Hotel information
There are several hotel options in the French Quarter and near the venue. Most are within a short walking distance of 5 to 10 minutes. We strongly recommend booking a room well in advance, as New Orleans will be hosting Jazz Fest the same weekend as the knife show.
If you are unable to book a hotel in close proximity, travel by car should not be too challenging but plan for traffic accordingly.
The address of the venue is:
- Creole Queen: 1 Poydras St, New Orleans, LA 70130
Hotels nearby (as a reminder, none of these hotels are affiliated with the show and the city has plenty of other options available.):
- Hilton Riverside: 2 Poydras St, New Orleans, LA, 70130
