This 296-room mid-range hotel is conveniently located in the downtown NOLA area, about a half-mile from the Mercedes Benz Superdome. The hotel is also convenient to the French Quarter, convention centers, and other area attractions, making it a great choice for those traveling for business or pleasure. The rooms are well-kept but have a decidedly retro feel, which emanates from the original Andy Warhol painting that graces the lobby. There is a nice-sized rooftop pool, a 24-hour fitness center, and a funky lobby bar for relaxation, but if work is on the agenda, rest assured: the hotel provides meeting rooms, business center, and free Wi-Fi. Convenience, comfort, and a little artistic quirk sum up this Holiday Inn.

This historic mid-range hotel, located right on the famous Jackson Square (once called Place D'Armes), is the essence of old world charm and perfectly situated for sightseeing. Built in the 18th century, there is a quaint, yesteryear feel throughout the property, which consists of eight renovated town homes surrounding a courtyard with a swimming pool and fountain. Accordingly, none of the 84 guest rooms appear identical, and many have amazing, authentic attributes like exposed brick walls and wrought-iron balconies overlooking the square. The hotel feels intimate and personal while still offering modern in-room amenities like free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers. It lacks an on-site restaurant and fitness center, and the only business-friendly amenity is a single computer for guest use.

The 143-room Royal St. Charles is a colorful mid-range hotel in the Central Business District, near the French Quarter.
