Located on the famous Bourbon Street in the French Quarter, the Lafitte Guest House is a three-pearl boutique hotel near the city’s most popular areas. Built in 1849, the hotel is an attraction in itself, doubling as an art gallery and filled with classic French decor from another era. Its 14 rooms are elegant and include flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges, though bathrooms are small and are starting to show their age. A free breakfast buffet, shared kitchen, and a business center round out the amenities, plus there's an attractive courtyard that makes for a lovely spot to gather with other guests. Many guests complain of noise issues due to the Bourbon Street location, however; for something that's a bit quieter, travelers might want to check out the Grenoble House, another French Quarter property that has the added perk of a pool.

The 600-room, four-pearl Hotel Monteleone is a historic, grande dame property that has played home to several literary icons. Today it's known for the famous, rotating Carousel Bar, and its central French Quarter location on gallery-filled Royal Street, just one block from buzzing Bourbon Street. Traditionally elegant rooms may be too old-fashioned (and small) for some, but others find it fits in with the property's overall charm. Keurig coffeemakers, free Wi-Fi, and mini-fridges are provided, but rooms lack balconies and many suffer from street noise. A rooftop pool provides respite from the lively city, as do a full-service spa, all-day restaurant serving regional cuisine, and gym with a good array of equipment and city vistas. Extensive meeting space attracts corporate groups, but most guests are couples on vacation. Travelers wanting a more modern stay should consider the Royal Sonesta.

Hotel Le Marais is a mid-range boutique located in the heart of the French Quarter, set half a block from both Bourbon and Royal Streets. Its 66 rooms are contemporary and well-sized, albeit a bit bland and generic, and some have furnished balconies. Quality amenities consist of flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, bathrobes, and free Wi-Fi, though there are no mini-fridges and many guests have complained of noise from the street, neighboring rooms, and elevators. Great freebies include daily breakfasts with hot and cold fare, welcome drinks at the bar, and in-room bottled water. The highlight here is arguably the lovely courtyard with a small heated saltwater pool and ample seating. This is a good pick for travelers wanting a hotel with a quiet atmosphere that's still near all the action. It's worth comparing rates with the similar, but more charming Hotel Mazarin.

The historic Hotel Villa Convento is a budget, family-run guesthouse conveniently located in the French Quarter that dates back to the 1830s and boasts Jimmy Buffet as a former boarder. The historic Creole townhouse features exposed brick walls, balconies, and views of the skyline, but also comes with a set of drawbacks, which include old plumbing, mustiness, and other signs of age and wear and tear, though overall this quirky property is charming and full of character (and is even said to be haunted). Its 25 funky rooms are fairly basic, but comfortable, and some have lovely balconies. Amenities are limited, but freebies include parking, Wi-Fi throughout, and coffee in the morning. There's a charming outdoor courtyard skirted in lush greenery. There are several other comparable properties in the area that travelers might want to consider instead, however, such as the Frenchmen Hotel, which has a pool in its courtyard, or the Chateau Hotel.

The B&B is best suited for couples or travelers eager to capture a taste of old New Orleans. For those seeking luxury and modern amenities such as a pool and fitness facilities, the Maison Dupuy is an option, but be prepared to pay more.
