New Orleans<\/a> is one of my favorite places in the world (and that\u2019s saying something). There\u2019s just something about this city. It\u2019s magic. The people and energy make it impossible not to have a good time here. It\u2019s really bounced back from Hurricane Katrina (I visited right after, and it was a completely different city). I\u2019m glad to see the city thriving. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a popular destination too, and not just because of Mardi Gras. A lot of conferences, music festivals, and bachelor\/bachelorette parties are held here. There\u2019s a lot to see and do here too<\/a>. As such, there are a ton of hotels to choose from. But not all are worth staying at. <\/p>\n

So, to help you save time researching and ensure you have a great experience, here are my favorite hotels in New Orleans based on my countless visits: <\/p>\n

1. Villa Convento<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Historic

The villa has loft, balcony, and courtyard rooms, as well as suites if you\u2019re traveling as a family or with friends. All rooms are bedecked with antique furniture like beautiful wooden headboards and nightstands, as well as artwork on the walls. The rooms and accompanying bathrooms are a bit small and don\u2019t have a ton of amenities (this is a budget-friendly guesthouse after all), but all rooms have a flatscreen TV, a seating area, and complimentary toiletries. Some rooms have minifridges, though there\u2019s also a fridge and microwave in the lobby for all guests to use. This is the perfect choice for budget-conscious travelers looking to be in the heart of the French Quarter. <\/p>\n

2. Inn at the Old Jail<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A

Each of the nine rooms here are distinct. If you aren\u2019t easily creeped out, you can stay in their most budget-friendly room \u2014 literally called The Cage \u2014 where you\u2019ll find a former inmate\u2019s name carved into the wall. Otherwise, the rooms feature high ceilings, original hardwood floors, and wood-panel wainscoting on the walls that comes from reclaimed Katrina debris (something I find really neat). All rooms have antique furniture and queen beds with memory-foam mattresses. The bathrooms have joint shower\/tub combos with classic subway-tiled walls and complimentary toiletries. <\/p>\n

The hotel is located in Trem\u00e9, an area that\u2019s off the typical tourist trail<\/a>. I love this area in particular because of all the traditional Creole and Cajun fare you can find here. It\u2019s a great choice for foodies.<\/p>\n

3. St. Charles Coach House<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A

The rooms are spacious, with soft tones, a minimalist design, and lots of natural light. All rooms have a desk, comfy chair to sit in, Keurig coffee maker, flatscreen TV, fridge, and thick mattresses. I like that the newly updated bathrooms have a lot of counter space, bright and fun tiled floors, complimentary toiletries, and walk-in showers with great water pressure (always a plus for me). This is a great, budget-friendly place to stay in the leafy Garden District. Plus, the streetcar stops right out front so it\u2019s easy to get around the city from here.<\/p>\n

4. Creole Gardens Inn<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A

The funky rooms are all different, from small rooms in the cottage to sprawling suites in the mansion. (There\u2019s even a room that\u2019s supposed to be haunted!) All rooms have boldly painted walls adorned with unique local artwork, hardwood floors, and eclectic furniture like four-poster beds and large wooden wardrobes. While the amenities are fairly basic, the beds are thick and comfortable, and the large windows let in a lot of light. I\u2019d say this is a great choice if you\u2019re looking for a bed and breakfast where you can experience true southern hospitality! <\/p>\n

5. Serenity in the Marigny<\/a> <\/h3>\n

\"A

The rooms have a chic design, with modern art on the walls and unique chandeliers brightening the space. Each even has its own private entrance. While the rooms are a bit on the smaller side, they have comfy pillow-top beds, Smart TVs, and a desk. The big bathrooms are beautifully tiled and have rainfall shower heads with good water pressure. They also provide tons of towels as well as complimentary toiletries. This is a really relaxing and tranquil place to stay in the Marigny.<\/p>\n

5. Maison M\u00e9tier<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A

While breakfast isn\u2019t included (and I find it kind of expensive), it\u2019s delicious and served in yet another beautifully designed room with lots of natural light. As a hotel guest, you get access to the fitness center and pool across the street. <\/p>\n

As for the rooms, they are spacious and elegant, with high ceilings, large windows, and unique artwork on the walls. The huge bathrooms are stunning too, with deep soaking tubs, walk-in showers, tiled floors, and complimentary toiletries. In-room amenities include a 55\u201d TV, mini-fridge, blackout curtains, and a seating area with sofa\/chair. Another nice touch is that you can get coffee or tea delivered to your room every morning (for free). I absolutely love this hotel. It perfectly hits the mark of being both funky and interesting yet refined and luxurious. And it\u2019s in a great location too!<\/p>\n

***<\/center><\/p>\n

The Big Easy is one of those must-visit places in the world. It\u2019s got a rich culture and unique energy that can\u2019t be beat. Plus, there are tons of things to do<\/a> (that don\u2019t involve frozen drinks on rowdy Bourbon Street). No matter how you spend your time in NOLA, choose from the hotels above and you\u2019re sure to have an excellent stay!<\/p>\n

Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It\u2019s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I\u2019ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:<\/p>\n
