New Orleans curves around a bend in the Mississippi River, with the French Quarter at its historic core. The music and food reach well beyond the Quarter. Stay in the Quarter to walk everywhere, in the CBD for larger hotels, or by an Uptown streetcar stop for quieter nights.
The French Quarter packs Jackson Square, the French Market, Royal Street and Bourbon Street into a compact grid. Bourbon draws late-night crowds, while blocks near Royal and Chartres have galleries and older buildings. Check the exact block when you book. Two hotels a few streets apart can mean very different nights of sleep.
Across Canal Street, the Central Business District has hotels near theaters and the Superdome. Next door, the Arts and Warehouse District has the National WWII Museum, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and the convention center. Both are close to the Quarter without putting you on one of its party streets.
Downriver, the Marigny has Frenchmen Street music venues; Bywater continues toward Crescent Park. Upriver, the Garden District and Uptown follow the St. Charles Avenue streetcar past historic homes, with Magazine Street shops and restaurants on parallel blocks. Mid-City is closer to City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art via the Canal streetcar.
Spring and fall are better for walking than the hot, humid summer. MSY is west of downtown, in Kenner. RTA Route 202 runs from the airport to Poydras Street. If you’re staying in the French Quarter or Uptown, check where its current stops are.
Jackson Square, Royal Street and the French Market are easy to cover on foot. Bourbon Street stays busy late, so check the hotel’s exact block if quiet sleep matters. The Quarter is the easy pick for a first visit and a hard place to park.
Around here: Jackson Square, Royal Street, French Market, Bourbon Street
The CBD begins across Canal Street from the Quarter. Stay here for larger hotels, theaters and the Superdome. The Quarter is a short walk away, though a hotel near Poydras Street is a longer walk than one on Canal.
Around here: Canal Street, Caesars Superdome, Saenger Theatre
The National WWII Museum, Ogden Museum and Contemporary Arts Center sit around Camp and Magazine streets. Stay here for museum and convention days. Frenchmen Street and the Garden District need a ride or longer walk.
Around here: The National WWII Museum, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Ernest N. Morial Convention Center
Frenchmen Street is the Marigny’s music corridor just beyond the Quarter. Bywater runs farther downriver toward Crescent Park. Stay in a hotel or guesthouse here for evenings in the neighborhood, and plan how you’ll get back after late music.
Around here: Frenchmen Street, Washington Square, Crescent Park
The St. Charles Avenue streetcar passes Garden District homes on its way Uptown. Magazine Street has shops and restaurants on parallel blocks. It’s calmer than Bourbon Street. After a night in the Quarter, you’ll need the streetcar, a bus or a rideshare back.
Around here: St. Charles Avenue, Magazine Street, Lafayette Cemetery No. 1
The Canal streetcar heads toward City Park, the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Besthoff Sculpture Garden. Pick Mid-City for park days and neighborhood restaurants. The Quarter and the convention center are a ride away.
Around here: City Park, New Orleans Museum of Art, Besthoff Sculpture Garden
March through May and October into early November are the months for long walks. Summer is hot, humid and wet. Winter has mild afternoons and the odd cool night. Events can fill hotels, so check the calendar before you pick a neighborhood.
