Hotel Description
Visiting the Hilton New Orleans Riverside hotel will not only bring back fond memories, but can open up new areas to explore in New Orleans, Louisiana. Enjoy the newly renovated 90,000 sq. ft. Health Club by Hilton featuring tennis, racquetball, full weight training circuit and the Precor cardio theater. Stimulate your palate within Drago's Seafood Restaurant, a New Orleans dining institution. Upgrade your accommodations to our exclusive Executive Level. Try your hand at Harrah's Casino or take in a round of golf at the newly opened TPC Louisiana. New Orleans is still one of the world's most unique destinations that can be at your doorstep when staying at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside hotel in Louisiana.The Hilton New Orleans Riverside hotel, a full service luxury complex, is actually a ''city within itself'' and it is in the midst of a $66 million renovation which includes, to date, a newly-redesigned front desk and guest service area to increase efficiency and enhance service. Included in the design is an electronic express check-in area and business center, which has been expanded and relocated adjacent to the front desk. River Blends Café, ''Proudly Serving Starbucks,'' is being expanded to the 2nd floor lobby area featuring coffee, pastries, as well as serve as the lobby gathering spot for evening cocktails; completion is expected by September, 2007. Finally, we are proud to announce the addition of a Louisiana local favorite, Drago's Seafood Restaurant, home of the original charbroiled oyster which opened this past May and will be supported by a newly designed lobby bar concept to be in place by the year end. The Hilton New Orleans Riverside hotel will continue to feature the ability to view sporting events on 34'' plasma TV's in Kabby's Sports Edition Bar and our guests can partake in casual dining in our full-service Le Croissant restaurant. We would be remiss not to mention the award winning Kabby's Sunday Seafood Jazz Brunch which has been a local favorite for years.Other recent upgrades to the hotel are the remodeled ''Health Club by Hilton'' offering six indoor tennis courts and three racquet ball and squash courts complimented by volleyball and basketball courts. The fitness area is highlighted by a full Precor cardio theater, Nautilus Nitro Plus and complimentary weight circuit, Spin and Pilate classes, ''Full Swing'' golf studio, and much more.As a host to a majority of New Orleans' major meetings, the Hilton New Orleans Riverside hotel has updated and redesigned the entire main building's meeting space. A classically opulent look featuring a French influence will be consistent throughout all three levels of function rooms linked by newly installed escalators. Touches include new vinyl, carpeting, lighting, sound, and accent furniture as well a newly-installed reader board system.In 2008, renovations in the riverside building guest rooms will provide for a complete redesign and will include features such as walk in shower units for king bedded rooms, 32'' LCD flat-screen TV's, oversized lounge chairs which compliment the efficient workstations. 32'' LCD flat-screens and other Hilton branded amenity items will be incorporated into the main hotel guest rooms as well.The hotel also features two extensive gift shops, R.J. Sutton Jewelry and Antiques, and two outdoor pools.Whether visiting Louisiana for business or pleasure, shopping and entertainment options are steps away or accessed by the Riverfront Streetcar at the hotel's entrance.The Riverwalk Marketplace (140+ shops and food outlets) is at the hotel's doorstep and complements R.J.
