OT: New Orleans Hotels

[Uncle Ruckus]

Living close to New Orleans, we never stay overnight, but I’m wanting to stay for a weekend next month. No specifics location, but it’d be nice to be able to walk to the market and the surrounding areas. Something kinda nice too, not a typical hotel room. Every year we usually go somewhere for a weekend a get a suite, so this is where we decided on this year.

Windsor Court is really nice but it’s across canal street from everything in the French quarter. My favorite from a location standpoint is Omni Royal. Nice hotel, awesome location.

I like the Q&C main building (not the annex). Now a Marriott property. Great bar and lobby

 

[Ishmael]

The Roosevelt.

Royal Sonesta is prettt iconic. If I’m traveling personally, I usually stay in the Warehouse district.

 

[HotMop]

Motel 6 in Chalmette, catch the bus.

Second the Omni. Great location. Also, try and keep as many blocks between where you stay and Canal/Iberville area.

 

[LandArchDawg]

Seconded.

 

[MarkDallas]

Our favorite is Le Richelieu. It's smaller and has a lot of character. On the quiet end of the Quarter but still walking distance. Pretty affordable.

Stay at Place De Arms right down from Jackson Square. Very nice and quiet. Really enjoyed waking up on Sunday morning, getting ready to check out, and watching the vagrant piss on a car while telling everyone who saw him he was sorry, he couldn’t help it.

The only city in the country i use Hotwire for is New Orleans and I go 7-8 times a year.

Hotels are typically VERY expensive. 250-400/night theough the hotels for a good hotel in a good spot

Go to hotwire. Select downtown/supersome area and 4* or better. The hotels that are options are always the intercontinental, jw marriott, le pavillion, hyatt superdome and maybe another random one. You can typically book between $85-130/night for the same $250+ places

Works like clockwork

The Ritz, Hotel Monteleone, The Saint. They are nicer. Stayed at all of those. Saint is interesting boutique hotel. The bar down stairs is cool. Usually a good music act. Hotel Monteleone has the carousel bar. Ritz is the nicest. All of these are on Canal or in French Quarter. Go get a steak at Dickie Brennan’s.

Royal sonesta is great. I forgot about that one.

If staying in a high rise pay a little to stay in a room higher up. You’ll sleep better

 

[Todd4State]

Hotel Monteleone.

You're welcome.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Le pavilion is also very nice but it’s been forever since I’ve stayed there.

Valentino hotels. Bunch of quarter hotels you can get cheap (plus parking of course).

We actually stay at the Best Western on St. Charles or the Courtyard Marriot in the warehouse district by Emerils. Best Western has a gated lot with no parking fee. Courtyard is a quick walk to a street car or Harrahs area. Uber’s are reasonable to anywhere from both.

Think they both are on hotels.com as well. 10 nights gets a free night.

^ priceline bidding works great in NOLA, if you know what you’re doing. Use the hotel list from biddingfortravel

If you know what to look for you can get the Doubletree super cheap.

In the past, the Whitney had a deal for $69.99 per night if you book through front desk and stayed at least 3 nights

Never fails

1.) Royal Sonesta
2.) Bourbon Orleans Hotel

Those 2 are my favorite. If you want something a bit quieter than Bourbon Street, some of these others will be good. However, I've never had a problem sleeping when I stay in the ones on Bourbon as long as I got a room that was not a balcony on the street.

The Westin at One Canal Place. Right next to the Aquarium and Riverwalk. Easy walk down to Jackson Sq. and French Quarter Mkt. Or buy a weekend pass and ride the street car where you want to go. Great movie theater at One Canal Place. Leather reclining seats and wait staff to bring you drinks and munchies.

We stayed at Waldorf Astoria Roosevelt two weeks ago when we were in town for the Fleetwood Mac concert at Smoothie King Center. It was great. Walking distance to just about everything. Highly recommend.

The Ritz is the best. Monteleone is great as well, but a step down in my opinion. I just stayed at Windsor Court. It’s very nice, but room was hot. If you want to stay in a place with a super weird room, try The Ace Hotel. The Ace has the best bar in the lobby and great music. The room is like a studio apartment. Black sheets on the bed. It’s very different, but pretty cool.

Yep

Same endorsement here with regard to Hotwire in NOLA.
