When The Barnett wins: Choose The Barnett if you want an active hotel scene—rooftop pool and bar, near-nightly live music, five on-site dining outlets, and significantly larger event and wedding capacity. It’s also the clearer pick for travelers who prioritize a downtown rooftop experience and multiple dining options without leaving the property.
When The Eliza Jane, Autograph Collection wins: Pick The Eliza Jane if you prefer a smaller-scale Marriott boutique with a design-forward aesthetic, a library and fireplace lobby, and immediate access to Canal Street, the convention center and Bourbon Street.

Bottom line: Both are central Downtown/CBD options within easy walking distance of the French Quarter. The Barnett leans bigger, livelier, and more event-oriented; the Eliza Jane favors boutique design, quiet public spaces, and a short walk to Canal Street and convention attractions.
