Hotel & Travel
Where to stay
The Queen & Crescent Hotel
THE SHARED KITCHEN SUMMIT HAS PROUDLY PARTNERED WITH NEW ORLEANS' QUEEN AND CRESCENT HOTEL.
Q&C Hotel embodies the tradition and culture of New Orleans and each guestroom pays homage to the city that we love. Designed for the urban explorer in mind, Q&C is brilliantly located just steps from the French Quarter in the trendy Warehouse District. Up for a little debauchery? Go for a quick stroll down Bourbon Street (5 mins walk) and immerse yourself in the sites, sounds, and flavors that NOLA is known for. Or head a bit off the beaten path to Frenchman Street (aka “local’s Bourbon Street") for a more cultured experience, including live music, unique art and shopping, and local eats.
For attendees and staff of The Shared Kitchen Summit we are happy to offer discounted nightly rates at The Queen and Crescent Hotel.
A welcome respite for the urban explorer. Well-appointed and refined, with history preserved, it’s the perfect place to grab some shuteye—and some design ideas—after a busy day or night in New Orleans.
Q&C regular pricing:
1 Vintage King Room: $209+tax / per night
1 Larger King Room: $229+tax / per night
Summit discount rates
1 VINTAGE KING ROOM: $179+tax / per night
1 LARGER KING ROOM: $179+tax / per night
