Flying high with the Loews in New Orleans! | A View To A Thrill

Here’s a transformation for you.  Take one Lykes Brothers Steamship building, a cargo shipping company that was located in the central business district of New Orleans, convert it into a four star luxury hotel and rename it the .  The management realized the value of opening one of their flagship hotels in such a premium segment of the city and wasted no time in purchasing it.  In 2003, their efforts resulted in 285 hotel rooms and suites, an upscale restaurant, a chic bar and 13k sf of meeting space, including the elegant Louisiana Ballroom.  Meeting planners will be interested to know that the hotel offers a unique rewards program.  Check out for more information.

Located a mere three blocks from the French Quarter, we were pleasantly surprised to see how lovely the surrounding area was.   It was another three blocks in the opposite direction that you would happen upon the famed River-Walk where we got to see and hear the cruise ships and Steamboats herald their arrival.  I liked the fact that we were so close to the French Quarter but could avoid the reverie of the celebrants who frequented the area.

We arrived four hours before check in where at most we hoped that they could store our luggage until check in time.  To our surprise, we were quickly notified that our room was ready and it took all of three minutes to collect our room’s key card.  The first thing you notice as you enter a Loews’ guestroom is how large the space is, not only in square footage, but the 10 foot ceilings made you feel as if you should be hearing your own echo.  The suite was nice and cool which was a blessing given that the outdoor temps were hovering close to the triple digits.  To your right are two queen sized beds dressed with a feather-bed and five comfy pillows to dream on.  Each bed was flanked by an exquisite piece of artwork above it.

It’s immaculately appointed with a large secretarial desk and an ergonomic chair.  Across the room, you will find two well cushioned chairs and an ottoman flanking a small side table with a freestanding lamp providing much needed light in the far corner of the room.  I liked the fact that the light is operated by a button that you must press with your foot, no need to fumble for the switch in the dark.
