Full-service, 9.0 on close to a thousand reviews, and Booking lists it as adjacent to the Dome and the arena. The arena sits on the far side of the Superdome from the lobby, so call it 1,800 feet. The Hyatt House a block away grades 9.1 for less if you don't need the full-service setup.

Closest hotel on Booking's arena list at 1,700 feet and the best-rated, 9.1 on more than 1,100 reviews. Runs about a fifth under the Hyatt Regency a block away. Poydras Street runs straight from the door to the arena.

Cheapest bed near the arena we would book without hesitation: 8.5 on more than 2,200 reviews at less than half the Hyatt Regency's rate, half a mile out. The Holiday Inn Express a few hundred feet farther on is cheaper still and grades 7.8. Check recent reviews before booking.

The money play
The first demand spike hits when a home game becomes possible: a series lead, a clinch scenario. Lock a free-cancellation room in Central Business District before certainty, while prices are still normal.
The second, much bigger spike lands the moment the date is official, usually days before the game. Rooms near Smoothie King Center go first, then demand ripples outward through New Orleans.
If your team doesn't get the game, cancel before the cutoff. It costs nothing. If they do, you're holding a room everyone else is fighting over at double the price.
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is the main airport, roughly 25 minutes from the venue by car in normal traffic. Expect longer on game days.
Most visiting fans stay in Central Business District, French Quarter, Warehouse District or Garden District. The arena shares the Superdome campus a 10-minute walk from Poydras Street's CBD hotels, so stay there and you're equally close to the French Quarter.
Book a refundable rate the moment a home game becomes possible, even before the matchup is official. Playoff-round dates firm up only days in advance and prices jump immediately, so a free-cancellation booking made early beats waiting every time.
