The ballroom was designed by Element526 of Birmingham, AL to provide guests with an elegantly simple canvas for everything from lavish social occasions to traditional business events. The floor-to-ceiling renovation presents a bright and glamorous look and feel featuring new marble flooring in the pre-function spaces, dazzling chandeliers, sumptuous carpet and sleek, neutral wallcoverings.
“No other hotel in New Orleans offers a comparable combination of style, flexibility and location,” said John Romano, general manager. “We feel confident that this upgrade will strike a positive chord with brides, event planners and gala organizers who want a sophisticated venue for their special occasions. And because it was designed to accommodate any large gathering, business leaders will feel right at home hosting clients, partners, investors and colleagues.”
The La Salle ballroom encompasses 8,330 sq. ft., capable of seating 630 for a banquet, or hosting a presentation for 700. The ballroom can be divided into three separate areas, for groups ranging from 380 to 140 guests.
The Intercontinental Hotel’s St. Charles Avenue location, a stop on the 150-year-old streetcar line (one of the world’s oldest continually operating lines) that spans the city’s Uptown, Garden District and CBD, makes it a convenient, easily accessible destination for both locals and visitors. The hotel is a block from Lafayette Square, home to numerous concerts and festivals and is an ideal vantage point for viewing many of the city’s largest Mardi Gras parades.
