New Orleans Hotels

New Orleans is a fairly compact town, but if you choose to stay Uptown, you'll need to travel a bit to reach the Quarter. Although most hotels favored by visitors are in the French Quarter, Central Business District (CBD) or Warehouse District, there are choices beyond the city center.

The French Quarter is a destination in itself. With fascinating architecture, vibrant nightlife, shopping, and incredible restaurants, you could spend a week in New Orleans without leaving its confines.

Hotels in the CBD cater to business travelers as well as tourists and are more likely to have modern amenities such as in-room Wi-Fi and business centers.

The Warehouse District harbors many hotels whose buildings were originally used to store cotton or other goods. In most cases, thoughtful renovations let the original purpose of the structures show through, making for an interesting architectural style.

To the north and east of the Quarter is the Faubourg Marigny. One of the first "suburbs" of New Orleans, it remains a residential area but with its own nightlife and restaurant scene.

To the west of the city's center, the Garden District and Uptown neighborhoods offer streets lined by the spreading boughs of live oak trees, excellent shopping opportunities, interesting architecture and more outstanding dining and music venues. Public transportation is not one of New Orleans' strengths, but if you have a bit of patience, the streetcar line that runs the length of St. Charles Avenue from Carrollton to Canal Street is a lovely way to travel.
