Fodor's Expert Review Holiday Inn New Orleans French Quarter

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

One of the few very family-friendly properties in the French Quarter, this is your spot if you're traveling with tots and love to walk. A 20-story chain hotel, it's close to Canal Street and within walking distance of Royal Street shopping, French Quarter restaurants, and the Central Business District. You're also close to the streetcar and the Aquarium and Insectarium. The on-site laundry facilities and indoor pool are bonuses. The Checkered Parrot serves casual fare with a Key West motif.
