, the New Orleans breakfast ($18), a combination plate of eggs, a biscuit, cheesy grits and brown sugar-rubbed praline bacon. I can still taste that sugary (but remarkably unsticky) bacon - and it likely would be the first thing I order if I return.” 4
- “Me and my friend both had the alligator for dinner, and it was delicious!” 16
- “The à la carte Ginger Roux restaurant is a great feature of this property.” 15
- “Stayed at the canopy, the food at the restaurant was not good and took forever.” 16
- “I stayed at the Troubadour back in 2018 (leisurely) and loved it. The room was nice, breakfast was good, and location was ideal for the most part.” 16
- “The restaurant itself has an open-concept feel, with plenty of natural light during the day.” 4

- “Stayed at the Hilton Garden Warehouse District. It's next to the convention center. So if there's no convention on prices can be very good. Not the best location within the city but not bad either. Just an additional 20-30 minutes of walking a day compared to something in the heart of the CBD.” 1
