Quick Verdict: InterContinental New Orleans vs Hilton New Orleans Riverside

When InterContinental New Orleans wins: choose InterContinental if you want a downtown St. Charles Avenue location near the streetcar, a quieter, more compact property with a single rooftop pool and two signature restaurants (Trenasse and Pete's).

When Hilton New Orleans Riverside wins: pick Hilton Riverside for very large group events or conventions, for riverfront views and on-site variety — two outdoor pools, extensive conference square footage, and a broad set of recreational amenities.

Bottom line: for a classic CBD stay with easy streetcar access and focused dining, InterContinental is the better fit; for convention-size meeting space and more on-site leisure options by the river, the Hilton Riverside is the practical choice.
