Best for visitors who want short walks to the French Quarter, a streetcar-front location, and a mid-size downtown hotel with a rooftop pool.

Best for large groups, conventions, and fans attending Superdome events who want extensive meeting space and multiple food-and-drink outlets on site.
When InterContinental New Orleans wins: If your priority is a more walkable route to the French Quarter, being directly on the St. Charles streetcar line, a rooftop pool, and a smaller, easier-to-navigate downtown hotel, InterContinental is the better fit.
When Hyatt Regency New Orleans wins: If you’re traveling for a convention, a sports event at the Superdome, or need very large meeting and event space plus many on-site restaurants/bars, the Hyatt Regency’s scale and conference facilities are the better match.
Bottom line: Both are practical, full-service CBD hotels. Choose InterContinental for proximity to St. Charles Avenue and the French Quarter on a smaller property with a rooftop pool; choose Hyatt Regency for scale, meetings, and direct Superdome convenience.
