Default French Quarter Hotels

The French Quarter of New Orleans is it's most popular neighborhood. It is one of the best preserved historical neighbour hoods in America and while there you may feel you are really living in a foreign country due to its stunning architecture. First laid out in 1722 the 13 block area is packed with history, entertainment, restaurants and nightlife.

There are several hotels in the French Quarter and they are ideal for anyone wishing to visit the area due to their close proximity to the most popular streets of New Orleans.

Bourbon Street is known throughout the world for its almost 24 hour party atmosphere. Here the streets are lined with bars, jazz clubs, restaurants, "gentlemen's clubs" and boutiques. There are outside bars where you will find people drinking and dancing to the blues and rock 'n' roll which flow out open windows to the street. The hotels here are often busy but are especially packed during the Mardi Gras so it is important to book well in advance. The best advice would be that if you are looking for a good nights sleep, don't get a room on Bourbon Street as it is simply too noisy. However, if you want to be in the heart of the party atmosphere, this street is ideal and a second floor room with balcony will give you a fantastic view of the comings and goings.

The quieter streets maybe be a more suitable location for your choice of hotel, depending on what you are looking for. Many of the hotels have amazing history and interesting stories to tell. Visitors to the area may even be looking for a hotel which claims to be haunted, and several make this claim due to the age of the buildings.

The French Quarter is one of the most beautiful areas in New Orleansand the hotels are equally beautiful and extremely stylish. For more information on the accomodation in the area click on the following link.
