New Orleans has been charming visitors for nearly three centuries. Part of that charm lies in the blend of cultures, a heady mix of French and Spanish, with overtones of Africa and the caribbean. This diversity is visible everywhere - in the food, the music and especially, in the world famous celebration of carnival - Mardi Gras. Visitors today will discover the same jewel that has made the city a magnet for artists, writers and musicians who find it a wellspring for their creativity. The Alexa on Royal is at the gateway to the French Quarter, located in the 100 block of Royal Street. The hotel gives guests the best of two worlds - the old world allure of Royal Street in the Quarter, with its elegant Creole restaurants and world renowned art galleries and antique shops, and bustling Canal Street, the city's primary shopping thoroughfare. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the upscale shops at Canal Place, The Aquarium of the Americas, Harrah's Casino, The Riverwalk, The Superdome, The Morial Convention Center and the New Orleans Sports Arena. The hotel features 192 rooms, high ceilings, polished wood floors, exposed brick, exquisite millwork and crown moldings. Amenities include marble bathrooms, plush robes, french milled soaps and other toiletries. Guests have full use of the facilities at our adjoining sister hotel, The Astor Crowne Plaza, including the restaurant, full service bar, concierge services, 25,000 square feet of private function/dining rooms, fitness center and rooftop swimming pools and gardens..
