If you are driving/ taking an uber, we recommend you enter your destination into the GPS as "Hilton New Orleans Riverside." There are many parking garages in this area. Once you arrive to the cul de sac of the hotel at the very end of Canal Street, walk towards the river/ riverwalk outlets by crossing the streetcar tracks. You will start to see signs for the Creole Queen here. Walk towards the entrance to the riverwalk outlets through the covered path. Once you get to the end of the covered path and entrance to the riverwalk outlets, walk left towards the fountain in the Spanish Plaza and look for Eric and our crew!
