INTERCONTINENTAL NEW ORLEANS
Boasting upscale comfort and sweeping views, the InterContinental New Orleans puts you in the heart of the Big Easy, steps from the French Quarter, Bourbon Street and Canal Street. You’ll be surrounded by New Orleans' iconic music, food and culture, with easy access to streetcars and the best of downtown. It’s the perfect location to lead the reset—not just react to it.

A TASTE OF NEW ORLEANS
New Orleans doesn’t just feed the soul — it feeds your curiosity, creativity and appetite. At GEP INNOVATE, we’re celebrating the city’s legendary food scene with curated dining experiences and insider recommendations that go well beyond the tourist traps.
Dine Where Legends Have Eaten
We’ve reserved space at two of the city’s Grande Dames of Creole dining:
Antoine’s | Opening Reception at 6 P.M.
The oldest family-run restaurant in the U.S., famous for inventing oysters Rockefeller. With its labyrinth of private dining rooms, Antoine’s has hosted presidents, movie stars, and literary greats for over 180 years.
Galeriè de Galatoire | Gala Dinner at 6 P.M.
A French Quarter landmark known for its elegant, spacious dining room and French Creole classics like shrimp rémoulade, crabmeat maison, and soufflé potatoes.
Beyond the Icons
Want to explore on your own? Here are a few local favorites we love:
- Cochon – Modern Cajun-Southern cooking in a rustic-chic setting
- Peche – Award-winning seafood from the team behind Herbsaint
- Commander’s Palace – A Garden District legend for haute Creole cuisine and 25¢ martinis at lunch
- Cafe du Monde – Beignets and chicory coffee, a timeless treat any time of day
Whether you’re sharing stories over oysters, sneaking away for a po’boy, or grabbing a bite between sessions, you’ll experience New Orleans one unforgettable bite at a time.
