About Hotels in New Orleans
New Orleans is one of America's most captivating and distinctive cities, combining world-class jazz venues, a legendary food scene, and a culture shaped by French, Creole, and African heritage. Whether you're visiting for the art at the New Orleans Museum of Art, a Saints match at the Caesars Superdome, the revelry of Mardi Gras, or the atmospheric streets of the French Quarter, this city delivers an experience unlike anywhere else.
From grand historic hotels on Canal Street to charming boutique guesthouses in the Garden District, New Orleans offers accommodation for every style and budget. The city is navigable on foot across its most beloved neighbourhoods and well served by the iconic St Charles Avenue streetcar line.
Where to Stay in New Orleans
French Quarter
The historic heart of New Orleans and the natural choice for first-timers. Steps from Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, Café Du Monde, and St Louis Cathedral, with unmatched atmosphere day and night.
Garden District
New Orleans' most elegant neighbourhood, lined with grand antebellum mansions and upscale boutique hotels. A refined base with easy access to Magazine Street's acclaimed restaurants and independent shops.
Marigny & Bywater
The city's creative and bohemian soul, home to the legendary Frenchmen Street live music scene, colourful Creole cottages, and a thriving community of artists, chefs, and independent venues.
Mid-City
A quieter, residential neighbourhood offering excellent value and a genuinely local feel. Well placed for City Park, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Canal Street streetcar line.
Airport and Transport Guide
New Orleans is served by Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), with direct flights to major US hubs and select international destinations. The Airport-Downtown Express (E2 bus) connects the airport to the Central Business District in around 45 minutes, with the journey taking roughly the same time via taxi or rideshare. The E2 operates late into the evening, and taxis are available around the clock from the designated rank outside arrivals.
Within the city, the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) operates the streetcar network and bus routes. The Jazzy Pass — available as a 1-, 3-, or 31-day card — is the most practical option for visitors using multiple lines. The iconic St. Charles streetcar runs 24 hours a day. Taxi fares are metered, with most journeys within the French Quarter and CBD costing between $10 and $20. Uber and Lyft both operate extensively throughout the city.
Tips for Finding the Best Hotel Deal in New Orleans
- Book at least 8–10 weeks ahead for stays during Mardi Gras or Jazz Fest, as hotels sell out entirely and rates surge dramatically
- The Marigny and Bywater neighbourhoods offer lower nightly rates than the French Quarter, with streetcar and bus connections close by
- Look for hotels that include breakfast — New Orleans brunches are legendary, but daily dining costs add up quickly in the tourist centre
- Opt for free cancellation where possible, as New Orleans festival dates shift and demand can spike unexpectedly around Saints home games
- Weekend stays command a significant premium in New Orleans; Tuesday to Thursday nights are consistently cheaper, even at the same property
- Loyalty programmes at Marriott and Hilton are worth using in New Orleans, as both chains have a strong presence and frequent member promotions
When to Visit New Orleans for Lower Prices
Winter (High Season)
December through February is peak season, driven by the Mardi Gras build-up and mild winter weather. Carnival season sees prices surge sharply. Book months in advance for February stays and expect premium rates citywide throughout the period.
Spring (High Season)
March through May brings Jazz Fest, French Quarter Festival, and warm, pleasant weather — New Orleans's most in-demand season. Hotel prices remain elevated across the board. Booking early is essential, particularly for late April and early May.
Summer (Low Season)
June through August brings intense heat, high humidity, and the lowest hotel prices of the year. Hurricane season adds uncertainty. Mid-range hotels can be found from around £80–£130 per night. A quieter, budget-friendly time to explore the city.
Autumn (Value Season)
September and October see humidity ease, crowds thin, and prices fall from summer lows before the Mardi Gras cycle begins again. November in particular offers comfortable weather, modest rates, and a relaxed pace — an underrated time to visit New Orleans.

French Quarter
The historic heart of New Orleans, steps from Jackson Square, Bourbon Street, and the Mississippi riverfront. Iconic but lively — expect noise, especially at weekends.

A creative, artsy enclave downriver from the French Quarter, known for colourful shotgun houses, independent galleries, and a distinctly local atmosphere popular with younger visitors.
