Virgin Hotels New Orleans
About this hotel
Virgin Hotels stands out on this list for treating the whole evening as one destination, with a nightclub, live music and a pool bar all on site rather than sending guests elsewhere for a night out after the game. The rooftop pool and sun terrace fill the afternoon before a kickoff, and the modern American restaurant covers brunch through dinner for a group that does not want to plan meals around the tailgate crowd taking over nearby cafes. At 1.2 kilometers from the Superdome, the walk runs a bit longer than the closest Poydras Street properties, but the nine-minute walk to Union Station keeps other transit options within easy reach for a broader New Orleans trip. Guests who plan around that detail tend to get more out of the stay than those who book on price alone.
