Restrooms in New Orleans
Where can I find a restroom in New Orleans?
Mostly inside businesses. Hotel lobbies are the reliable one, and locals use them routinely without being guests. Bars are the next best thing and generally don't mind. The riverfront malls and the French Market have genuinely public restrooms.
Can you walk into a hotel lobby and use the restroom?
Yes. The big hotels have open lobbies and nobody stops you. It's the standard local answer and it works across the Quarter, the CBD and the Garden District.
Are there public restrooms along the riverfront?
Yes, and they're the most reliable public option downtown. The Riverwalk near the riverboat landing, Canal Place, and the French Market all have them during opening hours.
Are there public restrooms run by the city?
Very few, and there's no official map of them. In practice a hotel or a bar is always the faster answer.
