Places to Stay in New Orleans
According to the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention & Visitors Bureau, there are over 208 New Orleans hotels and several new mega-hotels nearing completion. Old favorites and recent award-winning New Orleans hotels shine with renovations and improvements. The majority of hotels for business and leisure travelers are in the central downtown area within walking distance of area attractions and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
Choosing the best New Orleans accommodations is a matter of personal preferences and budget. Stays range from quaint and quirky like The Cornstalk Hotel to lavish and luxurious like Ritz Carlton. If you want to be in the middle of the non-stop party, check into a Bourbon Street hotel. Get close to the party, but not too close with a hotel in the family-friendly Warehouse/Arts District, elegant Garden District and along Canal Street near the waterfront. If budget is an issue, look for local hospitality of value-priced New Orleans Bed and Breakfasts and bargain chain hotels. And, when it's time to splurge choose an award-winning luxury hotel like Windsor Court Hotel , Ritz-Carlton, Hotel Maison de Ville and The Monteleone.
