For the first time since 2013, and the 11th time overall, one of America's premier nightlife and entertainment cities, New Orleans, will host the Super Bowl in less than two weeks when the Philadelphia Eagles look to dethrone the two-time-defending NFL champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. The culmination of the NFL season should be a party fit for the city home to Mardi Gras and where drinks are flowing on Bourbon Street every minute of the year.
The Eagles boast arguably the most balanced roster in football with playmakers at every position, capable of a 55-23 victory over the stout Washington Commanders in the conference-championship game to reach their second Super Bowl in the last three seasons. Again for Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni, and the rest of those representing the City of Brotherly Love in The Big Easy, it is Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Kansas City standing in its way of its second Super Bowl win.
One thing is now for certain - where the Eagles will call home during their stay in New Orleans - has been confirmed. Philadelphia is staying at the modest Hilton New Orleans Riverside, which is a stone's throw away from the Mississippi River and about a mile from where the Super Bowl will take place inside the Caesars Superdome. For the first time since 2013, and the 11th time overall, New Orleans , will host the Super Bowl between the Eagles and Chiefs.
Philadelphia is staying at the modest Hilton New Orleans Riverside, which is a stone's throw away from the Mississippi River. The hotel hosting the Eagles is about a mile from where the Super Bowl will take place inside the Caesars Superdome. The four-star hotel is further away from the game venue than where the Chiefs are staying. The Eagles' team bus will take a straight shot down the iconic Poydras Street from the home of the Saints, passing the famous Mother's Restaurant on its way, home to some of the city's tastiest Po' boys, to the Superdome.
The Eagles' hotel is New Orleans' largest with around 1,700 rooms and 29 floors. The hotel also has two pools, 24-hour concierge service and is connected to the city's convention center and outlet mall. One of the coolest perks of the hotel, with the Eagles possibly using it for a workout, is the year-round tennis court. The only air-conditioned courts in New Orleans are on the premises, with the venue hosting USTA tournaments on their hard courts.
That's not the only fitness opportunities at the hotel as they have pickleball and squash courts as well as a Pilates studio. A spin studio and a full weight room are also inside to take care of any cardio requirements ahead of the Super Bowl. One of the two pools at the hotel has views of the Mississippi River, with the weather hot enough for an outdoor pool to be open, despite the contrary in Pennsylvania and Missouri.
For those staying at the hotel that will not have their own transportation like the Eagles, Avis and Budget car rental centers are on sight for making traveling around the city easier. There is also a full-service FedEx business center full equipped to be anyone's office away from home with computers at the ready. Anyone looking to be pampered can also visit the Ringletts Salon, which offers several different services. The only ones that are not allowed to stay at the hotel are pets, with service animals being an exception.
The hotel has a pickleball and indoor tennis courts, as well as a Pilates studio and a massive gym for anyone's fitness needs. The Hilton New Orleans Riverside is the city's biggest hotel with around 1,700 rooms, 29 floors, two pools, and a salon. Eagles' players are not required to stay at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, although a heavy majority of them will indulge. The Chiefs' hotel is only a half-mile away from the Hilton, with both teams based nearly a mile from the Caesars Superdome.
There are also seven restaurants and bars inside the hotel including a classic Cajun restaurant and a casual breakfast spot. There are also seven restaurants and bars inside the hotel including a classic Cajun restaurant, Drago's Seafood, and a casual breakfast spot, Le Croissant. The hotel is not located in the city's most famous neighborhood, the French Quarter, but is still walking distance from several of New Orleans most enticing attractions.
Jackson Square, the National World War II Museum, rooftop terrace Vue Orleans, and the Aquarium of the Americas are all within a mile of the hotel. The Creole Queen river cruise is also located right behind the hotel, giving those who stay at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside close access to some of the best views in the Bayou. The last time the Eagles were in the Super Bowl saw a much longer trip from the team hotel to the stadium.
