Read it your way
The Hyatt Regency New Orleans is a massive high-rise hotel situated directly next to the Superdome. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, club lounge offerings, and impressive views across the city. However, reviewers regularly report poor in-room working conditions, citing unreliable internet connections and bedroom setups that lack a true desk and proper chair. 106

Location23 mentions
- “We stayed at the Eliza Jane and loved it. Close enough to the quarter for fun but quiet at night. And able to easily get a bus heading toward the Garden District.” 4
- “From my vantage point now, I liked the Hyatt Regency the best. It is a little off the well-worn French Quarter track, and isn't particularly pedestrian friendly as it's technically in the CBD (Central Business District), but I had no trouble getting around on foot. Might be a consideration for others, though.” 2
- “2. Eliza Jane Some people love this property but I just don't. That said, it's the next best choice. Second best location a few blocks from Canal Street and the French Quarter.” 10
- “Conveniently located within walking distance of the French Quarter and next to the Superdome, the Hyatt Regency New Orleans puts guests in the heart of the action.” 6
- “1) The best location if you are attending events at the Superdome. Essentially contiguous. It's a decent walk to the Quarter and best done by cab at night.” 18
- “The location is good, and easy to walk to things in the French quarter.” 5
- “While it's a bit far from the French Quarter via walking, it's located RIGHT next to the superdome and seems to be more popular for conventions and weddings.” 3
- “4. Hyatt House/Hyatt Place One is near the Hyatt Regency the other is somewhere in the Warehouse district. Not great locations.” 10
- “- Not an easy walk to the French Quarter, kind of isolated from CBD” 18
- “I have parked at the HH/HC garage before when I was staying at a different hotel, so that's why these two were my first choice. I did enjoy the location and it felt like a safe garage to leave your car in.” 4
- “ducky743 • 2y ago Top 1% Commenter Of the three you mention, I like the Hyatt Place location the most, but they're all kind of boring for New Orleans We stayed at the Eliza Jane and loved it. We stayed at the Eliza Jane and loved it. Close enough to the quarter for fun but quiet at night.” 4
- “I like the Eliza Jane. It's a Cat 5. The cash rates are normally pretty reasonable, so it can be a not-so-great points play. You're not going to be wowed by the hotel, it has its charms. It's a better location than the Centric, which is basically on Bourbon Street, which-unless you like cheesy, overprice restaurants or power drinking-isn't a place you'll want to spend a bunch of time.” 5
- “3. Hyatt Regency An impressive massive atrium-style Hyatt, but a business/convention hotel at its core. Not the best location and you'll spend a lot of time walking/waiting for Ubers to go just about anywhere.” 10
- “Of the three you mention, I like the Hyatt Place location the most, but they're all kind of boring for New Orleans” 4
- “I always stay at the Hyatt House when in New Orleans. But, that is because: 1. I like the location just fine. It is away from the touristy areas, and I enjoy walking the mile to locations in Bourbon Street, the riverfront, or the arts district” 10
- “First 1-2 times you are in NOLA, yes, it's gotta be the Centric. Can't argue with these recommendations. It is steps from the action.” 10
- “Great location, especially if you're French Quarter-curious without wanting to be in the middle of the French Quarter madness.” 5
- “1. Hyatt Centric Great location (doesn't get any better), decent hotel w/character.” 10
- “My suggestion would be the Eliza Jane. Close by not too close to the French Quarter, in its own charming-ish neighborhood, good restaurant for breakfast and others nearby, extremely charming and unique architecture, high quality furnishings, beds, etc.” 10
- “Some comments I read prior to going to New Orleans suggest Hyatt Regency French Quarter is a better location. For me the Hyatt Regency New Orleans was fine. Both hotels are about the same distance from the Convention Center on the riverfront, slightly over one mile. I enjoyed walking the quieter, less busy streets between the convention center and the Hyatt Regency New Orleans.” 11
- “Head here to experience elevated Southern hospitality in a Lower Garden District setting with a swim-up bar in the back.” 9
- “The location is terrific, right on the edge of the French Quarter, but outside of the main brouhaha.” 5
- “the HH/HC garage before when I was staying at a different hotel, so that's why these two were my first choice. I did enjoy the location and it felt like a safe garage to leave your car in.” 4
Room17 mentions · 1 filmed
- “I had a great view of the superdome from my hotel room.” 3
- “The staff at the hotel couldn't have been nicer, but the room was not in great shape, and despite the area being so central, I never quite felt safe.” 17
- “The "upgraded" room wasn't near the charming suite that I'd remembered from before, the food was mediocre to awful, the service extremely uneven. It has perhaps the slowest four-floor elevators I've ever seen. Even the internet stunk.” 5
