THE RUBENSTEIN HOTEL

The Rubenstein Hotel sits at the corner of Canal Street and St. Charles Avenue, one block from Bourbon Street and an 8-minute stroll from the Aquarium of the Americas. Mercedes-Benz Superdome is 1.7 km away, Union Station is a 19-minute walk, and Jackson Square is less than 1 km from the property. The St. Charles and Canal streetcar lines stop directly outside the hotel, and the Mahogany Jazz Hall is one block away.

The hotel occupies the second and third floors of six historic buildings that once housed the Rubenstein department store. Rooms have high ceilings, tall French-style windows, and private bathrooms with showers; select room types add private balconies with views of Canal Street or St. Charles Avenue. The executive suite includes floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and bedroom, and the ADA-compliant king room has a shower with a built-in bench and handheld sprayer.

A second-floor shared balcony overlooks St. Charles Avenue and Canal Street, providing space for parade viewing during Mardi Gras. Guests watched at least 15 Mardi Gras parades from this balcony, with the Uptown parade route passing directly below. The Rubenstein Hotel restricts street-level entrance to guests only and sets up a bar on the balcony for Mardi Gras parades.

The lobby bar serves cocktails, including old fashioned cocktails prepared by bartender Jeff. Fresh coffee and a light breakfast are available every morning, and during Mardi Gras the hotel offered complimentary jambalaya to guests. Café Beignet is on the corner for breakfast and beignets, and restaurants such as Mr. B's, Antoine's, and Royal House are within walking distance.

Keycard access controls the street-level entrance, elevator, balcony, and room doors, and 24-hour security staff are present. The 24-hour front desk at The Rubenstein Hotel offers luggage storage, express check-in and check-out, and paid off-site private parking is available. The Rubenstein Hotel staff arrange airport transportation, provide restaurant recommendations, and mark points of interest on a map.
