Travel Information

We are grateful for the support of our official hospitality partner for Prospect.2, the newly reimagined Hyatt Regency New Orleans. Images of the damage to the Hyatt Regency New Orleans have served as some of the most iconic representations of Hurricane Katrina’s destruction six years ago, and the hotel's reopening is a testament to the ongoing revitalization of the city’s hospitality industry. The Hyatt Regency’s reopening fortuitously coincides with the opening of Prospect.2, and we are happy to offer a special rate to Prospect.2 visitors via our full-service travel partner, Turon Travel. Please visit www.turontravel.com or contact prospect2@turontravel.com or 212-925-5453 for rates and assistance with any travel needs.