- “Tired. It's a party hotel and the rooms feel like they've seen their fair share. Our room had very high ceilings and doors that opened up on to a courtyard.” 17
- “and at the Government rate this room is a complete steal” On camera151:34
- “I loved that there were two easily-accessible plugs on either side of the bed!” 13
- “Won't need the pull-out bed but the extra space that it requires is nice to have in the room.” 4
- “The "upgraded" room wasn't near the charming suite that I'd remembered from before, the food was mediocre to awful, the service extremely uneven.” 5
- “For those that are Globalist, I regularly received upgrades at this HH which is not required. That said, I don't know how the standard room is, but I always preferred the rooms at HH over those at Regency despite upgrades at Regency as well.” 4
- “The room itself was easily big enough for two. Really nice layout. Plenty of room to sit and work, and the king sized bed was awesome.” 2
- “Only Hyatt Regency Club members with Platinum status get free in-room Wi-Fi, everyone else has to pay for it.” 16
- “Maybe it seemed smaller because of the freestanding wardrobe near the entry/bathroom door. A closet would be nicer.” 18
- “The desk also had easy-to-reach plugs on its side. Kudos for that!” 13
- “Even the elevators are efficient and room key-activated.” 16
- “Getting to the elevators from the front desk is a little bit of a trek because this is a convention hotel so while the front desk was on the ground floor, it was actually necessary to take escalators up to the third floor to be able to reach a point where we could get on the elevators.” 13
- “I only sat on the sofa for a little bit but in looking at it later it seems to have been well-used during its life and refreshing the seat cushions wouldn't hurt.” 13
- “Suite Upgrade: I booked a standard room and used a suite upgrade award, which put us in a 550 sq ft Petite Suite that didn't seem significantly different from a normal two-queen room.” 5
Value7 mentions
- “While some past guests caution that the nightly rate is a bit steep compared to competitors, they say the clean, comfortable rooms and convenient address are well worth the price tag.” 6
- “Good prices, new and shiny.” 10
- “Prices can be very high here, but I find deals and/or use points. Great value for 15,000 points per night or free night cert.” 10
- “Spot on review of a disappointing and overpriced property with significant management problems.” 5
- “I just booked a 3 nights stay at hyatt centric during Xmas. and the average night rate is ... 100$! not a very common price for a cat4 hotel” 10
- “I like the Eliza Jane. It's a Cat 5. The cash rates are normally pretty reasonable, so it can be a not-so-great points play.” 5
- “The daily room rate is so inflated that it makes a stay on points a relative "bargain" - but don't be fooled by that, as the experience remains unpleasant.” 5
Service17 mentions · 1 filmed
- “Within the property, all of the staff I came into contact with were warm and professional, without exception.” 2
- “The staff has always been very good too.” 10
- “The bell guys and valet were terrific.” 5
- “The staff at the hotel couldn't have been nicer, but the room was not in great shape, and despite the area being so central, I never quite felt safe.” 17
- “confusing at first, but having an updated program guide available on-screen is a nice touch.” 18
- “Service: We were there for four nights, but somehow housekeeping missed us every single day after the first. We had to repeatedly call down for towels, coffee and tissues (my wife had a bad cold).” 5
- “With your status I'd request a pool deck room as they are great - you can open your door and be in a courtyard w/pool and nice bar area in 5 seconds.” 10
- “+ Staff is trying very hard” 18
- “The high ceilings here are fabulous and the sitting area was a nice place to work.” 5
- “but I love the separate living area you can host a nice party here wet bar microwave wine fridge down below plenty of storage a safe inside of there plenty of seating for I mean you can have a party here for about 10 or 15 very comfortably” On camera150:47
- “4) Staff were very pleasant and attentive, despite being full. I had errors on my bill that required manager assistance and the on-duty manager was very attentive and followed through promptly.” 18
- “The trademarked Hyatt Grand Beds are plush and topped with quality white linens.” 16
- “The morning breakfast service is fairly chaotic and it's not immediately clear where you should sit or eat. Once more than a few tables show up, the servers start getting frazzled.” 5
- “+ Elevators are "ordered" electronically. Means quicker service and hardly ever needing to share with someone going to a different floor.” 18
- “The elevators in themselves are a bit tricky but fortunately there was a staff member on hand to assist, as there was both evenings were there while lots of folks were checking in.” 13
- “- Valet/drop off area woefully undersized & poorly designed. This will be a troublepoint when the hotel gets above 25% occupancy” 18
- “Staff is trying very hard, although the front desk seems a little green, still.” 18
