Historic, romantic, and charming, the French Quarter is many things. Boring is not one of them.
Whether you prefer a tucked-away inn or a hotel in the action, you’ll find the perfect place to stay in this quintessential New Orleans neighborhood.
Savor contemporary Creole at Muriel’s, sample seafood at GW Fins, enjoy Louisiana and Central American flavors at Palm&Pine or snag a muffaletta from Central Grocery. Feeling fancy? Dine in classic elegance at The Pelican Club, Café Sbisa, or Bayona.
Cool hangouts like Orleans Grapevine and The Jazz Playhouse join cocktail lounges like Jewel of the South, plus clubs and cabarets.
Shopping here means antiques, art, jewelry, clothes, and more. Take in the sights, sounds, tastes, and vendors of the French Market. Stop in Dutch Alley Artists Co-op for lovely creations from 25+ artists and source crystals at Earth Odyssey. Before you leave, swing by Jean Lafitte Trading Company and Forever New Orleans for lots of unique only-in-NOLA gifts.
With so much culture, history, and entertainment, you’ll find a unique and exciting experience around every corner. Chill out at Spa Atlantis, enjoy a show at Le Petit Theatre, and blend learning with fun at the New Orleans Storyville Museum, Old Ursuline Convent Museum, and Louisiana State Museums. Or create your own signature scent with perfume-making classes at Tijon.
