3 reasons to book New Caesars New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX

If you participate New Orleans‘ Super Bowl LIX on February 9, we will have to wait until January 26 to decide who to support. But what you shouldn’t wait for is choosing a hotel. Time passes: accommodations in the most famous establishments in the Holy City have been quickly booked, but there are still a few rooms in one hotel, perhaps because it is the newest in The Big Easy.

Opening with great fanfare on October 22 – imagine a Mardis Gras float, fireworks and a live show from the iconic Zulu Tramps –New Orleans Caesars This is where old meets new. Caesars Entertainment invested a whopping $435 million to radically transform what was once 25-year-old Harrah’s into Caesars New Orleans, where world-class gaming experiences meet an urban resort. In short? Caesars New Orleans offers a stay unlike any other hotel in the city.

Below are three reasons why Caesars New Orleans is one of the best new places to stay in the city, long after the SuperBowl is over.

Location

Located on the main thoroughfare of Canal Street and just steps from the bustling French Quarter and trendy Warehouse District, Caesars New Orleans is conveniently close to all the action, yet far enough away for peace and quiet when it’s time to rest. The hotel is also just steps from the Mississippi River, where you can enjoy the famous Jazz Cruise on the Natchez Steamboat— and also right in front of the Vue Orléans observatory, a panoramic observatory located on the 34th floor offering an unparalleled view of the city. However, the biggest perk of booking a room here for Super Bowl LIX is that a 20-minute walk will take you directly to Caesars Superdome. Imagine attending one of the world’s biggest sporting events without having to worry about cars or traffic.

Food and drink

Like many of the best hotels in Las Vegas, Caesars New Orleans has strategized by attracting renowned chefs and culinary stars to give travelers yet another reason to book here. Nobu New Orleans serves all the signature dishes we love so much (black cod miso, spicy tuna crispy rice) in a chic, dimly lit space. (Ask to be seated in one of the semi-private booths.)

Meanwhile, beloved local chef and restaurateur Emeril Lagasse has launched two concepts for the property. Emeril Brewery may present itself as a French spot, but it is clear that the influences come from all over the world; Nuoc Cham crab claws, spicy and sweet, are simply delicious. Adjacent to Brasserie Emeril’s is Petite Brasserie Emeril, a takeaway counter offering simple morning and daytime dishes. Even the food court, which rarely gets the celebrity treatment, stands out, with Bobby’s Burgers and Nina’s Creole Cottage from local celebrity chef Nina Compton. But no trip would be complete without a visit to Octavia, a dazzling lounge (note the $750,000 chandelier) that brews locally inspired libations like Back O’Town Coffee infused with Café Du’s famous coffee and chicory. World.

Accommodations

Getting a good night’s sleep is always important, but it’s even more so in a leisure destination associated with revelry and excess. The new tower has 340 rooms and suites beautifully decorated in blue and gold tones, plush platform beds and Caesar-inspired wallpaper, and includes other smart details like blackout curtains and backlit mirrors in the bathrooms. Want a more intimate experience? So book it just opened Nobu Hotel in New Orleans. Occupying two floors of the new tower, the 54 rooms and suites feature a sleeker, more elevated design by Rockwell Group.
