Staying at the downtown Hyatt Regency New Orleans on Loyola Avenue puts you right in the center of the action. Step outside the lobby door and hop on the Loyola Avenue Streetcar, or take a short cab ride to the historic French Quarter, Arts District, Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, and the scenic Mississippi Riverfront. The French Quarter and famed Bourbon Street are less than a 10-minute drive away from the hotel. Taxis and rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are good options for taking you wherever you want to go without the hassle of worrying about parking.
