Quick Verdict: InterContinental New Orleans vs Loews New Orleans Hotel

When InterContinental New Orleans wins: choose the InterContinental for St. Charles Avenue location, easier access to streetcar routes, direct parade-route frontage during Mardi Gras, a 15th-floor outdoor rooftop pool, and two on-site restaurants focused on local cuisine.
