Best for large conventions, weddings, and event planners who need hundreds of thousands of square feet of flexible meeting space.

Best for travelers who want an upscale Marriott property right next to the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and museum attractions.
When Hyatt Regency New Orleans wins: pick Hyatt if you need large-scale event space, a bigger variety of on-site restaurants, or a rooftop pool and fitness center with city views; it’s designed to host large conferences and sport/event crowds.
When New Orleans Marriott Warehouse Arts District wins: pick the Marriott if you want to be literally steps from the convention center and nearby museums (National WWII Museum), or prefer a smaller upscale Marriott property in the Warehouse Arts District with an on-site art gallery.
Bottom line: Both are strong, convention-friendly downtown choices. Choose Hyatt for scale, variety of dining, and rooftop pool/facilities; choose the Marriott for a slightly more intimate Marriott-branded experience and the shortest walk to the convention center.
