The Royal Sonesta Hotel, a grand hotel in the heart of the historic French Quarter, is just two blocks from Canal Street, the Central Business District, and the streetcar line. Steps from world-famous restaurants, antique shops, entertainment, and historic landmarks, the hotel is also within walking distance of the convention center and on the shuttle route for most major conventions. The Mississippi Riverfront, Jackson Square, and nationally recognized museums are also nearby. Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY) is 16 miles away.
