Top-rated hotels in New Orleans
Fifteen top-rated hotels in New Orleans, all four or five star and each backed by a guest score from verified stays. The Windsor Court leads at 4.8 from 1532 reviews, followed by a cluster of well-reviewed French Quarter and downtown addresses.
Staying in New Orleans
New Orleans rewards travellers who stay close to the old city. The stays on this shortlist sit in and around the French Quarter, the Central Business District and the Warehouse District, so the French Quarter streets, Canal Street and the riverfront are within reach of every address listed here.
The addresses name Royal Street, Decatur Street, Saint Louis Street and Orleans Street for the quarter's townhouses and grand hotels, Canal Street and Loyola Avenue for the larger downtown properties, and Tchoupitoulas Street, Baronne Street and Magazine Street for the Warehouse District. Couples tend to gravitate to the quarter's smaller properties such as Bienville House Hotel and Hotel Monteleone New Orleans, while business travellers have the big downtown houses, The Roosevelt New Orleans A Waldorf Astoria Hotel and the Hyatt Regency New Orleans among them. Families and museum-goers may prefer Higgins Hotel Official Hotel of The National WWII Museum Curio Collection by Hilton on Magazine Street. Every hotel is four or five star, so a short break rarely means trading comfort for location.
