Hotels in New Orleans LA

Hotels in New Orleans feature cozy accommodations in a city nicknamed “The Big Easy” and “NOLA”. Laid-back, easy-going, New Orleans is commonly pronounced “New OR-lins” or by locals “New AHL-lee-ins”.  The Big Easy is known for its unique dialect, Creole cuisine,  jazz music and its world-renowned celebration Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday. When attending Mardi Gras, try and book your hotel at least 8 months in advance. Keep in mind that most hotels require a 4 to 5 day minimum stay during this time of year. Mardi Gras notable rules are to keep coolers and grills at least 6 feet from the curb and to keep alcoholic beverages in cans or cups. Glass bottles are not allowed and flashing, as well as public urination, can get you arrested. Be sure to arrive at least 4 hours early for Mardi Gras and remember that the general public’s vehicles are prohibited within the French Quarter during this time. Year-round live music seekers may find lively entertainment at Frenchmen Street. The city’s professional sports teams are the New Orleans Saints and the New Orleans Pelicans. Additional events include New Orleans Film Festival, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Tennessee Williams & New Orleans Literary Festival, French Quarter Festival, Satchmo SummerFest, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, Freret Street Festival, Tales of the Cocktail, Oak Street Po-Boy Festival, Bayou Boogaloo, Essence Fest, BUKU Music + Art Project and Hogs for the Cause. Indeed, hotels in New Orleans are some of the best in the southern United States. Before we get you to hotels in New Orleans, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Founded in 1718 by the French Mississippi Company, New Orleans was named after Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, who was Regent of the Kingdom of France. Like with many frontier cities, French colonists faced adversity by way of Native American attacks. The Natchez Revolt of 1729 accounted for 230 colonist deaths. Following the Seven Years’ War, France ceded the area to the Spanish Empire. Ironically, French Quarter architecture was built by the Spanish during the 18th-century. During the American Revolutionary War, New Orleans became an important port for smuggling aid to the rebels. Military equipment and supplies were transported up the Mississippi River. The term “Dixie”, as applied to currency, originated in the city. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, New Orleans became a United States city and expanded rapidly. By 1810, over half a million slaves had been brought to the area, which fueled the Confederate economy. Collectively, slaves were valued at around half a billion dollars. Just prior to the American Civil War, New Orleans had per capita income that ranked second in the nation, as well as the third busiest port behind Boston and New York. The capture of New Orleans in 1862, which resulted in zero casualties, proved to be a turning point in the Civil War, as it gave the Union Army the strategic positioning and momentum needed to take control of the Mississippi River. Population doubled in the 1930s, with Anglo-Americans, German and Irish immigrants becoming the area’s newest settlers.

With inhabitants numbering around 350,000 people today, New Orleans is Louisiana‘s most populated city. NOLA benefits from short, mild winters, while summers are hot and humid. A major worldly port city with southern local charm, New Orleans harbors both tanker ships and steamboats. The city is well-known for its Mardi Gras Festival, which takes place in late-February. The New Orleans Saints play at Caesars Superdome, formerly known as Louisiana Superdome and Mercedes-Benz Superdome, which has hosted seven Super Bowls. Points of interest include French Quarter, Bourbon Street, Central Business District, St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans Museum of Art, Café du Monde, Tulane University and University of New Orleans. Popular cuisine includes gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish etouffee, po-boys (a traditional Louisiana sandwich consisting of roast beef or fried seafood), muffuletta (a type of round Sicilian sesame bread sandwich), beignets (deep-fried choux pastry) and bananas foster (a dessert made from bananas and vanilla ice cream). Well-sought drinks are Brandy Milk Punch, Vieux Carre, Sazerac and French 75. Now that we have a little background information on the area, it’s time for hotels in New Orleans that will help make for a remarkable experience.
