Renaissance Pere Marquette Hotel
817 Common St., New Orleans, Louisiana 70112, USAWhy We Like It
The casual dining options are fun and don't scream "hotel restuarant," while you're also close enough to the Quarter to dine and drink anywhere you'd like. Rooms have more windows than average and let in a lot of natural light.
Fodor's Expert Review
This friendly, stylish hotel is within walking distance to Bourbon Street and the French Quarter.
Tip The hotel has no airport shuttle fee, but is happy to help you arrange with an outside company for $24.
