Can you walk from Faimont to Riverwalk, Harrahs Casino, etc

[IScubaSlo]

Was wondering if it is within walking distance from Fairmont Hotel to the Riverwalk, Aquarium, casino?

It's about 8-10 blocks. Easy walking distance to both but you might want to cab back (all that money and all those packages may be too much to carry).

Yes - walking distance without any mobility limitations. :)

Since you will be there just before Mardi Gras, the parades will be a part-time mobility restriction. Long before your arrival the times and routes will be published so you can plan ahead.

I havent been to New Orleans since 1993........a long time, I'll bet it has changed tremendously since then. Cant wait to see it again.........Its been so long I can hardly remember it at all.

 

Thanks for all your help.

I was there last month and there's a lot I can't remember - seems to happen a lot with New Orleans.

I stayed @ the Fairmont just last week and you can easily walk everywhere. I did it with a stroller and my 9 month old. We walked to Riverwalk (which is past the casino) and all over the french quarter... Down Decatur to Tower and Virgin Records, Cafe du Monde and Margaritaville. Bourbon Street. Down to Mulates restaurant near the cruise pier on Julia Street. It's an easy walk anywhere you'd want to go.

 

Have fun...

Thanks Cruzelovr, nice to know everything is within walking distance.

 

By the way, how was the Fairmont to stay at?????

Very nice place, for an older hotel. I was impressed. Room was on the small side, but there are larger rooms (saw the room of another of the conference attendees). But very clean and the cleaning staff does a good job. Front desk staff saw to it that the crib (a real mini crib, not a playpen) was promptly delivered to the room and a mini-fridge (for the baby's food/formula etc.) came shortly after.

 

I'd stay there again for sure.
