Example: estimating a three-night stay
For three days of valet parking at the hotel’s published $47 daily rate:
$141 parking before applicable taxesIf bringing a pet for this three-night stay, add the published $75 pet fee. That makes $216 in parking and pet charges, before taxes and the nightly room cost.

Getting to the New Orleans Convention Center from the Hotel
The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is at 900 Convention Center Boulevard, New Orleans, LA 70130. It extends across a long riverfront campus with several exhibit halls.
The Sonesta hotel is in the Warehouse District, making walking a reasonable option for many conference visits. But the distance to your exact hall or registration entrance matters much more than the general venue address.
If your event is near Julia Street
The Convention Center’s Great Hall and main 900 Convention Center Boulevard address are toward the Julia Street side. Confirm your registration location and route before leaving.
If your event is near Halls H–J
These halls are farther toward the Henderson Street end. Plan additional movement through or around the venue and use your assigned entrance rather than the main address alone.
Five steps for a stress-free conference morning
Look at your badge email or event schedule.
Registration may not be at the nearest door.
Allow for heat, rain, luggage, mobility needs and a possible walk inside the convention center.
The venue has different halls, meeting rooms and event-service locations.
Use the specific badge pickup and security information for your conference.

| Rideshare | Direct hotel drop-off; follow the airport’s designated pickup instructions. |
