Nobu Hotel Caesars New Orleans · 8 Canal Street
Nobody sees you. That's the point.
When the guest is notable, the car should be invisible. Discreet, pre-arranged chauffeur service for guests of Nobu Hotel New Orleans, from a private arrival at MSY or Lakefront to the last stop of the night. Transfers from $145.
Who we are
Lagniappe (lan-yap) is the Louisiana tradition of giving a little more than was promised. It's what we set out to do on every ride.
For guests of Nobu, it means a car that's in place before you need it, a chauffeur who doesn't need the plan explained twice, and a drop-off at the door that draws the least attention.
Our chauffeurs know New Orleans: its neighborhoods, its rhythms, and which door to use at Galatoire's on a Friday. Vehicles are detailed before every trip, chauffeurs are background-checked, and every ride is handled with discretion.
What we offer
From a quiet airport arrival to a full evening in the Quarter, one chauffeur service handles it all.
Commercial flights at MSY, or private flights at the FBOs at MSY and Lakefront, met in the lounge or ramp-side where the FBO permits. Tracked by flight or tail number. From $145.
Dinner, a show, Frenchmen Street: drop-offs and pickups planned at the quieter door, with the car held by the hour so the night can change.
The Garden District, Tremé, Magazine Street and beyond, with a car held by the hour and stops chosen by you.
Commander's Palace, Galatoire's, the newest Warehouse District opening: dropped at the right door, collected when the night ends.
Jazz Fest, Essence, French Quarter Fest, Mardi Gras and Saints games. Sprinter vans carry groups of up to 14.
For principals traveling with security, transportation planned with your protection team. See executive protection transportation.
For high-profile guests
Nobu draws guests who are used to being recognized. The transportation should be the part of the trip nobody notices.
Nobu Hotel occupies two floors of the Caesars Tower at Caesars New Orleans, at the foot of Canal Street, steps from the French Quarter and the riverfront.
MSY to Canal Street by private car, longer at rush hour or during big events. Lakefront Airport is about 9 miles away, usually closer in time.
Signature or Atlantic at MSY, Signature or Flightline First at Lakefront. Send the tail number and FBO and we track the flight.
Reservations are answered around the clock. Hourly bookings bill for the time the car is held, so a late night just means a longer booking.

Know before you go
A few things our chauffeurs tell every first-time visitor.
Frenchmen Street and the Marigny stay lively late. Book the car by the hour so there's no waiting on a curb at 2 AM.
About 20–30 minutes by private car. Rideshare prices surge during major events; a pre-booked car doesn't.
Book early. Sprinter vans for festival weekends are usually the first vehicles reserved.
Routes change with the parades, so book well ahead for Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras day.
