voco St. James Hotel Make Your Global Soccer Experience Deliciously New Orleans

Stay playfully premium at voco St. James Hotel—three blocks from the French Quarter, all heart, all charm.

Tack a little Crescent City onto your match itinerary through Atlanta, Houston, or Dallas and let New Orleans work its magic. Check into voco St. James Hotel on Magazine Street, and you are steps from the French Quarter, Bourbon Street, the National WWII Museum, and within walking distance of Caesars Superdome and Smoothie King Center, so the culture, cuisine, and live music start right outside our door.

Expect plush bedding, a leafy courtyard, a refreshing dipping pool, Café Flamant for breakfast, and Chophouse New Orleans next door for dinner. Comfortably different, delightfully voco.

Have a relaxing afternoon break in our outdoor courtyard.
