The Best Hotels for Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties in New Orleans
With its warm weather, unique spirit, and nonstop festivities, New Orleans appeals to many a bachelor and bachelorette. Most parties crowd around Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, occasionally stumbling onto Frenchmen Street for live music, and these areas cater to large parties looking for drinking, dancing, and late nights (or early mornings). Properties off of the main drag appeal to those looking for an experience that slightly deviates from the norm. These are the best options.
Hilton New Orleans Riverside
Why it made the list
Steps from the casino and French Quarter with two pools, on-site oysters, and bars and restaurants all add to the appeal of this large riverside hotel. The giant fitness center includes racquetball, basketball, and tennis, making it perfect for more athletic groups and those wanting to sweat out their daiquiris and beignets.
MOXY New Orleans
Why it made the list
This hotel is already such a party promoter, you won't have to worry about keeping the volume up or the liquor flowing. The 24-hour lobby bar stays busy almost just that long, with group games, lounge areas, and upbeat music. Rooms are affordable and available for group rates.
Ace Hotel New Orleans
Why it made the list
If you're the kind of friend that's always dragging the group around town to see the latest new wave punk band or twin DJs straight in from Stockholm, then the Ace Hotel is right for your bachelor/ette party. The downstairs music venue and its full calendar of cutting-edge entertainment is just one of the hotel's pleasing outlets: There's great local seafood, rustic Italian or American comforts for noshing, and the rooftop pool will quickly become your daytime party spot.

Harrah's New Orleans Hotel
Why it made the list
On the surface, this hotel appeals most to gamblers, but really there are a plethora of entertainment options right on site. Aside from a beer garden and steakhouse, Masquerade, Harrah's nightclub, often hosts celebrity DJs and wild parties well into the night. The French Quarter is less than a five-minute walk.

Why it made the list
