Rooms with a Vieux
New Orleans’ most famous neighborhood is the French Quarter, also known as the Vieux Carré. Every year, millions of travelers save up their precious vacation time for a few days or a week in the Quarter. Partiers love to be smack dab in the middle of the Bourbon Street fun, foodies crave easy access to world-famous, century-old restaurants, and who doesn’t enjoy strolling the cobblestone streets, peeking into hidden courtyards and fun little shop windows filled with treasures.
On the edge of the Quarter is an artsy neighborhood known as the Faubourg Marigny, after the Creole plantation owner who once owned this land. Here the architecture blends colonial French and Spanish styles with elements of the Caribbean. If you came to New Orleans for the music, the clubs on Frenchmen Street are reason enough to book a room here.

Attractions in the French Quarter
The French Quarter is an international destination and is listed as a "must-see" by everyone recommending the best places to visit in the world. Often known as the Vieux Carré, the French Quarter is the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans. It is most well-known for Bourbon Street -- thirteen blocks known for its nightclubs, famous restaurants and New Orleans party venues. It is truly a party destination.
However, its history, romance and beauty are what brings back our visitors. Our illustrious streets are lined with fine dining restaurants, antique and luxury shopping ... and are filled with the sounds of jazz. Jackson Square, one of the most photographed spots in the country and St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest continuously operating cathedral in the United States are both located in the French Quarter.
Other famous French Quarter attractions include the French Market, the oldest public market in the country. For breakfast or as a treat, you'll want to check out our famous beignets and cafe au lait ... and take a ride on the Mississippi River on the Steamboat Natchez, an authentic riverboat that sets sail from the French Quarter and cruises the Mississippi three times daily.
If you want to be in the middle of all of this history, romance and beauty, reserve a hotel room in the French Quarter. You'll be within walking distance to many famous New Orleans restaurants, world-class shopping, and breath-taking beauty. Many tours outside of the French Quarter will pick you at your door. Most importantly, at the end of the night, it'll be just a short walk back to your hotel room.
