Hotel Accommodations
The birthday honoree, Jennifer Willrich-Shelby, will be staying at Le Méridien New Orleans. Guests are welcome to reserve their stay at this location for convenience and shared celebration moments throughout the weekend. We encourage booking early to secure preferred rates and availability.
Travel Logistics
By Air
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is the primary gateway, located just 20 minutes from the heart of the city. Ride-share services and traditional taxis are readily available at the dedicated airport stalls at the arrivals terminal.
Driving & Parking
Valet parking is available at all of our recommended host hotels. While New Orleans is a very walkable city, please plan your routes carefully as many streets are historic, narrow, and strictly one-way thoroughfares.
Getting Around
To ensure a seamless experience, luxury shuttle transportation will be organized for all scheduled celebratory events throughout the weekend. For a scenic local trip, the historic St. Charles Avenue streetcar offers charm and direct access to the Garden District.
