New Orleans Marriott Completes Massive Property-Wide Overhaul

The transformation touches every corner of the property, replacing dated layouts with contemporary finishes and flexible furniture. General Manager Frank Zumbo noted that the upgrades reflect a strategic shift to better serve high-volume group travel while maintaining the brand's reputation in the heart of the city's cultural district. Key changes include converting double-double rooms to queen-queen configurations and installing walk-in showers and space-saving barn doors across the guest room inventory.

Premium accommodations received significant attention, with the hotel’s signature suites—including the Presidential and Mayor’s suites—now featuring residential-style amenities, hard-surface flooring, and upgraded wet bars. Beyond the rooms, the M Club has been reimagined with a neutral color palette and functional, modern seating to cater to high-tier loyalty members. These updates complement the hotel’s 86,000 square feet of meeting space, which remains a primary draw for events near the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and the Caesars Superdome.
