Hotel Information: The Ambassador is a former 19th-century coffee warehouse, retaining much of that industrial flavor. The entrance, through floor-to-ceiling windowpane doors, opens into a spacious lobby with a main wall composed of a mix of worn stucco and exposed brick consistent with New Orleans's visual style. A blend of vacationers and business types stay here for its character and location.

Amenity highlights: Various events can be held in the hotel’s banquet room, with space for up to 100. Amenities include 24-hour valet parking (surcharge) and use of the hotel’s fitness center (included in resort fee).

Insider tip: New Orleans is steeped in history, but one of its few contemporary claims to architectural fame is directly across from the Ambassador: a mid-1970s public space called the Piazza d'Italia that is one of the earliest cited examples of post-modern architecture.
