Lodging for family of four in the French Quarter?
I lived in NO as a kid and dh and I visit regularly. We are toying w/the idea of taking our kids for spring break this year. I know, it may sound like an odd place for a family trip to some, but since I lived there in my younger days it really appeals to me. The zoo, riverboats, music, swamp tours, art, history & FOOD!
Anyway, dh & I usually stay at Royal Sonesta but this isn't really an option w/the kids. I want to be in heart of the French Quarter, but probably not right on Bourbon St. We'd like some sort of suite (separate living area & bedroom) but prefer a place w/New Orleans charm rather than your standard Embassy Suites. Maybe old apartments that have been converted into a hotel? Nothing too $$$$ but not low end either. Suggestions?

We stayed at the Place d'Armes a couple months ago and thought the location was terrific - it is on St. Ann, between Chartres and Royal, just off Jackson Square. I don't know if they have rooms with seperate living areas like you are looking for, but there were quite a few families with children staying there, so it might be worth checking out.
I think NO is a terrific place for a family trip.

The Hotel Provincial has "petite suites" which open onto a pretty little courtyard.
Location is good--in the quarter, but closer to French Market area.

We stayed at the Iberville Suites, pre-Katrina. I have no idea what they are like now, but then we had a great stay. The property is next door to the Ritz, who also own the Iberville Suites. The decor was casually elegant with a New Orleans feel. Our room had a sleeping area and living area, separated by a dressing area and bathroom.
Another possibility you might investigate is the Quarter House. I haven't personally stayed there, but have heard positive comments.

Here's the post I was referring to.
We stayed at the Quarter House in the FQ in a 1 bedroom w/ kitchen and living area on a timeshare exchange. It was very nice, like a small hotel. I just looked at their website http://www.quarterhouse.com/ and the rate for the unit we had is 225.00.
