Make sure to call the New Orleans Visitors Bureau and get copies of their New Orleans Good Time Visitors and Accommodations Guides. The NOVB phone number is (504) 566-5052. They have just about every hotel in New Orleans (listed by city district) in the Accommodations Guide -- with a price scale included. (You can see photos of some hotels this way, too.) The Visitors Guide breaks down the sights by points of interest, and by city district. It also includes maps of the city and the French Quarter.
Our New Orleans Lodging Suggestions
For a hotel, you might check out the Le Richelieu Hotel's honeymoon suite. This is the hotel we were married, and honeymooned, at. It's located at 1234 Chartres in the French Quarter. The honeymoon suite is absolutely breathtaking -- with an oak white canopy bed, mirrored walls, the works...
The hotel is very "French Quarter" and "Southern". The Le Richelieu has a Honeymoon Package for $524 (2001 rate) that includes: 3 days/2 nights, chilled champagne on arrival, champagne breakfast with unlimited menu selections for one morning, free continental breakfast the other morning, free nightcap cocktails, free on-site parking (very hard to find in the French Quarter!), etc. Additional nights are $200 each. The number for the hotel is 1-800-535-9653, to request a free brochure with color photos (find a copy of it here), and current rates.
Another hotel we've stayed in and love is the Le Meridien in the Central Business District. It's right on the edge of the Quarter, and very close to the Riverwalk and St. Charles Street Car stop. The Le Meridien is the epitome of modern French elegance and luxury. They also have wonderful specials -- so make sure to ask about them!
