This nonsmoking hotel is merely a few blocks from Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. Rooms have residential-size bathrooms with marble floors. Add two nights for $180.
Before you go, visit the city's official tourism site, neworleansonline.com, and the website French Quarter Festivals, fqfi.org.
