Hotel near Casino
Senior citizen couple looking to stay close to casino but still want to see French Quarter, WW 2 Museum, Sunday jazz brunch. Mid October.
Nice hotel with comfy beds, balcony, coffee maker, shower without tub, elevator, restaurant with some plain food for my picky husband. Not too fancy. Thank you!
For a senior couple visiting New Orleans in mid-October who want to stay near a casino but still be able to see the French Quarter, the WWII Museum, and enjoy a Sunday jazz brunch, there are several hotel options that balance comfort, convenience, and accessible amenities.
Given your preferences for a hotel with comfy beds, balcony, coffee maker, walk-in shower (no tub), elevator, and a restaurant offering simple food, I would suggest focusing on hotels near the Harrah’s Casino area along Canal Street. This location puts you within walking distance or a very short ride to the French Quarter, riverfront, and major museums.
- Harrah’s New Orleans Hotel: Located directly above the casino, this hotel offers elevators, comfortable rooms, in-room coffee makers, and balconies in some rooms. Their onsite dining has options beyond typical New Orleans cuisine, including simple dishes that may appeal to picky eaters.
- Royal Sonesta New Orleans: Situated on Bourbon Street but close enough to walk to Harrah’s, this hotel offers elegant yet not over-the-top accommodations, elevators, and a variety of dining options, including American-style dishes. Some rooms have balconies.
- Hilton New Orleans Riverside: Right next to the Mississippi River and close to Harrah’s, this hotel has elevators, in-room coffee makers, and a large restaurant serving both local and plain American food. Walk-in showers are available in select rooms.
- Holiday Inn New Orleans-Downtown Superdome: A more budget-friendly option near the casino, with elevators, coffee makers, and accessible showers. They also have a casual restaurant with standard American options.
Additional tips for your stay:
- Book a room specifically requesting a walk-in shower if that is a requirement, as not all rooms may have them.
- Ask for a room with a balcony if you’d like a view; riverfront rooms tend to be quieter than those facing the street.
- For visiting the WWII Museum, it is about a 10-minute drive or a 20-25 minute walk from the casino area. Taxi or rideshare is convenient if walking is not preferred.
- Sunday jazz brunch can be enjoyed at several nearby spots such as Court of Two Sisters in the French Quarter, which is a classic, relatively easy-to-navigate location.
- Exploring the French Quarter is easy from your hotel. Walking or a short rideshare avoids parking hassles.
In summary, staying near Harrah’s or along Canal Street gives you convenient access to casinos, sightseeing, and dining while providing hotel options that meet your comfort and accessibility needs. Request rooms with walk-in showers and check dining menus ahead to ensure there are plain food options for your husband.
