New Orleans Hotels

Visiting New Orleans is like taking a walk along a timeline of history. The modern downtown city center is filled with high-rise hotels, restaurants and trendy stores just steps away from a world where time seems to have been forgotten. From the street musicians in Jackson Square to the flickering gas lamps and lacy ironwork decorated buildings of the French Quarter, to the stately Southern old homes of the Garden District with giant oaks that seem to drip with Spanish moss in City Park; New Orleans is like no other city.

This river city of New Orleans has something to offer for all visitors, from the leisure traveler and vacationer to the business traveler. Take a stroll through one of the parks under moss-draped trees, visit the nearby swamplands where you might spot an alligator as you glide alone in a flat-bottomed boat, enjoy the wildlife at the Audubon Zoo or the Aquarium of the Americas, take the family to Six Flags New Orleans for a day of adventure, enjoy a ride on the St. Charles Streetcar, or just enjoy the hundreds of shops and boutiques along Magazine Street. Enjoy a coffee and beignet at the Café du Monde while doing a bit of people watching, or step out for an evening of jazz and dancing. Music seems to flow from every open doorway with everything from jazz and blues to traditional Cajun tunes that make you want to dance in the streets – or at least tap your feet to the beat.

The Crescent City that is famous for jazz and Mardi Gras, also offers visitors excellent dining with restaurants that offer cuisine from the world over. As you walk along the streets you are almost assaulted with wonderful aromas that almost pull you off of the street to sample some of the best food you can find anywhere. The city is filled with restaurants that serve up everything from the simplicity of the Southern fried chicken to specialties from France and Italy. Added to this local favorites from po' boys and beignets to crawfish and barbecued shrimp.
