Where are the best places to stay in New Orleans?

Knowing where to stay in New Orleans all depends on what brings you to town. You might need a place close to the Mardi Gras mayhem, a hotel in the French Quarter where you can engage in the nightlife, or a downtown New Orleans hotel convenient to Spanish Plaza, Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium, and other central attractions.

Mardi Gras Hotels:

Uptown: While parades are held throughout the city, the bulk of the Mardi Gras celebrations take place in the Uptown neighborhood. A stone’s throw from downtown, the 19th-century homes and unique boutiques will have you convinced you’ve stepped back in time. Stay close to St. Charles Avenue and Freret Street, which includes independent shops, gourmet bistros and craft bars, as well as art galleries.

Garden District: One of the more popular, refined, and quiet neighborhoods in the city is the Garden District, adjacent Uptown—making it a nice retreat from the noise after the party ends. Greek Revival homes highlight the neighborhood where window shoppers are treated to equal parts antique shops and contemporary design houses. Oh, and the area is as lush as its name implies.

French Quarter Hotels:

Uptown and the Garden District may host the Mardi Gras party. But, the most famous district in NOLA is the French Quarter. Many of the most popular hotels in New Orleans are within walking distance of the lively bars, award-winning restaurants, and live-music venues that dot the iconic balcony-lined streets. Let the aromatics of Cajun spices wash over your senses like the warm glow of candles flickering from the window of a fortune teller’s alcove.

• Astor Crowne Plaza New Orleans: Located at the corner of Canal and Bourbon Streets, the Crowne Plaza puts the pulse of the entire French Quarter at your doorstep. Spend an evening out at nearby Saenger Theatre and enjoy 24-hour room service no matter how late you return to the hotel.
• Bourbon Orleans Hotel: In the heart of the French Quarter, this vibrant hotel has balcony rooms overlooking Bourbon Street, but don’t be surprised if you spend just as much time admiring the plush interior with columns and chandeliers to spare. It’s just a block from the Preservation Hall Old Opera House and Jackson Square Park, so bring your opera glasses.
• Omni Royal Orleans Hotel: Nestled right between Bourbon Street and the Mississippi River, this elegant establishment has been an upscale award winner for over 30 years, and it’s easily one of the more distinguished hotels in New Orleans. Standing tall on the corner of St. Louis and Royal Streets only adds to the luxurious luster, as do the horse-drawn carriages you’ll likely see out front.

Downtown Hotels:

If you’re mixing work and leisure, consider New Orleans hotel deals that land you in the middle of bustling downtown at an easygoing rate.

• Le Pavillon Hotel: When you arrive outside Le Pavillion, you’ll be sure you’ve stepped back in time to the Parisian Belle Époque era. Many of the rooms include a gorgeous fireplace so you can stay cozy any time of year; add the 24-hour room service and you may never want to leave. But you’ve got to step out to see the beautiful outdoor spaces like Lafayette Square and Duncan Plaza.
