Stay Near the Convention Center: Rooms, Parking, Breakfast & Local Tips
Hilton Garden Inn New Orleans Convention Center is a convenient base for conference attendees, cruise passengers and travelers visiting the Warehouse District. Here’s what you’ll actually pay extra for, how to reach the hotel, what is walkable and what to confirm before reserving.
Know the neighborhood
How Close Is Hilton Garden Inn to the Convention Center?
Hilton describes the hotel as about one block from the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Its Hilton hotel finder lists the property around 0.24 mile from the convention-center reference point.
That makes it a practical walking-distance option, but the convention center stretches across many halls. The closest entrance for your conference may differ from the closest general map pin.
1001 S. Peters Street
This is the Hilton Garden Inn street address. Use it for check-in, hotel valet and navigation.
900 Convention Center Boulevard
The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center’s official main address. Your event may assign a different lobby or hall entrance.

Distances are hotel-published reference distances rather than verified door-to-door walking routes. Weather, crossing points and event entrance choice affect the real journey.
Which Conference Hall Are You Attending?
If your event is at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, find the specific Hall B–J, ballroom, Great Hall or meeting-room number before deciding whether to walk from the hotel or use another drop-off point.

With a Car
Useful if you plan to visit outside downtown New Orleans, but compare valet, independent garage rates, operating hours, vehicle clearance and re-entry before booking.

Suites
Check separate sitting space, bed configurations, accessibility needs and the full cost for your travel dates.
Accessible Rooms
Review the specific mobility or hearing-accessible room description and request the required features during booking.

Food and breakfast
Is Breakfast Free at Hilton Garden Inn New Orleans?
No, not as a general standard inclusion. Hilton lists breakfast as available for an additional charge. Some specific rate packages or benefits may change what you pay, so read your selected booking terms.
Garden Grille Breakfast
Published hours: 6:30 AM–10:00 AM daily.
Hilton describes made-to-order breakfast choices and a continental buffet. Check the current price on arrival or when booking.
Garden Grille & Bar
The property advertises dinner and nightly bar service. Menu items, hours and availability can change, especially on holidays or during special events.
Breakfast Decision for Conference Visitors
- Early registration: Compare breakfast service opening at 6:30 AM with the time you must leave for your event.
- Company-funded trip: Confirm whether your corporate rate includes breakfast or a meal allowance.
- Family stay: The hotel lists a kids menu, but that does not mean children always eat free.
- Budget trip: Compare total room-plus-breakfast cost against nearby alternatives that include breakfast.
Arrivals and departures
Getting Here from MSY Airport & the Cruise Port
Hilton lists Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport at approximately 15.2 miles from the hotel. The hotel does not provide an airport shuttle.
| Transport choice | Best use | Important consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Taxi | Travelers with luggage seeking a direct hotel drop-off | Confirm the official airport taxi queue and fare arrangement. |
| Uber / Lyft | Direct transfer with app-based pickup | Follow the airport’s designated rideshare pickup instructions; surge pricing may apply. |
| Rental car | Trips that include destinations outside downtown | Budget separately for valet or another parking facility. |
| Public transit | Budget-focused travelers with flexible arrival schedules | May require a transfer and additional walking with bags. Check current RTA and airport route information. |
For Port of New Orleans Cruise Passengers
Hilton identifies the Port of New Orleans at about 0.33 mile from the hotel as a general destination reference. However, cruise terminals have different entrances and passenger procedures. Do not assume that distance reflects the walk to your ship’s baggage drop-off.
Use your cruise line’s sailing documents to determine the exact terminal and arrival time.
A short walk may still be inconvenient with suitcases, children or mobility equipment.
Check availability before arranging a flight or cruise departure long after the 11 AM check-out.
Reserve a taxi or rideshare to the correct terminal rather than navigating to a general port pin.
