Team New Orleans: Sales
Team New Orleans: Convention Sales
The Convention and Visitors Bureau Sales Staff is a diverse group of industry professionals who are experts in all things New Orleans. We will do everything required to meet your criteria for selecting a hotel for your meeting. Want to hear from only two hotels? No problem.
Are your time and resources limited? Let us help.
We will collect the responses for you and provide you with a complete summary of hotel availability. We are New Orleans experts so we can quickly let you know about festivals or events taking place during the dates you request. If you're looking for the best possible value, we can suggest less peak times of the year.
Our city is home to a wide variety of hotels. We have big name brands, independent hotels that offer an authentic New Orleans feel, and the most unique boutique hotels in the nation. No one knows the New Orleans hotel inventory better than our team and that means finding the perfect hotel for your meeting will be comprehensive and easy.