Noise8 mentions
- “To access a floor, you scan your room key underneath the keypad. It will automatically light up your floor but if you want to go to a different one (like the club) then you select that button instead. Once it knows which floor you want, it will assign you to one of the elevator cars. This usually worked pretty well.” 13
- “The really noisy rooms are the ones facing the street. They leave earplugs on the nightstand...and you will need them as traffic at night on Iberville backs up during busy times (weekend nights, mardi gras or other festivals) and noise from nearby bars and Bourbon St.” 17
- “If you're going to the French Quarter/Bourbon Street you'll want to cab it, but for Superdome events this is the spot.” 18
- “The Hyatt Centric is right in the thick of the French Quarter, literally on Bourbon street, and is currently undergoing renovations on the common areas. The area is just way too hectic for my taste, and smells of urine, vomit, and sweat.” 17
- “ducky743 • 2y ago Top 1% Commenter Of the three you mention, I like the Hyatt Place location the most, but they're all kind of boring for New Orleans We stayed at the Eliza Jane and loved it. We stayed at the Eliza Jane and loved it. Close enough to the quarter for fun but quiet at night.” 4
- “The elevator system is funky - you type in your floor or swipe your key card and it tells you which one to go to. No buttons in the elevators. Only two of the eight go to the Regency Club - that was the only time I waited. System worked great except after the football game, when the system overloaded and soon every elevator was flashing that it was stopping on every floor.” 18
- “If you stay at the Regency you can get a $5 daily pass for public transit and get on the street car right in front of the property that takes you to the French Quarter (it's also not a long walk). We did that every day and it was so convenient.” 4
- “It's a party hotel and the rooms feel like they've seen their fair share. Our room had very high ceilings and doors that opened up on to a courtyard. We feared this could get quite noisy at night, but luckily, we never had any issues.” 17
Food16 mentions
- “I did not take photos of the lounge food. Breakfast had limited items with only hot oatmeal and grits. There were no hot eggs or meats in the morning.” 11
- “For the one night I had dinner, we ate at the in-house seafood restaurant, which was quite good and fairly reasonably priced (that is to say, a little more than I'd spend if I was just going out by myself for dinner here at home).” 13
- “The restaurant offereings were quite good.” 18
- “Globalists can choose an entrée, side and coffee drink. We were there four mornings and the food quality oscillated wildly from pretty good to inedible. We actually sent back two items one morning, something that I haven't done for years.” 5
- “Breakfast was less exciting -- standard continental fare...nice croissant/muffins, bagels/toast, cereals, fruits, plus hot oatmeal.” 18
- “1. Hyatt Centric Great location (doesn't get any better), decent hotel w/character. Converted department store. Good food.” 10
- “Do the Eliza Jane next time. Better location and the breakfast food was very good!” 5
- “A very relaxing stay altogether - there's tons of dining options on the second floor and I liked how the rooms surround the open space below.” 3
- “Food options are better at HR and HC than the others.” 4
- “I was disappointed in the selection as there was not much in the way of hot food at all. Oatmeal and grits were the only hot foods.” 13
- “Huge plasma TV on the wall, with an overly complicated menu.” 18
- “The breakfast buffet here is more basic than at HH, but it is close by to several good restaurants for dinner.” 4
- “Food options are better at HR and HC than the others. But there's not a massive quality difference across all these properties.” 4
- “The HP Convention Center is a short walk (across the street) from the nearby self park garage, but they do have valet service. The breakfast buffet here is more basic than at HH, but it is close by to several good restaurants for dinner.” 4
- “The HH will have a breakfast buffet with better selection than I expected though.” 4
- “And though past guests note there are some excellent restaurants on-site, including 8 Block Kitchen & Bar, which specializes in traditional Southern fare, many suggest trying the fine dining establishments nearby before returning to the Hyatt for free live jazz shows on Friday and Saturday nights.” 6
Bathroom4 mentions · 1 filmed
- “My first complaint about the bathroom was the lighting. It was extremely dim and yellow. Yes there was a lighted makeup mirror which helped up close, but the wall lights gave the whole bathroom a sickly glow.” 13
- “Single vanity and a tub that had weird chips taken out of it. The shower curtain was dirty, but the room overall felt clean enough.” 17
- “the bathroom was a little tight but very clean good to go nice marble” On camera150:39
- “Toiletries were KenetMD brand which I have typically associated with Hyatt Place and Hyatt House. I liked that there was a choice of a bath bar and bath gel. The shampoo and conditioner weren't great but got the job done.” 13
