MCLEAN, Va. and NEW ORLEANS – Today, Hilton Hotels & Resorts announced the opening of Junction Café & Provisions at Hilton New Orleans Riverside, the newest restaurant concept developed in partnership with StiR Creative Collective, Hilton’s in-house global food and beverage consultancy arm. Junction delivers an elevated, convenient all-day on-site dining experience featuring quick breakfast, lunch and dinner options, freshly brewed coffee, and a collection of thoughtfully chosen retail items. The dining concept centers around all-day food and beverage offerings, curated provisions, and provides a welcoming space for community and connectivity – all inspired by the ethos behind its name, “Junction.”

Hilton Hotels & Resorts plans to expand Junction at other properties across the United States – bringing its emphasis on energizing connections, elevated design, and the best of local and global food and beverage to more guests – with two additional locations expected to debut later this year.

“Junction is a powerful addition to our growing StiR Creative Collective portfolio, further strengthening Hilton’s position as an industry innovator across the Americas,” said Brian Abel, senior vice president, food and beverage operations and development, Americas, Hilton. “By pairing strategic insight with creative, culturally resonant design, Junction exemplifies how StiR elevates the guest experience and reimagines food and beverage across our brands. It expands a portfolio of concepts that are both commercially impactful and redefining hotel dining for guests, meeting attendees, and locals.”

“This is a meaningful milestone for Hilton Hotels & Resorts as we introduce a new dining concept that reflects the evolution of our brand – one grounded in energizing connections, elevated design, and bringing people together in meaningful ways,” said Leonard Gooz, global brand leader, Hilton Hotels & Resorts. “From delivering the best of local and global food and beverage to creating environments that invite guests to connect, unwind, and discover, this dining concept will represent the future of our brand. Junction will offer experiences that are authentically New Orleans yet unmistakably world‑class. As one of the largest hotels in the Americas, and with the support of our partners at Park Hotels & Resorts, we’re proud to debut this groundbreaking concept in the heart of New Orleans.”

Concept and Menu

Located on the hotel’s second floor adjacent to check-in, Junction is perfectly positioned to meet guests at every moment of their day – whether starting the morning off right, taking a midday break to refuel, or picking up treats to enjoy later. Envisioned as an interactive, modern all-day café and artisan corner store, Junction serves as a welcoming hub for guests to rest, reset, and reconnect, inspired by contemporary bodegas and the warmth of a community gathering space.

Junction features elevated classics served throughout the day, with both counter service and grab-and-go options, and a coffee counter crafted by La Colombe Coffee Roasters. The menu transitions seamlessly from breakfast – offering steel-cut oats with apples and pistachios, savory aged cheddar and scallion scones, and plant-based burritos – to a variety of hot and cold sandwiches, vibrant salads, signature coffee drinks, loose-leaf teas, and creative beverages. Additionally, guests can shop for local products that evoke the spirit of New Orleans, such as Zapp’s and JeanTherapy, among others.

“We’re very proud to debut this exciting new Hilton Hotels & Resorts food and beverage concept here at Hilton New Orleans Riverside,” said David Piscola, general manager, Hilton New Orleans Riverside. “Junction also celebrates several of our renowned partners that are distinctly NOLA. With Mardi Gras approaching and as we prepare to welcome visitors from around the world, we’re thrilled to introduce our guests to this new concept, complementing our wider food and beverage program.”

With its prime location, elevated offerings, and seamless integration into the guest journey, Junction enhances the overall stay experience while serving as a welcoming gathering spot for both travelers and the local community. Junction builds upon the hotel’s expansive on-site dining experiences, from the iconic Drago’s Seafood Restaurant – famous for its charbroiled oysters – to the speakeasy-style Public Belt lounge, the open-air energy of Spirits, and convenient quick-serve options like Le Croissant, all complemented by flexible in-room dining for added convenience.

As Hilton’s in-house food and beverage development arm, StiR Creative Collective approaches hotel F&B with the perspective and spirit of an independent restaurant, delivering innovative, experience-led concepts tailored specifically to hotel environments around our growing portfolio.

From energizing spaces designed to spark authentic connections and destination restaurants led by award-winning chefs to flawless, world-class hospitality defined by personalized attention, Hilton Hotels & Resorts transforms every stay into an iconic experience.  Read more about Hilton Hotels & Resorts at stories.hilton.com.
