The Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel is located in the “Center of It All,” immediately on the banks of the Mississippi River with easy access to everything New Orleans has to offer. This fullservice luxury complex is actually a “city within itself,” and in June 2006 completed a $50 million renovation. To reserve a room at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, call 1-800-Hiltons (1-800-445-8667) and reference Group Code “SMA” or Southern Medical Association’s Cardiometabolic Syndrome Meeting. You are encouraged to book early, as the group rate may be sold-out prior to the reservation deadline – January 8, 2007.
