Bourbon Orleans
A historic hotel redolent with Southern splendour, the Bourbon Orleans is noted for individually designed rooms in varying sizes. Each features a pillow-top mattress, high-speed Internet, desk with ergonomically designed Hermann Miller chairs, coffee maker and shower massager. The property's swimming pool sits within the courtyard. Thirst quenching can be done at the Vieux Dieux Brew coffee shop or at the hotel's two lounges - Bourbon Oh! and the 'after hours' favourite, Napolean's Itch . Hunger is sated at Paillard's , a restaurant that specialises in southern fusion cuisine. Located just behind the French Quarter's famous St Louis Cathedral. or

Monteleone
Built in 1886, the French Quarter's oldest hotel combines old Southern charm and literary heritage (a host of famous writers throughout history considered this a home away from home) with modern conveniences. Liveried doormen, a large lobby that shimmers with crystal chandeliers and marble, and the revolving Carousel Bar have been around for ages. Spacious, earth-toned guestrooms decorated in lush fabrics are a modern affair with state of the art amenities and marble baths. And a unique extra - many believe the seventh and 14th floors are haunted. or
